Moraine Lake Sunrise Tour from Banff

One of Banff’s most iconic bucket list experiences!

Your sunrise tour begins with being picked at your hotel in Banff and a comfortable and scenic drive to Moraine Lake. With personal vehicle access now prohibited, this guided sunrise tour is the only stress-free way to experience Moraine Lake at its most magical hour.

You’ll arrive well before sunrise, giving you plenty of time to find the perfect vantage point and settle in as the sky begins to change. As the first light touches the Valley of the Ten Peaks, you’ll be treated to a fresh pastry and hot tea included in your tour. Wrapped in a cozy blanket, you can relax and fully absorb the quiet beauty of this extraordinary place.

Your knowledgeable local guide will share fascinating facts about Moraine Lake, its history, and the surrounding peaks, along with insider tips on the best photo spots to capture the iconic glowing mountain backdrop and turquoise waters. Umbrellas are also provided if the weather decides to add a little sprinkle to the morning.
