Banff National Park
  • 2h
Your adventure takes place in the heart of Banff National Park, with guaranteed stops at two of the most iconic and in-demand locations in Canada: Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. But that’s just the beginning. This isn’t a scripted, cookie-cutter tour. This is where the Radventures magic comes in — we throw away the script and build the day around you. Your local guide draws on deep insider knowledge to choose the best route and secret stops based on: Recent wildlife sightings, your group’s interests, vibe, and energy, and timing and conditions that day. This means no two tours are ever the same. Whether it’s a secluded canyon, a peaceful lookout, or a backroad that wildlife hang out but most visitors miss, we’ll take you where the experience will be most memorable — not just where the guidebooks say to go.
Lake Louise
  • 2h
Lake Louise has been drawing in visitors to the Canadian Rockies for over a century, and for good reason. This famous alpine lake in Banff National Park is an unbelievable turquoise blue colour, fed by glacier melt and set to a backdrop of Mount Victoria and hanging glaciers. As our guest on this small group tour, you’ll not only get guaranteed & expedited entry to the stunning Lake Louise, saving you the stress of waiting in long lines for crowded buses or having to arrive before 3am to get a parking spot, but also a tailored itinerary from your expert local guide based on your preferences. Don't get fooled into a shorter stop! At Lake Louise, you will want 1.5-2 hours to explore the lakeside trails, rent a canoe, explore the Chateau Lake Louise or simply hang out under a tree and watch the world go by! Your expert local guide will be on hand to give you all the information you need and show you where our local secret spots are, perfect for photos and away from the crowds.
Moraine Lake
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
This glacier-fed lake becomes the most intense and vivid shade of turquoise blue in the summer months meaning you'll likely end up pinching yourself to see if you're dreaming. Now closed to public vehicle access, Moraine Lake is rightfully at the top of everyones Banff bucket list after becoming the number 1 destination in the Canadian Rockies in recent years. With strict visitation restrictions in place since 2023, joining this small group tour is the best way to guarantee your stress-free visit to Moraine Lake. Don't get fooled into a shorter stop! At Moraine Lake, you will want 1.5-2 hours to explore the lakeside trails, rent a canoe or enjoy a picnic lunch in one of our secret spots.

Bow Valley Parkway
  • 15m
If times allow we will drive down the Bow Valley Parkway with potential tailor-made stop/route: A relaxing and scenic drive through forested valleys and wildlife corridors. Great for spotting wildlife and taking in uninterrupted views of Castle Mountain and Storm Mountain, all whilst avoiding the traffic of the Trans Canada Highway. *Not a guaranteed route/stop.*
Morant's Curve
  • 15m
If time allow we will make a stop at the famous Morant's Curve. A classic Canadian Rockies scene straight from a postcard. Morant’s Curve offers a stunning bend in the Bow River with the backdrop of towering peaks — and if we’re lucky, a train rolling through for the ultimate shot. *Not a guaranteed stop.*
Castle Cliff Viewpoint
  • 15m
If time allows, we’ll pause at Castle Cliff Viewpoint or Moose Meadows, peaceful and scenic spots nestled along the Bow Valley Parkway. Castle Cliff Viewpoint offers a short walk to a small viewing platform with breathtaking vistas of Castle Mountain’s rugged cliffs. It’s a quiet roadside stop with a tranquil forest setting, ideal for soaking in the scenery and spotting wildlife.
