Securing a shuttle reservation through Parks Canada is near impossible due to high demand and limited availability. However, as an approved guided hiking operator, we have privileged access to a very select number of seats on the Lake O’Hara shuttle, with a maximum of only 5 guests on our hiking tours. This allows our guests to bypass the standard reservation process and embark on an unforgettable adventure in this alpine paradise.
Our experienced guides will lead you on selected approved hikes in the area, unveiling the natural wonders and hidden gems that make Lake O'Hara truly special. Don't miss your chance to explore this remarkable region. Enquire today and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
IMPORTANT: Access to Lake O’Hara is managed through Parks Canada shuttle bus reservations. While we can reserve the shuttle on behalf of our clients, this is still difficult and spaces are extremely very limited. Please reach out with any questions and the dates you are interested in!

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!
