Moraine Lake & Lake Louise Tours from Banff & Canmore

An unforgettable sunrise experience — thank you, Tess! We booked the Via Via Moraine Lake Shuttle for Sunday, July 12th, and it exceeded every expectation. We left Dead Man's Flats around 2am to make it to Lake Louise by 4am, and the early wake-up was more than worth it. The hot cocoa and warm blankets provided on the drive were an absolute lifesaver at that hour — such a thoughtful touch that made the early start so much more comfortable. Watching the sunrise over Moraine Lake was surreal — the stillness, the crisp mountain air, the quiet before the crowds arrived. It's the kind of moment that stays with you. Our guide Tess made the whole trip. Her knowledge of the area, genuine enthusiasm, and the extra "secret spot" she took us to added a layer to the experience we never could have found on our own. She was warm, informative, and clearly loves what she does — it showed in every part of the tour. If you're debating whether the early start is worth it, it absolutely is. And if you're lucky enough to have Tess as your guide, you're in for something special. Highly recommend this shuttle to anyone wanting to experience Moraine Lake and Lake Louise at their most magical. Read more

We booked two trips with Via Via. One day to explore Lake Louise and one day to explore Moraine Lake. For Moraine Lake, our driver was Scotty, and once again he was more than a driver. He was a tour guide. Scotty provided in-depth information along the way and pointed out areas of interest. He made a point to engage all of the folks on the bus so he knew what they wanted to get out of their day. He provided wonderful tips on how to get the most out of your time at Moraine Lake, which trails to take and how much time each different trail would take so you could best plan your time I highly recommend the Via Via team. via Via and their tram made sure that our days at Lake Louise and Moraine Lake were days we won’t forget. With Via Via, you are sure to have an incredible experience Read more

We had the BEST day! Even though it was an early start for sunrise at Moraine Lake, our 8yr old was a trooper and LOVED it! Highly recommend extending time at Lake Louise. We had time to hike to Mirror Lake, Lake Agnes Tea House, Little Beehive, the Lake Louise loop and have lunch on the patio at the Fairmont. Lake Louise is magical and this tour with extended stay was perfect for us. I ended up booking this travel company because I was confused as to how to get a parks pass and parking and whatnot - Via Via made our trip so much easier. Highly recommend - Simmi and Martin were great! Read more

Josh, our guide, was amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and professional throughout the entire trip. He took us to the perfect photo spots and even took beautiful pictures for us. He made the experience fun, informative, and stress-free. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Josh as your guide!

My wife and I went on the Moraine Lake and Lake Louise morning tour with VIAVIA. Kale was a great driver and even better guide. Their pick up schedule was super punctual and communication from reservation to pick up was top notch. It was well worth the money to not have to worry about parking at the lakes and going super early to even get into the lakes. Kale was great about giving us and the entire group suggestions on what to do at each lake for the time allotted. Van fleet was new and very clean. Highly recommend VIAVIA and especially Kale for your lake excursions while in Banff area. Read more

I I booked the Lake Moraine Sunrise Tour, and it was so good! Our driver, Jake, was very friendly and thoughtful. They provided blankets, hot drinks, and snacks for everyone, which kept us warm while we waited for sunrise. It made the whole experience much more comfortable. Highly recommend! And the lake moraine is so beautiful, I went twice during my 6 days trips here!

I was impressed at how well Via Via was able to adjust plans for me at the last minute to ensure I had a great trip with them. Our tour guide Gerard was perfectly on time, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to meet. I’d definitely do it again!

Amazing experience! We did the Sunrise Moraine Lake/Lake Louise tour. All the details were setup and it was a wonderful experience. From blankets and hot drinks, to knowledgeable guides who checked in on us throughout the experience to be sure we did not need anything, to pointing out the best spots to be for our goals! Even a little wildlife sighting and lots of information. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Kieran took us out to Moraine Lake and Kale brought us back. Both were absolutely amazing bringing great vibes for such an early pickup. They were the perfect guides! The tour itself is 100% worth it. Seeing the lake at sunrise is breathtaking. Even on a foggy day like we had I would do it all over again. It gives you the best chance to see the beauty of the lake before the crowds arrive. The coffee and blankets Via Via provided were such a nice added touch. And for those who like to hike having the option for a later departure time was perfect! After sunrise we were able to take a hike out to Constellation Lakes. And be on the trails before they got too crowded. Would recommend Via Via 10/10! Read more
