Getting to the Lake Minnewanka Cruise

The Lake Minnewanka Cruise is located at Lake Minnewanka, a 15 minute drive from the town site of Banff along the Minnewanka Loop Drive, in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.

Lake Minnewanka is one of Banff’s most popular destinations and the parking lot fills quickly. For the best experience, we recommend taking the Bow Valley Roam Transit from the Banff townsite to the lake. Visit Roam Transit for more information.

If you're driving please arrive at least 2 hours prior to your tour time to ensure you find a parking spot and you have time to explore area from the shore.
