Highlights
  • Moraine Lake - Radventures top-rated sunrise experience at Moraine Lake should be at the top of everyone’s Banff bucket list.

Upon arrival, your expert local Radventures guide will hand out head torches, allowing you to safely navigate the trails on the way to the best viewpoint to get comfortable and take in the sunrise.

Breathe in the serenity as you enjoy a hot drink while you wait for the sun to start hitting the Valley of the Ten Peaks, with our complimentary hot chocolate, coffee & tea on offer upon arrival.

Our local expert guides have some pretty handy photography knowledge too, so they can help you get set up for that series of amazing photos you’re about to take.

We usually spend 1.5 hours here, plenty of time to enjoy the sunrise and explore some of the trails around the lake before all the big buses arrive.

  • Lake Louise - After our incredible Moraine Lake sunrise experience, it’s time to fuel up with a delicious hot breakfast & barista-made hot drink at Trailhead Cafe, our local favourite spot nestled in beautfiul Lake Louise Village.

To organize a hot breakfast for your tour, please contact Radventures BEFORE booking.

  • Lake Louise - Arrive at Lake Louise well before the big crowds start rolling in to make the most of the rising sun on Victoria Glacier and the stunning sunrise colors still working their way across the mountains and turquiose lake.

We usually spend 1.5-2 hours here, allowing for plenty of time to explore the amazing trail system or rent a canoe for a paddle on the lake when it’s at its calmest and most beautiful.

For guests wishing you extend their stay at Lake Louise to hike the trails or spend more time canoeing, you are welcome to find your own transportation back at the end of the tour. Just let us know before booking so we can make notes on our manifest.

Sunrise Tour - Lake Moraine/ Louise Lake - The sunrise over Lake Moraine is definitely worth the early start. The mountain peaks glowed a fiery red which reflected in the water. Photos were free of people as the crowds had not yet arrived. Lake Louise was also timed to beat the masses. The famous shot was taken with ease. Radventures were very efficient. Kudos to Kiwi Kale - a friendly guide who made sure everything ran efficiently, provided clear directions and his local knowledge was greatly appreciated.

Unbelievablely beautiful! - Highly highly recommend! The view is spectacular. We went on a partially clear morning and the peaks were glowing with the sunrise. I actually just ran into someone who was on my tour earlier this week and he went again this morning it was so amazing. Rae was our tour guide and she is incredible. Great energy and very knowledgeable.

One of our favorite experiences of our trip - We experienced our Radventures sunrise tour at Moraine Lake and mid morning visit to Lake Louise near Banff, Alberta Canada this morning. It was a gorgeous morning and the views are magical. The tour guide, Taylor Swift the Canada version, made it easy with an easy to get to spot in Banff, made sure there were hot drinks for those that needed them and gave all the helpful directions to where to be for the best spots. I definitely recommend this tour. For those with mobility limitations, getting to the top of the rock pile to at Moraine Lake requires walking up steep, uneven rock steps with no hand rail. The area by the conoes was more peaceful and the views were gorgeous.

Worth the 5:00 a.m. start time to experience sunrise at Moraine Lake, followed by a visit to Lake Louise.Louis - Despite the very early call to meet our guide and travel to Moraine Lake for sunrise it was so worth it! Despite a no-sun sunrise, the clouds and mist on around the lake and mountains, there was mystical feeling that only added to the lake's serenity and stunning beauty. There were quite a few people there but not in any way overwhelming. The lake waters were completely calm and still - perfect to reflect the surrounding mountains on the water. We were given a nice cup hot chocolate at Moraine Lake which was lovely and perfect for a crisp morning. Lake Louise was lovely but considerably more crowded despite an early morning arrival. As Lake Louise was crowded and the day overcast, our guide gave our group the option of leaving the lake a little early and driving the Bow River Parkway back to Banff. We unanimously elected to do so and had a beautiful drive back. Our wonderful guide, Conner, was absolutely delightful and fun and made the whole experience exceptional.
