DON'T DO THIS in Banff, Canada!

tourists travelling to a tourist area not realizing there would be other tourists is sooo funny

You should not expect to have an airport in a national park.

For travel bloggers, I am amazed at how little you research your trips!!!!

I can't even finish watching this video. Complaining about there not being an airport in Banff, really??? Not seeing bears (the national park is not a zoo btw!). That you can't get around as good with public transport than you would with a rental car... Lake Louise is one of the most touristy places in Banff National Park. Did you honestly expect to be there all by yourself? You guys sound so entitled and whiney. You having a bad experience is your own fault for having unrealistic expectations, not preparing properly for the trip and not doing your research beforehand.

Tourists flying to a NATIONAL PARK WITH RESTRICTED AIRSPACE questioning why there is not an airport!

Oh my gosh hi guys!! I was just researching Banff and you all popped up and I got so excited. We’re thinking of visit Banff for my mom’s birthday this year. This video was SO helpful 😊

This review made me a little sad. It is such a privilege to visit places like Lake Louise. If you take a little time and do some of the hikes at Lake Louise they take you away from the crowds, even in peak season. My husband and I are well traveled and were absolutely blown away by the beauty at Lake Louise and up past the Tea House. Take this review as just one couples’ experience

Just got back after spending 12 days in Banff on a snowboarding trip. Didn’t have a car. Shuttle from the airport only took maybe an hour and a half? We stayed at the Rocky Mountain resort and used their shuttle when the time worked out otherwise hiked or got a taxi, which was cheap IMO. It was a great time, people that go into it thinking it’s going to be like Instagram will be sorely disappointed though. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bears are in the cascade mountain valley with some cougars. And everything is up in the morning about 4 am walking around town.

Great post. I relate with your travel preferences (public trans, hotels) and still recognize there are times/locations where others choices(car) are more practical. I’m looking to go in end of May/beginning of June. I’m glad you posted that bit about Morraine opening June 1. When did you go? Aside from the lakes, how did fill out the rest of your itinerary? Also, is Calgary worth a day or two visit?

So glad you managed to find your way out of Canada. Please keep it that way

Thank you for the details! I’m visiting next month in mid-July and excited!!

Thanks for the tips! Which hostels did you stay at? We are looking as well!

I live 4 hours away from Banff and Jasper national park (been living here for 26 years). My favorite spot is Moraine Lake. Too bad, I can't just drive there anymore like I used to every year. Because of so many tourists visiting, you have to park and book a shuttle to visit the lake. The amount of people (tourists) visiting in the summer has been insane.

Sounds like a bear of a time to see all the wildlife you wanted to see! Thanks for always keeping it real. Wall of people is no good. You should definitely coordinate the tour so people go to the right lakes!

Tourist complaining about other tourists being where they want to go …

Great video and not surprised by the crowds but hey the place is spectacular. I will be visiting in six weeks. Can't wait.

The road to Lake Louise is closed for private vehicles in winter, they say and you can only get there by bus so the car won't help. I'll be there tomorrow so I'll check it out

If it takes you 2hrs from Calgary to Banff you are driving dangerously slow. Banff Springs is an experience in itself. Stay at a cheap hotel if you are out and about, stay at Banff Springs if you want to stay around the hotel grounds.

You should have visited Jasper National Park!!! That’s where you’re going to see wildlife! Just today, we saw 3 black bears on the road in Jasper, when we were going to Maligne Lake!
