Lake Minnewanka lies in the heart of the Canadian Rockies in Banff National Park. Minnewanka Lake Cruise provides a unique sightseeing tour experience on one of two 48 passenger Lake Cruisers or the 65 passenger Alberta Explorer operating several times daily from mid-May to mid-October.
You'll get to feel the fresh mountain air, watch out for wildlife and enjoy Banff's largest lake! You can choose from a variety of different cruises and explore under the lead of the knowledgeable guides on a heated and covered boat - perfect for whatever the weather! You can even bring your own kayak or canoe too.
The classic cruise is the most popular and you'll discover the story of Minnewanka Landing as your the oldest National Park. It lasts for around 1 hour and you'll get to explore Banff from a new perspective, with interpretive commentary throughout!
The junior explorer cruise is specially made for children under 12 and the family. It includes a treasure hunt, games, treats and more, with activities fo children too.
If you fancy a little longer on the lake, then there's the premium cruise which is 1.5 hours and you'll enjoy more time on the lake and stop to view Devil's Gap too.
