3.00Very knowledgeable guide with interesting information. It but mainly a bus tour. I would have liked it to be more outdoors and for us to see rarer animals. Overall, however, successful.
Wonderful wildlife winter adventure

5.00Our guide, Christian, was absolutely fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable about the local area’s rich history and shared fascinating insights about the recent fires in Jasper — explaining what happened, which areas were affected, and how the forest is regenerating now and into the future. Throughout the tour, Christian also gave us great information about the wildlife we encountered, including long-horned sheep, elk, and eagles. Every stop felt special — we were taken to some truly magical places with breathtaking scenery that showcased the best of Jasper’s beauty. This tour is exceptional value for money and a wonderful way to experience the area. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Jasper!
Excellent experience....

5.00Excellent experience. Jeff was a great guide and kept us engaged on the bus with commentary about Jasper town and the surrounding nature. Sadly we didn’t get to see any bears but we did manage to see a few other interesting animals. Highly recommend.

5.00What a wonderful time I had. We went looking for wildlife in a minibus and had an awesome time. It was great to see Elk, big horn sheep, deer and bald eagles. We also visited Medicine Lake and Maligne Lake which made the trip for me and we were taught about the ecology of fire and the different types of antlers. The trip was great value for money and our guide Yvonne was amazing with superb knowledge of the local habitat and everything that lives in it.
Deer oh deer....

5.00Beautiful day to take the group away and, as animals are subject to availability, we were lucky to see scores of deer, elk and bald headed eagles, no moose nor bear. Yvonne was knowledgeable, funny, direct and talkative - the number of tales I have to hold on to is too many but I will never forget B******t Creek and what to do when you meet a bear (we didn't).
