Moraine Lake Night Adventure

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.
