Spend a serene evening under the stars with Canmore Travel Corp.’s night adventure. Enjoy cozy comfort, telescope views, and the thrill of a possible Northern Lights sighting in the Canadian Rockies.
Canmore Travel Corp. is a Canmore-based operator specializing in guided day and night experiences in the Canadian Rockies and Banff National Park. The company offers four core adventures: extended sightseeing at Moraine Lake and Lake Louise with extra time for hiking, canoeing and wildlife viewing; an 8 AM Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Morning Tour with VIP access and expert guides; a Sunset Glow tour at Moraine Lake and Lake Louise designed for tranquil evening panoramas and wildlife spotting; and a two-hour Night Adventure focused on stargazing and aurora chasing with a telescope, cozy seating and hot chocolate.
Each experience is guided by local professionals familiar with the region's access logistics, wildlife corridors and seasonal conditions. The Morning Tour includes early departure time for quieter lakeside access and may include a leisurely breakfast stop. The extended sightseeing day allows more time for hikes and canoe rentals where available. The Sunset Glow tour schedules visits to avoid peak crowds and maximize sunset reflections on the turquoise lakes. The Night Adventure visits hidden viewing locations selected for low light pollution and potential Northern Lights visibility.
Canmore Travel Corp. emphasizes guest safety, adherence to park regulations, and wildlife awareness while offering memorable photography, canoeing and hiking opportunities. Booking details, availability and exact itineraries vary by season; interested travelers should reference the operator's trip pages for current schedules, departure points, and any pre-trip requirements.
Safety briefings, park permits when required, and responsible wildlife viewing guidance are provided on every relevant trip, plus multilingual local guides.
