About this activity

Explore two of Yoho National Park’s most breathtaking highlights: Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls.

Begin your journey at the serene Emerald Lake, famous for its vivid emerald-coloured waters. Enjoy free time to stroll the shoreline, rent a canoe, or simply relax and take in the alpine scenery. Along the way, stop at the Natural Bridge, a fascinating rock formation carved by the rushing Kicking Horse River.

Next, visit the spectacular Takakkaw Falls, Canada’s second-tallest waterfall, plunging 373 metres (1,224 feet) down a dramatic mountainside. Take time to explore the area, feel the refreshing mist, and capture unforgettable photos.

Join us for an unforgettable day surrounded by the natural beauty of the Canadian Rockies.
