Step into the darkness and embark on an unforgettable 4-hour stargazing tour at Lake Minnewanka, one of Banff National Park’s most spectacular night-sky destinations. Far from city lights, surrounded by towering peaks and untouched wilderness, you'll experience the tranquil beauty of the Rockies under a starlit canopy.

Your adventure begins with a brief, guided walk under the stars, where the crisp mountain air and peaceful silence set the scene for an extraordinary night. To help light your way and navigate the terrain with ease, headlamps and sturdy hiking poles are provided, ensuring a safe and comfortable stroll through the darkened trails. Along the journey, your guide will share Indigenous stories, astronomical insights, and fascinating tales about the constellations that have guided explorers for centuries.

As you settle in, a complimentary cup of hot chocolate or tea adds a touch of warmth to the experience, allowing you to relax and savour the quiet splendour of the Rockies. Cozy blankets and hand warmers are also provided, ensuring your comfort while marvelling at the night sky.

At the carefully selected stargazing spot, you’ll have access to a telescope and binoculars, bringing distant planets, star clusters, and galaxies into striking clarity. Far from city lights, the Rockies provide an unspoiled setting where the Milky Way stretches overhead, constellations take form, and—if conditions align—the aurora borealis paints vivid colours across the sky.
