Quick Overview

Destination:
Type:

WowBanff operates an open-top shuttle service to both Moraine Lake and Lake Louise daily. So this is the ideal tour to sit outside and breathe in the fresh mountain air as you travel to the lakes. On the bus, a knowledgeable host will give you insights about the area. Once at the lakes, you are on your own and can take as much time as you want. Just make sure to pay attention to the bus departure times.

From Lake Louise, there’s a shuttle every 45 minutes to Moraine Lake. Every 45 minutes, there’s a shuttle from Moraine Lake that goes back to the parking area at the Lake Louise Ski Resort/Summer Gondola. Riders can board any shuttle they like from Lake Louise to Moraine Lake & from Moraine Lake back to the ski resort.

This is the ideal tour if you want some information on the drive to the lakes but also want to have your own free time around Moraine Lake and Lake Louise, not be on a scheduled tour with a guide walking you around the lakes.

What Makes WowBanff Unique?

  • WowBanff is the only open-top shuttle that goes to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise in one day.
  • You can purchase walk-up tickets if space is available, but during high season, these seats sell out.
  • Allows a flexible schedule for hiking at Lake Louise and/or Moraine Lake.

Note: You must check in at the Lake Louise Park & Ride (Wow Banff Booth) before your scheduled departure time. This is where you can also park. Note that the Lake Louise Park & Ride lot is large, so you must leave enough time to walk to the Wow Banff Booth and check in. We recommend arriving to park 25 minutes before your scheduled departure time.
