Awkward interaction with Travis right before we departed the tour demanding for tip money, we had given him $60 already but he insisted we owed $15 more so when he requested the money through his app he authorized $20 instead. Still sent it but other than that, the destinations were Gorgeous! Definitely enough time at each spot.

I enjoyed the trip and Travis shared interesting facts along the way. Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting this trip.

Really recommend this trip, the extended time at Emerald Lake was appreciated and gave us plenty of time to canoe, walk around and have lunch. Our guide and driver, Travis, was brilliant. He was informative and funny and went out of his way to make everyone had a great day. Thank you!

This wonderfully cheerful little rustic gift shop has all the sweet souvenirs of all the shapes, textures, colours & sizes you'd ever want to take back home with you as a marker of your Canadian Rockies adventures! Staff was particularly warm & welcoming. They even let me take pictures of the shop as well as looking out onto the lake from the canoe rental they also operate ☀️

It was a long wait as we visited during Canada day long weekend, however this is the cheapest compared to Canoe rentals at Lake Moraine or Lake Louise. Paid $100 for an hour and it's absolutely worth it. You get different views on each side of the lake. The lady at the counter was very calm and patient and answered all our questions. The staff helped us with the instructions as we were canoeing for the first time. If you are at Emerald lake, don't miss this experience.

A great shop filled with amazing gifts, shirts, magnets and so much more (in pictures). The employees were super nice. The shop is small but very spacious to find what you're looking for. It worth dropping by as this store is the only gift store in the area.

A must-do if you’re visiting Emerald Lake! Canoeing on that beautiful blue water is such a peaceful and fun experience. If you’re lucky, you might even spot some wildlife—we were lucky enough to see a black bear while we were out on the water. Definitely a highlight of the trip!

This was the best $100 we spend so far on this trip. Lake Emerald has fabulous views with incredibly blue-green water. Canoeing experience was fantastic, staff is very friendly, an hour is sufficient to go around the lake. The little gift shop has interesting gifts to purchase. Highly recommended!!
