Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult
This tour is not recommended for young children: The Wildlife Tour is typically geared more towards adults, providing educational commentary along the way. While wildlife sightings are frequent, the experience differs significantly from a zoo visit. Due to the unpredictable nature of wild animals, sightings occur intermittently during the 3-hour tour and vary from day to day. Based on our observations, young children often become restless as there are no scheduled stops on this vehicle-based tour. Therefore, we recommend a minimum age of 5 years. Although not recommended, children and infants under 5 years old are welcome, provided a seat is purchased for them at the child rate (all passengers regardless of age are required to be allocated a seat on the bus). For those bringing infants, we recommend bringing a baby carrier which can be secured with the provided seat belts on our buses.
Jasper National Park is a wild and natural habitat. Wildlife Sightings are frequent but not guaranteed.

What To Expect
Maligne Adventures
Your guide will personally greet you at your Jasper hotel where you will join a small group on board a comfortable minibus. As you meander slowly down the valley, you will gaze out large windows while passing stunning scenic views of the mountains and surrounding wilderness. You will visit seasonal locations, selected daily by your guide allowing you the best chances of seeing wildlife in its natural habitat. The evening is an ideal time for wildlife viewing with animals being most active in the late afternoon to dusk, so be sure to keep an eagle eye for anything that moves. Capture your memories through photographs from either inside the minibus or occasionally by a short walk at the discretion of your guide. Along the way you will discover valuable insights into the challenges of managing and protecting wildlife within the National Park. Your professional local guide will be eager to answer your questions, as they passionately share the magic of Jasper's wild side, bringing the stories of the animals to life. 95% of tours are successful at spotting wildlife. However, while encounters are frequent, everyday is unique. Jasper National Park is a natural environment and wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed. The tour will finish with complimentary drop-off back at your accommodation.

5.00Tour was really awesome. Our guide SAM was really a knowledgeable, jovial person. He drove the car smoothly, explained the history, wild animals details, shown buffalo berries, Montain goat, Elk, Moose, beaver, otter, bald eagle, many more. We would suggest time of tour should be till 9:30pm as we have seen most of the wild animals between 8:30pm to 9:30pm

5.00This was a great tour. Sam, our driver, was so knowledgeable and knew the best places to see wildlife. During the evening, we saw bears, eagles, beavers, elk, to name but a few. Pick up and drop off was from our hotel. The bus had really large windows for taking photos from. I would highly recommend Maligne Adventures. Really good value for money and lovely staff who go above and beyond in their customer service.
Excellent tour, Sam is the man

5.00Our guide Sam was outstanding, we saw Bears, Elk, Deer, Marmots, Eagles and an Osprey flying over with a fish in its claws. Sam loves his job and is a very knowledgeable guide. He tried his best to find a moose, even extended the tour but without any luck. He did say that there’s a chance to see Melvin (the local friendly moose) near Maligne lake the following day and we actually saw a moose feeding on the bank of the lake from the boat returning from the lake trip. Can only assume it was Melvin. Thanks Sam 👍
Amazing and informative tour
