Lake Louise

Emerald water, the Victoria Glacier, and centuries-old larches — the postcard of the Canadian Rockies.

Lake Louise parking can be unpredictable and fills quickly. Avoid the parking dissapointment with a guaranteed shuttle seat through Rainbow Rockies.

A calm day at one of the world's most photographed lakes.

Skip parking-lot traffic and arrive relaxed. Our Lake Louise shuttle drops you steps from the Fairmont Chateau, with time to walk the shoreline, sip a coffee, or hike toward the Plain of Six Glaciers.

Rated 4.9 / 5 by many happy travelers

Rainbow Rockies is an exceptional shuttle service. Kam was a fantastic tour guide! We'd highly recommend this company as your first choice to Lake Moraine and Lake Louise.

Mon compagnon et moi avons réserver notre transport avec rainbow rockies. Tout était super ! On nous a arrangé pour que l'on puisse faire la randonnée que l'on souhaitais même si elle prenait plus de temps que le temps prévu sur place. Que ça soit au lac Louise ou Moraine on nous a indiqué les bons spots, fait des photos etc. Je recommande vivement

I’d start and end my search for shuttle service here. Our family had an amazing experience with Rainbow Rockies and intend to use them in the future. As an independent business the level of caring, patience and desire to ensure each customer has a five star experience truly stood out!

Booking the Lake Louise and Moraine Lake sunrise tour was the best decision we made for our trip, and our guide, Cam, made it absolutely exceptional! Waking up early can be tough, but Cam brought fantastic energy, great humor, and seamless organization right from the start. She knew exactly where to navigate to get us the absolute best viewing spots before the crowds arrived. Beyond being incredibly knowledgeable about the area's history and geology, Cam went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, happy, and getting the perfect photos. If you're planning this tour, do yourself a favor and ask for Cam! 10/10 recommendation.

The sunrise tour to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise by Rainbow Rockies exceeded all my expectations. The guide, Cam, was amazing, very attentive, and shared many interesting facts about the local area. Special thanks for the stop on the way back at the place where the train moves like a snake. The view was stunning. Thank you so much.

Visiting during larch season?

Larch season is one of the most popular times to visit Lake Louise, especially on September weekends. Golden larches typically appear from mid-to-late September into early October, but timing can change from year to year.

If you’re planning a fall visit, arrange your transportation ahead of time and check current conditions before you go.

Scheduled or private?

Our scheduled shuttles follow set departures and itineraries to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. Need something more flexible? Private transportation gives families and groups more flexibility to request preferred timing, destinations and stops, subject to availability.

Everything you need to know before you book.

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Give us a call — we’re happy to help.

Definitely. Our Two Lake Shuttle covers both on daily rides, so you don’t have to choose between Lake Louise’s turquoise water and Moraine Lake’s Valley of the Ten Peaks views.

Yes. We offer wheelchair seating for up to two wheelchair users per trip, including Lake Louise. If you use a wheelchair, select the wheelchair ticket option when booking.

Need to change your date, time or group size? Just give us at least 48 hours’ notice and we’ll do our best to make it work. This aligns the page with the standardized scheduled-service policy.

Layered clothing, sunglasses, and a full water bottle are musts. If you’re planning to walk the lakeshore trail or hike up to the Lake Agnes Tea House, comfortable shoes are a good call too.
