Banff: Wildlife Tour

Service Description

As the sun begins to set and the crowds thin out, the Canadian Rockies come alive. Our Evening Wildlife Tour is designed to give you the best opportunity to observe Banff National Park's incredible wildlife in their natural habitat, all while exploring some of the park's most scenic landscapes. Over the course of 3–4 hours, your knowledgeable local guide will take you to a variety of wildlife hotspots around Banff and the Bow Valley. Every tour is unique, with our route changing based on recent wildlife activity, seasonal patterns, and current sightings. Whether it's a quiet mountain meadow, a winding valley, or a riverside corridor, we'll head to the areas offering the best chance of an unforgettable encounter. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights into the region's wildlife, ecosystems, conservation efforts, and the behaviours of the animals that call the Rockies home. While wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, the Bow Valley is one of the best places in Canada to encounter species such as elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, mule deer, white-tailed deer, coyotes, black bears, grizzly bears, wolves, and a variety of birdlife. Every outing is an adventure, and even when the wildlife is elusive, you'll experience breathtaking scenery and gain a deeper appreciation for Banff National Park. This small-group experience is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, families, and anyone hoping to experience the Rockies beyond the famous viewpoints.
