Traveler reviews
Beautiful Cruise Experience
Will and Hayden did an amazing job on our cruise! Very high energy, informative and engaging. Started on time, weather was great and they took us closer to see wild life on the boat. Great experience and a beautiful tip.
Fantastic
Fantastic cruise around the lake. Our guide Emma was incredibly knowledgeable and our boat driver Vic was fantastic. They do a moment where they turn off the engine in the middle of the lake so you can experience the quiet and this was beautiful.
Great way to see the beautiful mountains and lake
Our Captain Matt dnd tour guide John were great.
Beautiful Lake Minnewanka
Captain Pat and tour director, Hayden were fantastic. We were given oodles of information as well as a time of absolute quiet... engine off and no talking so we could experience the peaceful beauty of the Canadian Rockies.
Fun!
It's fun and relaxing. Might see some wildlife. The Captain, Pat, has good stories and information..
