Good to know

Families are welcome on suitable departures. Children are welcome on suitable departures. Please include each child’s age and any child-seat requirements with your request so we can confirm the appropriate arrangement before travel.
The working route uses short viewpoint and shoreline walks. Tell us about mobility or accessibility needs when requesting the tour so we can confirm the most suitable stops and pace for the itinerary.
Morning temperature and visibility can change quickly. The guide may adjust the order or viewpoint when conditions affect comfort or access.
The order of stops may change because of weather, wildlife activity, traffic, road closures or Parks Canada conditions. Any change will aim to protect safety and preserve the best available experience.
A few more questions
No. The Day Tour is planned for a later start and does not promise sunrise.
Moraine Lake and Lake Louise are the main lake stops, with Morant’s Curve included in the sample route. Seasonal access and road conditions can affect the order.
Allow approximately 7–8 hours from the first pickup to the final return. Exact pickup and return times are confirmed for your selected date and may shift with traffic, weather and park access.
Time at each stop is planned around the route, pickup area and seasonal light. We’ll confirm the schedule before you book.
Meals, canoe rentals, attraction tickets, personal purchases and driver-host gratuities are not included unless expressly listed.
Third-party activities follow their own hours, availability, pricing and safety rules.
Shared tours include one bottle of water per guest; private tours include water and soft drinks. Both include a small snack, such as a biscuit or chocolate. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate are included too.
Please bring a meal for longer outings and any extra water or food you need. Tell us about dietary requirements when planning; the snack is a little extra, not a meal.
Mobile service can be weak or unavailable on mountain roads and at remote viewpoints. Washroom access varies by destination, season and opening hours.
Wildlife may be seen, but sightings are never guaranteed. Follow the driver-host’s pickup and safety instructions, keep a respectful distance and never approach or feed animals.
