Picked up from our hotel by our wonderful guide. An evening of seeing some wildlife with an informative, spirited guide, and managed to see elk, goats, bighorn sheep, osprey nest with chicks, topped off with a magnificent sunset before returning to our accommodation. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing tour guide "the bear whispering lady". She had a lot of knowledge and her passion to tell about the land and the animals makes it very nice to listen to everything she has to say. And we where very lucky we saw 8 male Elks and a lot of female Elks and the young babies. The where al together. The males where challenging each other. We saw 2 coyotes and a lot of blackhoorn sheep and a moose! She takes here time to tell en show us everything. We where very happy with here!

Loved going in search of natural wildlife around Jasper. Our guide really knew and understood the animals that frequent Jasper. He was able to answer and discuss lots of topics and we were fortunate to see some elk and observe their behaviour. A relaxed and enjoyable trip.

We spotted elks but that was all so not a good experience but it’s the luck of the draw I thought with it saying us upto date animal sightings we would have seen more but this didn’t seem the case
Not what I expected.

The 'discover' Jasper was mostly a commentary on the fire. Not sure what was presented before the fire. This particular tour was hard to hear/understand what the guide was telling everyone. The microphone was not very good. We did see some elk and beavers.
not worth your time or money

mediocre at best. Did a hike in the morning at Maligne lake, exactly the tour and route the discovery Tour took in the evening. Did not see any animal except for two elchs. I know the Company does not order the animals to be there at a specific time BUT 1. they take the Highway and frequently traversed routes by cars/RVs, so of course there are no animals near by. 2. the bus goes so fast you cannot spot any wild life in time if there was any (or more far away ones). Our guide James was great, he did what he could, still I consider it to be a scam to use the exact route as all normal cars use and to ask for so much money for basic Wikipedia facts. Do not book these tours!!
Mediocre tour of beautiful landscape.

We did the early morning tour to see wildlife and overall it was disappointing. What we expected was an in-depth opportunity to see various forms of wildlife and learn about the impact of wildfire. We wanted to be engaged by the landscape from close up - walking, looking, seeing signs of wildlife, and get more than we could get by driving ourselves. What we got was 4 hours in a van, with a few photo stops. We were lucky that we did see a bear, which was definitely a highlight, but if we hadn't gotten lucky with that, there would have been no wildlife sightings at all. It felt superficial, and our tour guide wasn't very engaging, nor did he really seem to care that we were there.
