Via Via is a new shuttle company in town that operates sunrise shuttles to Moraine Lake from Canmore and Banff. This is not a tour but a shuttle that will transport you to Moraine Lake at sunrise.
They also offer Moraine Lake and Lake Louise combo tours from Banff and Canmore throughout the day. Their prices are quite competitive, starting at $99 for a sunrise shuttle, and fluctuate from there based on time and day of the week.
Another new experience by them is early morning pick up from Banff or Canmore, with a sunrise at Moraine Lake, followed by Lake Louise, and then a drive down the Bow Valley Parkway to look for wildlife.
Honestly, Via Via has it all and is one of the top shuttles if you don’t have a car and are staying in either of the two mountain towns.
What sets them apart?
- Unique service: They are among the only shuttles offering multiple daily departures from Canmore & Banff, while most other operators start from Lake Louise.
- Convenience: Enjoy comfortable shuttles and convenient schedules tailored from Canmore & Banff.
- Flexibility: Customize your journey with their flexible return options, ensuring you make the most of your time at the lakes (there are so many great hikes!)
Pick Up Locations
- Canmore: Solara, Malcolm Hotel, Canmore Inn & Suites, Canmore Rocky Mountain Inn, Canmore Visitor Centre
- Banff: Banff Train Station
