2024 Season


Canada-USA Border Cruise (Non-Landing)

Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes

This 1 hour and 15-minute Non-Landing Canada-USA Border Cruise travels to the international border where passengers will see a cutline running through the forest, up the sides of the mountains indicating the 49th parallel and the Canada/USA International Border. The cruise stays close to the shoreline which increases the chances of seeing wildlife. Scenic stops are plenty and an entertaining commentary is also provided by local guides. This cruise only goes about halfway down the lake to the international border and the trip is non-landing. No passports are required.

Interpretive Sightseeing Cruise (Goat Haunt Landing) Schedule

2 hour and 15 minute cruise landing at the Goat Haunt Ranger Station. This is our full cruise experience that travels the entire length of the lake, with an extended interpretive commentary from our local tour guides. Includes a 30 minute stop at the Goat Haunt Interpretive Centre on the U.S side of the lake, allowing guests to stretch their legs and explore this tranquil backcountry ranger station.

Passports are NOT required, unless passengers plan to stay longer than the 30-minute stop and intend to hike at, or from, the Goat Haunt Ranger Station. If planning to hike, passengers would require a passport and would have to clear U.S Customs ahead of time. This landing cruise also allows for pick-up of day hikers at a later departure time as well as backpackers and/or hikers that require a one-way ticket back to the Waterton townsite should they desire transport.
