The Icefields Parkway is undoubtedly a highlight of any summer trip to Banff National Park. However, the scenic highway is far removed from services and offers no public transit options. So, for those who visit the Canadian Rockies without a vehicle, we highly recommend hiring a knowledgeable guide to experience the parkway. This full-day tour with Beyond Banff takes you to some of the most beautiful lakes in the Canadian Rockies.

Moraine Lake In Evening Light

Along the way, you’ll get some gorgeous mountain views. It’s not the most active tour, so if you came looking to hit the trails, you may want to look elsewhere. However, it does stop at all the most photogenic and breathtaking viewpoints in the Rockies, including Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Peyto Lake. The stunning natural vistas are almost certain to astound anyone. They also have knowledgeable guides who happily answer questions and share insider tips. The tour offers pick-up from your hotel, rental, campground, or anywhere in Banff or Canmore.
