Hit the open water this summer at  Lake Minnewanka! Feel the fresh mountain air, watch for wildlife and get adventurous on Banff's largest lake. Choose from one of our acclaimed cruises and explore under the lead of a knowledgeable guide on a heated, covered boat.

Lake Minnewanka lies in the heart of the Canadian Rockies just 15 minutes from the centre of Banff. Enjoy a magnificent cruise, which consists of a 1 hour interpretive tour of the lake and surrounding area. Our experienced crew will guide you through this rugged paradise richly steeped in history, native folklore and geology. The highlight of the tour is the Devil's Gap; a glacial path carved through Lake Minnewanka from the foothills of the Rockies. Or if enjoying a bevvie is more your style, check out the Beer Voyagge. Try a tasty selection of local craft beer with friends and family while onboard our lake cruise, and enjoy a special take-home gift.
