We would do it again - We were not sure about visiting those two lakes because we want to avoid the crowds. But we are really happy that we did the sunrise tour with Claire. She Was an amazing host and driver and gave US many Tips to avoid the crowds and take good photos. She also gave us some recommendations for the next days what to do on our next stops. We had a wonderful morning with a lot of great moments. We would do it again.

Well worth the early rise - My husband and I did the Sunrise tour with Claire and it exceeded our expectations. Claire was a wonderful guide - very safe driver and shred tidbits about the areas we visited and could see on our drive. She gave tips on how to get away from crowds and options depending on ability and timing. She gave extensive recommendations about what to do during our stay which enhanced our time in Banff. The hot beverages, pack with headlight, cushion, and blanket were nice touches, as was the chocolate treat at the end of the trip. I would highly recommend the tour and Claire as a guide.

Majestic Sunrise Lights at Lake Moraine and Lake Louise - Claire was our guide and was promptly waiting for us at 4:20 am from Canmore. I shared that I had motion sickness and she kindly honored my request to sit towards the front. I asked her for tips on must sees for the remaining next two days and appreciated her guidance and was able to fit in Grassi Lake and Peyto Lake on our own. The drive was very smooth that I fell asleep. Her tips at Moraine Lake were succinct and easy to follow and was able to see the sunrise light hit Mt. Temple and then transition over to see the sunrise light hit the tips of the mountain reflected in the lake. Appreciated the tips on going down a bit further to see unobstructed views of the lake. My sister and I also went down to the lakeshore to see folks kayaking. Such breathtaking views. My friends and I took it easy at Lake Louise and with Claire’s tips walked a tad further from the platform and found a picnic spot and enjoyed our onigiris. We also grabbed coffee from the Fairmont. There are a few hike options but we decided to just enjoy the lake with the 90 or so minutes we had from a comfortable bench. The drive back was smooth and enjoyed our conversations with Claire.

Amazing, unforgettable tour to Banff! - This tour will be the highlight of your vacation. Janet at the Canmore Visitors Center recommended this company as an easy, seamless way to experience Banff. Our guide Claire was friendly and professional…she was also a skilled, safe van driver. Moraine Lake at sunrise will take your breath away, and Into the Wild has thought of everything to enhance your adventure. Thanks to Janet for the recommendation, wish I could give Claire more than five stars!

Awesome Tour - It was an awesome tour and our guide Claire was awesome. She helped with where to go and get the best pics but all provided details about the history of the area and what hikes we could do. We had a perfect day to see the sunrise in lake Morraine. We got blankets, coffee and hot chocolate that made the experience even better.

GREAT CHOICE - It 'was a really nice experience! The trip was very quiet and as soon as we arrived at Lake Moraine we were offered hot chocolate, coffee, tea blankets and headlamps. The views were wonderful and the photos do not make the beauty of the place. Wendzy, our Guide, was really very kind, friendly and provided us with great advice for the rest of our stay. Again Thank you Wendzy!
