I went on this cruise multiple times in the past 10 years but my recent visit has been my favourite so far! Melissa and Mackenzie were beyond AMAZING. They were super super fun and knowledgeable and the tour was very informative and interactive.
Due to high traffic expected this weekend, we recommend taking Roam Transit Route 6 to get to Lake Minnewanka from downtown Banff. All cruise guests get a free round-trip ticket by showing their same-day tour ticket to the bus driver.
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. Or set your own course with a kayak, canoe or motorboat rental.
Back on the shore, stop by the Black Anchor Snack Shop for a picnic lunch. It just feels like summer out here!
By public transportation: Catch a free ride on Roam Transit's Route 6* to Lake Minnewanka when you show your pre-booked cruise ticket. Learn More
By car: Please arrive at least two hours prior to your cruise time to ensure you find a parking spot and have time to explore the area from the shore.

The tour guides, Will & Matt made the "booze" cruise so much fun. Their stories were perfectly timed and the banter between them was just enough to have us all in stitches! The beer selection was amazing and the bread! Yumm! Definitely will recommend to all my friends!
Went on the tour the morning of my birthday, and it was absolutely incredible. They shared some great stories about the area, while providing such a great view. Highly recommend to anyone who's in the area, it was wonderful.
Went on the one hour cruise as a family of 4. It was absolutely beautiful and the tour guides were awesome! My son's loved all of the information and stories. I would highly recommend going and I would even go again in the future.
The view was beautiful as it's been every time we have visited before, and the social distancing procedures didn't hinder the experience in any way but were still safe and effective.
