Frequently Asked Questions

Guaranteed Parking & Flexible Return

Can I visit both lakes in one day?

Absolutely! We have a package ticket with a prescheduled, day-long journey to both Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. It is a fixed itinerary, so your departure and return times aren’t as flexible as they are for the individual lake shuttle tickets.

Where do I park? What if the parking lot is full?

You’ve got nothing to worry about. Your shuttle ticket guarantees you convenient parking at your pick-up location. 

How long should I stay at the lake?

You can stay for an hour, an afternoon, or all day. It’s up to you. Our shuttles run throughout the day. Schedule your return whenever you want.

What if I want to stay at the lake longer after I get there?

Our shuttles run all day long. If you want a later ride back, just make sure to be at the pick-up point with plenty of time. If the shuttle has room, you can hop right on. Otherwise, there will be another one coming soon after.

Can I ride the Lake Louise Summer Gondola, too?

Not only can you experience the Lake Louise Gondola as part of your day, you get up to $15 off your ticket with your shuttle booking.

“Easy, On Time, and Exactly as Planned!”

The ease of this transportation as well as the friendly and informative drivers made my trip to Lake Louise such a stress free and enjoyable experience. Plenty of departure times to and from, and they provided so much information about trails.

This was our first visit to Banff and we didn’t realize how busy the place was and parking in Lake Louise was hard to come by. Save yourself the stress and catch a ride!

Becky R.

We really lucked out booking here. Our guide was fantastic with informative commentary and great recommendations. He helped us decide on hiking trails and local insight. Our day turned out WAY better than expected.

This company saved our butts! We didn’t know the parking at “Lake Louise” was an absolute DISASTER (ie completely full)! And our girls really wanted to see Lake Louise so we were ecstatic there was availability with this company.

Charity G.

This shuttle service was great! Easy parking at Lake Louise Gondola. We had plenty of time to do the hikes we wanted. We finished early and were able to get a ride back an hour earlier. It’s nice they offer that! Our drivers were very knowledgeable about the area & shared great info with us!
