The walk was amazing! - The walk was amazing! Although you have to wake up very early, it's super worth it. It was raining during the journey and it remained until just before sunrise. Our guide provided us coffee and hot chocolates. She also had raincoats, which were not enough for everyone, but there were raincoats to assist as well. She guided and accompanied us all the time. The time in each of the lakes was more than enough to walk and get to know each of them a bit. At Lake Louise we still had good time to make the little trail that allows us to see the lake and the hotel from above and was very worth it. I would definitely go again and recommend it to everyone. I went on June 20 and it was quite cold, but it was not snowing anymore, so I could see the lake unfrozen. If I could choose, I would only recommend going between July and August due to the weather.

Worth the early wake up call!!! - The tour guide was very informative and friendly. Given the early morning pickup to lake Morraine, it was nice to have someone very prepared and peppy. The coffee/hot chocolate was a great touch and of course, the blankets and lights. A great experience!

An AMAZING tour group for our family. - Our family of four, ( hubby, 12 yr old daughter, and 9 yr old son) had an AMAZING experience with Into the Wild Tours during the sunrise trip. Joel, our guide, was warm, informative, and so very helpful. ( I saw him being helpful not just to his own group but other tour operators, and visitors of Lake Louise and Lake Morraine.) We had an adventure on top of an adventure. The first big snowfall of the season hit the night before our tour. Joel got us to our spot safely and guided us through our time at Lake Morraine. When it was time to leave we learned there were accidents on the road and road closures so we had to sit and wait to leave. Joel was calm and kept us thoughtfully informed. When we made it to Lake Louise, his advice was helpful and allowed us to enjoy the remainder of the trip. I am so glad we booked a tour with this group. Thanks to Into the Wild, our family had an unbelievable adventure. Truly, a gem of a find.

Fun early morning adventure - We did the sunrise tour with Joel. What a fun and snowy morning! Despite the frigid temperatures and snow & ice, we all had a fun time. Joel was a great driver and tour guide. We appreciated the coffee, hot chocolate, headlamps, blankets, and walking sticks. Highly recommend this company! I was very concerned about the weather and the company ( Into the Wild) did an outstanding job communicating with me prior to the trip about how best to prepare.

Moraine Lake and Lake Louise. - This tour was AMAZING! Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and the view of Moraine Lake at Sunrise is spectacular! The opportunity to visit Moraine Lake and Lake Louise in the Canadian Rocky Mountains while letting someone else navigate the roads was such a joy. Perfect way to start our vacation.

Don’t Miss Out! - These lakes are stunning and not to be missed. Both sites get busy, but it was relaxing to be with a smaller group and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend!

A must do trip - This trip was definitely one of the highlights. Driver Nicolas was very knowledgeable and friendly. Despite an early morning pickup it was worth it to watch the sun come up. Blankets, headlamps and hot chocolate a bonus
