What to expect

Your 60-minute cruise on the lake starts at the dock just a short 10-minute drive from the town of Banff. Once you've boarded the boat, you will immediately be treated to beautiful views of the mountains and clear sights of the brightly hued lake.

Once you leave the dock, your guide will share information about the history of Lake Minnewanka. Including the story of Minnewanka Landing, a settlement submerged when the lake was dammed in the 20th century. You will also learn about the Indigenous peoples who have inhabited the surrounding area for thousands of years, and their cultural significance to the region.

As you move deeper into the mountains, scan the skies for bald eagles hunting for fish or for black bear known to forage along the lake shore. Eventually, you will come to Devil's Gap, where you will pause for photos as you absorb the awesome scenery.

During the busiest part of the summer, boats depart every thirty minutes. During off-peak hours, boats depart every hour during the day.
