What does the tour schedule look like?
Due to the changing sunset times over the course of the summer, we have staggered start times to ensure your visit aligns with the best times of the day for golden hour, sunset and dusk wildlife viewing.
Do I have enough time for significant hikes, say, to the Lake Louise teahouse?
Given the tour's timeline, reaching any of the Lake Louise tea houses is not possible if you plan on staying with the group tour from start to finish. If you want to use our tour to access the lakes and are happy to find your own way back to Banff, our team are happy to advise you of alternate options for returning to Banff later in the day.
