5.00Great tour, was picked up and driven to wolfdog sanctuary in plenty of time, so we were taken to ghost lake before hand. We had 2 hours at the sanctuary, plenty of time to look about. Worth going to if you want a half day tour.

5.00We had a beautiful scenic drive out to the sanctuary, and we even made a stop at a town for ice cream and to see the oldest pub in calgary. The sanctuary was amazing. The wolfdogs were really well kept, and the talk was extremely informative. Our driver, Dair, was very friendly and went out of his way to make our trip enjoyable. On the way back, he also stopped at Ghost Lake, very picturesque. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, which definitely exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this tour as something a bit different and one that also supports wildlife. Thank you Dair...really appreciated.

5.00I had a great experience at the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary! My guide Kevin was very kind, smiling and interesting. I really enjoyed spending time with him despite my limited English. Once at the sanctuary, I was able to enjoy the place peacefully without feeling rushed. I also attended the intro tour, which was very interesting. The wolfdogs are so calm and seem very friendly. 🥹 Such a great experience, I definitely recommend it. Thank you Kevin!
