Explore Banff & Wildlife

This tour lasts approximately 3 hours for guests joining in Banff, and 4 hours for Canmore-based guests.

Our expert guides adjust the tour itinerary daily based on wildlife sighting opportunities and other factors, ensuring the best experience possible. With some luck, you'll encounter a variety of wildlife along the way.

While we aim to provide opportunities for wildlife sightings, we cannot guarantee encounters. The presence of wildlife can vary based on many factors like season, weather and even just our luck. Typically, the more you look, the luckier you often are.

The Rockies are home to many types of wildlife including elk, deer, bears, bighorn sheep, coyotes, wolves and moose, in addition to smaller animals such as squirrels, and many different bird species. Remember to maintain a safe distance and never approach or feed wildlife. Your guide will be sure to tell you about some of our popular animals, but be sure to ask questions if there is anything you want to learn.

This tour is predominantly vehicle-based, so that we can cover lots of ground on our search for wildlife. We will have many short stops along the way, some with relatively easy walks to
scenic viewpoints. Please be aware that regardless of the time of year, mountain weather can change quickly. Comfortable walking shoes are a good idea. Layers for colder days plus sunscreen and sunglasses are great yearround. Lastly, bringing a refillable water bottle is recommended.

We pick up from most hotels in Banff, Canmore and Harvie Heights. You can select your preferred pick-up location during the booking process.
