Overview

Banff's only *Choose Your Own Adventure* tour! Your ticket lets you breeze past the traffic and parking lots to reach Johnston Canyon, Lake Louise Gondola, Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. You are guaranteed a seat on any bus at any time. Our onboard hosts will help you plan the best day with our set schedule and answer your questions.

Hop off at Johnston Canyon and hike up to the beautiful upper and lower falls, hop off and hike the Lake Agnes Teahouse or the breathtaking Plain of Six Glaciers Teahouse.

Cool Banff wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Banff over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
