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.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

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.

Our tour guide Kelli, was very knowledgeable and personable. She made every opportunity so that everyone got to see the animals. She answered all questions and it appears she really enjoys her job. She became very excited when she found animals.

Amazing and educational tour with a great guide - Josh!! Though our guide is from NZ? He is really experienced and full of energy! Within 3 hours, we got to know the difference between a grizzly bear and a black bear, horns and antlers, explanation of the different behaviour of the animals (whenever we see one - marmot, elk, osprey, white tailed deer). Very well organised and clear explanation/ instructions and expectations laid out before the tour.

This trip could be a hit or a miss and its all down to whether you see any animals. Luckily for us we saw elks, deer, big horn sheep, eagles and ospreys. Our driver, Sam, had incredible knowledge of the area and the local animals. He tried his best to make sure the trip was a success. We were picked up and dropped off from our hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip!
