The property is a little cluttered but don't let that turn you away. We were initially greeted by several small and excited dogs. The guides then selected the horses for our builds and age. They are knowledgeable and helpful the entire trip. They assign guides and tours based on who is signed up and make the trip especially for your group and other parties interested in the same tour as you. The initial part of the trail is quite muddy with underlying rocks - I was concerned about the horses footing but they did fine. They're quite strong and led us well - they certainly all have their own personalities! We very much enjoyed our time and can't wait to go back and try more of their tours.

Very badly managed. Parking fill up by 6 AM. You are then sent to Ski resort parking only to learn…read morebus tickets are sold out. Private shuttle companies prey on tourists charging exuberant fees that go up every year. If you get lucky, you will find a spot in a dirt parking lot over a mile away. You'd have to pay $42 to park in the dirt and dust and walk on a road where there are no sidewalks and your option is to take a chance at getting hit by passing RVs and trucks or fall into the valley! Getting to the lake, we were greeted by high dusty wind followed by thunder and rain! Did I mention getting harassed by police on the way who ticketed us $400 for speeding when everyone else was passing us and going faster than us. The gov here will charge you for everything. The people look at you as an ATM machine and will overcharge you for everything from hotel stays to food. On top of that, you are not welcome and they treat you badly. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!

I've always dreamed of seeing Lake Louise! We came in early March, so we didn't get to see the…read morebeautiful waters as everything was frozen over, but it was still so pretty! Love how they even cleared out an ice rink and ice bar right on the lake and they were multiple people skating on the rink! I was a bit scared to venture out onto the frozen lake since I've heard horror stories of frozen surfaces breaking and people plunging in...but seeing as they literally had a rink paved out, I felt better safety-wise. There definitely are some small pockets of melted water where the ice is thinner along those edges, so I would just be aware of your surroundings.  Overall, such a beautiful lake and definitely worth visiting! I'll have to come back in the summer to check out its beauty out in a different season. We also didn't get the chance to hike, but I'm sure the trails are stunning as well!

Print out tickets in advance just in case there's SOS, follow specific instructions on where to park your vehicle depending on departure time, and present it to the employee. If arriving later in the day, allow extra walking time from parked vehicle to meeting area since Lake Louise Summer Gondola parking lot and Samson Mall parking lot fills up quickly. Look for the white, pink and green small shuttle. Shuttle leaves on time. Great sense of humor, history and variety of music genre from Jamee for outbound transportation 7/16/26 at 6:20 AM. Insightful, great storyteller, and food reccommendations from Nick for return transportation 7/16/26 at 11:25 AM. Highly recommend. Thank you Jamee, Nick and staff at Moraine Lake Bus Company.

We had an excellent experience with Moraine Lake Bus Company and would absolutely use them again on…read moreour next visit to Banff. Our early morning driver, Brydon, our Lake Louise return driver, Carl, and our afternoon Moraine Lake driver, Ella, were all fantastic. They were friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and made the rides enjoyable by sharing local information along the way. They were also wonderful with our kids, which made the experience even more relaxing for our family. The entire booking process was incredibly easy, and the pickup and drop-off locations were straightforward and well organized. Compared to navigating the public shuttle system, the overall experience was so much simpler and less stressful. Don't listen to the "haters" who didn't do their due diligence in researching how the shuttle system works during peak season, how private vehicles are restricted, or who showed up late and missed their bus. The company is very clear about arriving early and departing on time out of respect for all travelers. Once you follow that, everything runs like clockwork. If you're visiting Lake Louise or Moraine Lake, I highly recommend Moraine Lake Bus Company. Great service, great drivers, and a seamless experience from booking to the final drop-off. We'll definitely be booking with them again on our next trip!

For approximately the next three hours, Mark patiently showed me how to best use my Nikon and walked me through how to shoot a good landscape photo.

When I was going to be in Banff for a conference, I arranged two consecutive private morning…read moresunrise workshops with Mark Unrau, owner of Rocky Mountain Photo Adventures. Right from the start, I was impressed with Mark's communication-- prompt, professional, and friendly. He picked me up both mornings from my lodge at 5:30am and took me to THE most gorgeous spots. We didn't stay clumped up with the rest of the photographers, as he knows the best spots away from the others so you can really focus (and get unique shots). I'm a hobbyist photographer who knows the basics, but I came away with a new appreciation for taking time to properly compose an image, working with a variety of filters to manage morning light, and understanding the ins and outs of long exposure shooting. I've been on many photo workshops in the past, and oftentimes the teacher is distracted by their own camera and capturing their own images while also trying to teach. This is NOT Mark. He does not bring out his camera (although he has ALL the equipment you could ever need) and gives you his 100% undivided attention. Mark is a truly gifted and passionate teacher who takes the time to learn about his student and their level of expertise, meets them where they are, and then extends their skills to improve their photography far beyond what I could have imagined. He's also an all around nice guy, who remains available to you after the workshop for questions, follow-up etc. I truly enjoyed my time with him and couldn't recommend him highly enough. Oh, and the shots I captured were truly breathtaking-- Thanks Mark!

Since we were a party of 2, we could sit in the front seats which usually requires an additional charge to guarantee those seats. The flight was super smooth and we loved being the co-pilot and see the glaciers from high above. Unfortunately there was a good amount of smoke coming from wildfires up north which led to somewhat poor visibility but we would highly recommend this to anyone. We'll definitely be back to a longer ride the next time we're in the rockies!

Naturally, we put her in the co-pilot's seat. Mom is my co-pilot. And she absolutely loved it. We all did! There were some tummy flipping dips as we rode the currents between mountains, but we were in very capable hands with our pilots. I wouldn't say I'm a religious person, but I now understand what they mean by "God's country". Flying around the sun drenched peaks of the Canadian Rockies will make anyone believe in heaven. We saw azure blue mountain lakes, sprawling rivers and miles of blue peaked mountains. It was awe inspiring. After about 20 minutes of flying, our pilots gently touched down next to a mountain stream and led us upstream on a little hike to a beautiful waterfall. Then, just when things couldn't get better, they whipped out the CHAMPAGNE. In real GLASS glasses, which is waaaay better than the plastic ones I take to picnics. We explored the area and chatted with our very interesting and friendly pilots for over an hour. And of course, after several glasses of champs, my sis and I needed to hike to the top of the falls for topless Little Mermaid pix. To say everyone was happy would be an under(wear)statement. All of it was just glorious and I would highly recommend this to anyone! My mom is 80+ and had no problem with the ride or the hike. Just FYI, they do weigh everyone before flight. Our groups were both "a little" over the weight limit. Everything's bigger in Texas! But the pilots oked us to fly. I helpfully suggested if we needed to lighten our load, we should throw out my nephew before we lose the champagne. A girl's gotta have priorities!

They picked us up in front of our hotel and drove us out to BC where Dave personally guided us through the tour. I have a fear of heights and yet they patiently worked with me to make that 7000ft drive up and down. And the scenery was absolutely magical! Additionally they were very accommodating, providing ski suits and other winter gear necessary to protect us on the tour! We really enjoyed our snowmobiling tour and can't forget the delicious lunch provided At Dawns Diner! The burger was juicy and flavorful and so was the chicken and tomato bisque! Once the tour was over, they drove us right back to our hotel doors in Banff! I personally cannot wait to come back and go in this tour again!
