Overview

Explore the awe-inspiring beauty of Banff National Park and the legendary Icefields Parkway on a small-group guided tour from Calgary, Canmore, or Banff. Discover glacier-fed lakes, dramatic mountain vistas, and secret scenic gems—all with a professional guide and panoramic transport.

After pickup from your selected location, travel along the Trans-Canada Highway and the Bow Valley Parkway. First stop: the iconic Morant’s Curve, where railway tracks wind through postcard-perfect mountain scenery.

Then head to Lake Louise, one of the world’s most photographed alpine lakes. Marvel at its vivid turquoise waters, stroll along the shoreline, and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and the majestic Victoria Glacier reflected in the lake’s surface. This iconic destination offers a serene and unforgettable moment in the heart of the Rockies.

The journey continues north along the Icefields Parkway—considered one of the most beautiful drives on Earth. Explore Mistaya Canyon, a less-crowded alternative to Johnston Canyon, featuring dramatic limestone cliffs and a thunderous glacial river. This peaceful yet powerful setting is often a hidden favorite for nature lovers.

Then stop at the elevated viewing area of Peyto Lake, famous for its wolf-head shape and bright aqua color. Finally, visit Bow Lake, framed by glaciers and Crowfoot Mountain.

This immersive day tour is ideal for travelers who want to fully experience the Icefields Parkway without rushing or crowds.
