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!”

Fantastic experience! The reservations were easy and I loved that the return trip time could be adjusted. Our guide was the BEST! Good communication, visibility at pick up points, great staff, on time, clean nice buses.

Jenn A.

Check-in was a breeze, and our drivers were pleasant, funny, and helpful. We wanted to return a bit earlier than planned. Not a problem. Flexibility isn’t always a given, but it was a lovely touch that made our experience even better.

Greg M.

5/5 – Highly recommended alternative to Parks Canada shuttles! We weren’t able to get Parks Canada tickets, but these guys saved the day. Perfect for travelers without fixed schedules or those making last-minute plans.

Shania D.

100% worth the price. Hiked all day and arrived at our scheduled pick up time, zero issues. Zero complaints. Recommend to anyone who is traveling to Moraine Lake and does not want to stress about bus schedules.

Nate A.

We had the BEST day at Moraine Lake. The directions for parking and pickup were very easy to follow and use and there were bathrooms at the ski lodge parking so our early morning start was super smooth! We got done earlier than I anticipated but were able to catch an early return with no problem.
