Overview

See a whole new side of Moraine Lake—peaceful, uncrowded, and lit by the beauty of sunset and the stars. This evening adventure takes you beyond the typical daytime experience, combining stunning landscapes, wildlife viewing, and one of the best stargazing spots in Banff National Park.

Your journey begins along the Bow Valley Parkway, with chances of spotting wildlife, and a stop at Morant’s Curve. Take a guided walk along the lakeshore trail and soak in the quiet beauty of the lake as the surrounding peaks glow in warm sunset colours. Then, we’ll make our way up to the rockpile for the best panoramic views as the sky transitions from day to night.

With minimal light pollution, Moraine Lake offers incredible stargazing. We’ll use telescopes and binoculars to get a closer look at planets, constellations, and even the northern lights if conditions are right.

If you want to escape the crowds and enjoy Moraine Lake in a way most visitors never do, this tour is for you.

Activity itinerary

Banff National Park (Pass by)

Step away from the crowds and into the wild with our Moraine Lake Sunset & Stargazing Tour, a truly magical evening experience in Banff National Park. This tour offers a chance to experience Moraine Lake beyond the usual daytime rush, in a setting that’s peaceful, immersive, and truly unique. From wildlife sightings and sunset photography to exploring the vast night sky, this is an evening adventure designed for those who want to see a different side of the Rockies.

Bow Valley Parkway (Pass by)

This adventure begins with a scenic drive along the Bow Valley Parkway, a prime wildlife corridor where we may spot elk, deer, or even bears as they emerge in the cooler hours of the evening.

Morant's Curve

  • 15m
Along the way, we’ll stop at Morant’s Curve, an iconic photography spot where the winding railway meets the towering peaks—a perfect opportunity to capture the golden light before sunset.

Moraine Lake

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Upon arriving at Moraine Lake, you’ll have time to take in the changing colours as the sun sets behind the Valley of the Ten Peaks. A short guided walk along the lakeshore will allow you to fully appreciate the peacefulness of the area at this time of day, when most of the daytime crowds have cleared out. After the walk, we’ll head up to the rockpile, the best vantage point for watching the sunset. Here, you can relax with a hot drink, enjoy the quiet atmosphere, and watch as the lake transitions from vibrant blue to deep twilight hues. As night falls, we’ll turn our focus to the night sky. With minimal light pollution, this is one of the best places in Banff National Park for stargazing. We’ll use telescopes and binoculars to get a closer look at distant planets, constellations, and, if conditions allow, the northern lights. Whether you’re a first-time stargazer or an astronomy enthusiast, the sheer number of visible stars will leave a lasting impression.
