    Amazing experience!
    We were driven to and from Lake Moraine by Gavin and he was great! Buses were also punctual, comfortable and the music playlist is 10/10. Overall would highly recommend for your next trip to Lake Moraine and or Lake Louise :)

    Awesome Trip!
    Lynda was a great bus driver, she was very friendly & gave us a lot of good information. We were on an early bus & lucky because it had snowed & they were not allowing the big buses to go up, but we could! We got to enjoy the lake before it got too crowded! Definitely recommend this company!

    Great company!
    While booking me and my boyfriend's trip to Alberta, I found a very reasonable priced company for the shuttle. Compared to other shuttles I really liked how easy it was to book through them. They were very professional and punctual. The workers were very nice and were even able to accommodate us wanting to leave early (no guarantee each time). The bus inside was comfortable and clean, no issues getting in or out. I would recommend this shuttle company for anyone who is going to Lake Moraine.

    Locally-Owned, Top Service
    You can't go wrong sticking with this locally-owned, family business. Ditch the megabus companies. MLBC has smaller rental car shuttle type vans, much nicer than the 50-person buses. Drivers are very friendly and knowledgeable. We ran into a schedule issue, and one of the owners personally solved it for us, validating our choice to go locally owned.

    Mitch is the best!!
    We were lucky enough to have Mitch as our bus driver on the way down. He bought the energy and some great facts! We were impressed by the company as a whole and how they really seem to care about their staff and the local community.

    Great way to see 2 amazing lakes without a car
    Fantastic! I came upon this opportunity late in my planning process and it allowed us to stay in LL village (Fairmont too expensive just to wake up to a view!) and get to the lake easily for an hour. Also getting to Moraine Lake was an added bonus as private cars can’t access and it’s even more beautiful really than Louise! Mitch was a great guide and driver and so helpful in assisting us to our next stop, the LL gondola. Kudos to this company and I hope you continue to do well.

    Reliable Ride
    The only way to get to Marine Lake is by bus. We came across Marine Lake Bus company and since it got good reviews, we decided to book a few months in advance. The e-mail communication and reminders were fantastic. The instructions were clear on where to meet. Ollie was our driver both ways. He was friendly and gave us suggestions on where to hike when we arrived. We didn't need as much time as we thought because the hike we were going to do (Sentinel Pass) was closed because of snow. Ollie told us if we wanted to come back early we could as long as there was room. And we were able to do that. The buses are smaller and only hold about 20-30 people so nice you are not crammed into a big bus. We even saw a black bear on the side of the road on our way back. Ollie stopped so we could take photos. That was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend if you are going to Marine Lake.

    Great experience with Moraine Bus company
    The weather turned really bad but still the views were nice. Special thanks to the coordinator Jill for coming to our rescue and bringing us all to the lake Louise Gondola parking . All in all a very good experience with Moraine Bus company.

    Would use this service again
    Miki did a great job for us. She was kind and on time. We were able to catch an earlier return, which was great! Price is a bit more (nothing crazy) than the Parks Canada shuttle but smaller busses and less people. Part of our group had Parks Canada shuttle so it worked out for all of us to return at the same time. Would recommend and use again.

The second trip was the same day to Lake Louise we had a return at 4:30 am but it was not good weather we rescheduled the return time to 2:30 online without problem. The drivers were very friendly and helpful. Thanks for the good service. Kind regards Rudolf and Joel

We used moraine lake bus company to shuttle too and from Lake Louise today. Andrew our driver was 10/10, super friendly, gave great recommendations for the local area, had the heater on nice and toasty - made our day out to Lake Louise even better. The moraine lake bus is a more expensive option than the usual BC parks shuttle but would recommend paying the extra just to sit in with Andrew for the 10 minutes there and back 😂

We went to Louise lake and Moraine lake with this company in August 2023. We were charged for both lakes but we got chance to see only one lake which was Louise lake .for Moraine lake, we had only 25 minutes for going around which at least it needs one hour to do activities and going up the rocks and see the view . We mentioned it to driver but he just suggested to not to do all parts and just go up rocks and see the view . We even couldn’t do that part and had to back to the bus . We emailed to customer service about issue but they didn’t reply at all. Terrible customer service . Try other company that give you right service especially when they charge you for what they are supposed to do.

We booked the bus to Lake Louise from the Lake Louise Ski Resort ‘Park and Ride’, which is a little way out of the town of Lake Louise. Lake Louise itself sits above the town and we decided to get the park and ride due to the busy car park. Glad we did the park and ride with Lake Morraine Bus Company. It was a very efficient service. The drivers (Ollie and Emma) were very friendly and knowledgeable and told us about the area. They drove very well, safely and responsibly. We decided to stay for 2.5hrs which was enough time to walk to the end of the lake and back again with time to spare to sit and relax. You need to tell them the start and pick up time in advance as seats get booked up. The Lake is a busy place at times so be prepared to wait to find a car park space if you drive your car there. (Parking is expensive.). Otherwise, I would definitely recommend The Lake Morraine Bus Company. It takes the hassle out of driving there and finding a car park space. Prices were fair compared with other companies in the area, but it is a captive market so nothing is cheap in the area. We spent £77 for two people to use the park and ride service. I would definitely recommend this company.

We booked quite late for Lake Louise/Moraine Lake so had more limited options. I advise you assess all options and book early as we thought this company were quite expensive. They picked up at the Lake Louise ski resort, the same place that Parks Canada uses along with other companies. You only get 1 hour at Lake Louise which we felt was too shirt, especially if you want to get away from the hoardes of visitors. You can choose the return time from Lake Moraine. The staff were all great, friendly and helpful. It was a decent option but price and time at Lake Louise were small issues.

The Moraine Lake Bus Co was an efficient and friendly way for us to get to see Moraine Lake — to which you cannot drive a private car at all. This was our first trip to the Banff region and we found out too late about that restriction to book the less expensive parks Canada bus from the town of Banff. But we were glad of that. Because we had the flexibility of having out car nearby when were done at Lake Moraine and were able to drive to another site and activity. Also, the drivers were friendly and informative.

We were referred by our hotel in Banff and were very thankful for the seamless process from booking to arrival at Lake Louise Ski Lodge to the ride up and back. I appreciated that the Moraine Lake Bus Company had smaller shuttle busses rather than the large ones some of the other companies had. Our drivers Linda and Shawn were very knowledgeable giving us a verbal tour on the way to and from Lake Moriane. I would recommend this company any opportunity I have. Thank you.

They charged me $170 per person which is way more than it says on the site and much more than such a short bus ride is worth. They are definitely taking advantage of the situation of not being able to drive in for sunrise. Be careful about the price when booking !

Mika dropped us off early in the morning and talked about the scenery and Moraine on the way. She kept everyone engaged and encouraged questions to make everyone feel excited about their time at Moraine. She’s also funny! Magnus drove us back and was so sweet and kind and clearly has so much love for the area. Thank you for an awesome day!

Went for the sunrise 4am bus! Although the clouds blocked the sunrise it was still a wonderful, peaceful and beautiful experience made easy and seamless with Moraine Lake Bus Co. Thank you for being wonderful! The peaceful music on the 4am bus is a beautiful touch :)
