Night Adventure with Possible Stargazing and Aurora Chasing

An exclusive Night Adventure tour with possible stargazing and Aurora chasing at Moraine Lake. Starting from Canmore or Banff, this 4.5–5-hour private tour brings you to Moraine Lake after dark. Our knowledgeable guides share stories and facts about the night sky: whether it’s stargazing, chasing the Northern Lights, or simply experiencing the magic of the mountains after dark. Every night is different and full of possibilities. We were the first to offer stargazing at Moraine Lake. We pick you up and drop you off at your accommodation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What You Need to Know Before You Book

  • How long is the Moraine Lake Night Adventure?

    The tour runs approximately 4.5 to 5 hours, with 1.5 to 2 hours spent at Moraine Lake.



  • Will I see the Northern Lights?

    Stars and Aurora Borealis are never guaranteed. Aurora activity depends on solar conditions and cloud cover. Our guides monitor forecasts and choose the best setup locations, but every night sky is different.

    Dress warmly in layers. Mountain nights are cold year-round, even in summer. We provide blankets for extra warmth, but a warm jacket, hat, and gloves are recommended.
