About This Experience
This is the tour we built for people who want to see the best of Banff in a single day — and do something you genuinely can't do on your own. The morning starts with a guided canoe on Two Jack Lake, where we bring our own canoes. There are no rental shops here, no crowds, just you, your group, and one of the most dramatic mountain backdrops in the Rockies.
After the paddle, we drive through the park to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. Your guide knows the timing, the parking tricks, and the viewpoints that most visitors miss. This isn't a bus tour with a megaphone — it's a curated day with a local who loves these mountains.

Questions About This Tour
Two Jack Lake offers an exclusive experience — there are no canoe rental services here, so the only way to paddle is with us. The lake is calmer, less crowded, and the Mount Rundle backdrop is absolutely stunning. It's a hidden gem that most visitors don't know about.
Lunch is not included but we schedule a break at a local café in Lake Louise village. This gives you flexibility to choose what you'd like. We also provide water and snacks throughout the day.
Access to Moraine Lake is managed by Parks Canada shuttle in peak season. We plan our timing around shuttle schedules and road access. If Moraine Lake is inaccessible, we substitute with an equally stunning alternative like Peyto Lake or Johnston Canyon.
Guest Reviews
"The three-lake tour was the highlight of our trip. Canoeing on Two Jack Lake was something we never would have found on our own — having the whole lake to ourselves was magical."
