Yoho National Park tours and vacation packages cover the British Columbia side of the Canadian Rockies — at 507 square miles, the smallest of the four contiguous mountain parks. Emerald Lake and the Natural Bridge sit 40 km west of Lake Louise, close enough that day trips from Calgary and Banff town return the same evening. Longer routes combine Yoho with Banff and Jasper. Most depart from Calgary or Banff town, with 4 to 10 day packages from Vancouver. Hotels, transport and a guide are included on multi-day trips.
Our best-selling Yoho trips, from 1 to 10 days. Most take in Emerald Lake and the Natural Bridge, and combine Yoho with Banff and Lake Louise. Coach transport and a guide are included on every trip; multi-day trips include hotels.
Calgary is the airport hub, Banff town an hour down the highway, and Vancouver the long way in from the coast. Pick a departure city to see the routes that leave from it, prices and how many days you'll need.
| Trip | Days | You'll see | From | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day trips | 1 Day | Emerald Lake and the Natural Bridge paired with Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, back the same evening | $64 | One day in the park |
| Short trips | 2-4 Days | Two to four days with nights in Banff town, covering Yoho, Lake Louise and the Columbia Icefield | $322 | A first visit |
| Vacation packages | 5+ Days | Five days and up, adding Jasper, Glacier National Park and Kamloops, ending in Calgary or Vancouver | $539 | The whole Rockies |
Most tours cover both. Yoho is the smaller park at 507 square miles, on the British Columbia side of the Continental Divide, and it has no resort town — Field, at its centre, has fewer than 200 residents. Banff has the hotels, the gondola and the town. In practice Yoho is what you add to a Lake Louise day: Emerald Lake sits 40 km west, about 35 minutes on the Trans-Canada.
One day covers the main sights. Day trips from Calgary, Canmore or Banff town reach Emerald Lake and the Natural Bridge and pair them with Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, returning the same evening. Two to four day routes add the Columbia Icefield and a night in Banff town. Five to ten day packages from Calgary or Vancouver add Jasper, Glacier National Park and Kamloops.
Yoho is in British Columbia, Canada, so travelers arriving from the United States need a valid passport, and entry requirements differ by nationality and by US immigration status — green card and visa holders should confirm their own before booking. National park admission is included on most tours, and the tour page confirms it. Bring layers and shoes you can walk in: the lakeshore paths are unpaved and mountain weather shifts through the day.
June to mid-October is the main season. Moraine Lake Road, which several day trips use, is open June 1 to October 12 in 2026 and closed to all vehicles outside those dates. Emerald Lake and the Natural Bridge are reachable year-round, with canoe rentals at the lake in summer. Check the tour page for which stops apply to your departure date.
Yoho's main stops are close to the road. The Natural Bridge and the Spiral Tunnels are short walks from the coach, and at Emerald Lake the lodge and shoreline sit right by the parking area — the 5 km loop trail is optional. One day trip is listed at moderate activity; the rest are easy or relaxed pace, and the tour page shows which. Day trips also avoid the hotel changes that come with multi-day routes.
Meal stops are usually at cafeterias and food courts rather than set restaurants, so travelers order their own and vegetarian options are available at every stop. Stricter requirements such as Jain or halal depend on what each stop carries, so raise them before departure rather than on the day. Services inside Yoho are limited, so most stops are at Lake Louise village or Banff town. Day trips do not include meals; some multi-day routes include breakfast.
Choose a departure city, pick a date, and book online. Your confirmation gives the pickup point and time — these are set by the route rather than chosen at checkout. Day trips leave from Calgary, Canmore and Banff town; longer packages leave from Calgary or Vancouver. Prices are per person and change by season.
Yes, on departures between June and mid-October. Parks Canada closed Moraine Lake Road to private vehicles in 2023, but commercial tour coaches still operate while the road is open — in 2026 that window is June 1 to October 12. Outside those dates the road is gated for avalanche control and no vehicle can reach the lake, so tours running in those months visit other stops instead.
Winter departures vary by route rather than following a fixed schedule, so check the dates on each tour page. Some multi-day routes are listed as winter or ski departures. Emerald Lake and the Natural Bridge stay reachable year-round and the lake freezes over, but Moraine Lake Road is closed to all vehicles outside June to mid-October, so any tour running in those months visits other stops instead.
Most Canadian Rockies routes are guided in English and Mandarin Chinese. A smaller number run in English only, and some departures also list Japanese. The languages for each departure are shown on the tour page.
