Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies are home to some of the most iconic places in Canada. From glacier-fed lakes to scenic highways and waterfalls, these are the stops people travel across the world to see. Our tours are designed to get you there easily, without the stress of planning, parking, or access restrictions.
One of the most famous lakes in the Canadian Rockies, Moraine Lake is known for its bright blue water and the Valley of the Ten Peaks backdrop. Personal vehicles are no longer allowed. Visiting with a guided tour is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to experience Moraine Lake without the hassle.
Lake Louise is one of the most photographed places in Canada for a reason. The lake’s turquoise water, mountain setting, and year-round accessibility make it a must-see.
The Icefields Parkway is one of the most scenic drives in the world, connecting Banff and Jasper National Park. Along the route, you’ll pass glaciers, waterfalls, wildlife, and countless viewpoints.
A popular and accessible hike near Banff, Johnston Canyon takes you through a narrow limestone canyon with catwalks built into the rock. The trail leads to a series of waterfalls, making it a great option for all ages and experience levels.
Located in Yoho National Park, Emerald Lake stands out for its deep green colour and quieter setting compared to Banff’s busiest spots. It’s a great place for a relaxed walk, paddle, or simply taking in the view without the larger crowds.
Marble Canyon is a short but impressive walk through a deep limestone gorge with a series of narrow bridges crossing over rushing water below. It’s a quick stop with a big visual payoff and a different kind of landscape compared to the lakes.
One of the tallest waterfalls in Canada, Takakkaw Falls is a powerful sight, especially in late spring and early summer when water flow is at its peak. The short walk to the base makes it an easy and worthwhile stop.
From well-known landmarks to lesser-known viewpoints, there’s no shortage of places to explore in Banff and the surrounding parks. Our tours are built to show you the highlights while also giving you a more local, less crowded experience where possible.

We had the "BEST" day exploring the lakes. Just stunning!!! Breathtaking!!! Thanks must go to our awesome guide Austin for making it personal and so enjoyable.
There are so many tour companies in Banff to choose from—but I’d recommend Explore Banff 1000%! They arrived early for our pickup, answered a million questions, were super friendly, well-priced, and overall delivered a stellar experience!!
Excellent experience! Alysa was our guide and we couldn’t of asked for a better experience. From knowing all the best photo spots, to sharing her passion for the parks, we highly recommend and would do it all again!
Must do while in Banff! Our tour guide, Anikah, was spectacular! She was SO knowledgeable about the history of the locations, packed us warm drinks at Moraine, and was so well equipped with ponchos, blankets, snacks, and everything we needed. The van was super comfortable and so easy. If you’re thinking about taking this tour, we’d highly recommend. Highlight of our trip!
We stayed a week in Banff and took two tours with Explore Banff. We were very fortunate to have Brooke as our guide both times. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. The vehicles for the tours were clean and spacious. Overall, we had a wonderful time! I would absolutely take another tour with Explore Banff!
