1.Jasper Evening Wildlife Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 710 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $65Our pick

Review the Jasper Evening Wildlife Tour, with hotel pickup, expert guides, mountain scenery, animal sightings, price, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The guide Kans was very pleasant, professional and informative. However there was hardly any wildlife except for the elk. The trip should have started an hour later to avoid the heat and to allow for better sightings just after sunset. Also we should have been alerted that due to the heavy fires last year animals have moved away. The title of the trip was slightly misleading.”

Review of Jasper’s Maligne Valley tour, with wildlife stops, Medicine Lake, Maligne Lake cruise, Spirit Island, costs, and practical tips.

“Good pickup options and nice bus and boat ride. It should not really be called Wildlife cruise because you go down and back in the middle of the lake and the opportunity to see animals is nil. Employees were excellent and very informative tho and it was a pleasant day.”

“Alan was our guide. He was so well informed, and had a great sense of humor as well. The guide and boat captain of the Maligne cruise were terrific as well. The guide was Alec who was so friendly and also very articulate. Sadly I've forgotten the captain's name but he was amazing as well. We had a beautiful sunny day with no smoke which was a miracle as the day before had been canceled due to smoke.”

“Nigel la nostra guida è stato fin da subito molto coinvolgente con i suoi racconti, trovando sempre dei link interessanti, nel mentre in una splendida serata tiepida e perfettamente limpida, abbiamo visto: Cervi, capre di montagna cerbiatti un alce femmina e un maschio che ci ha fatto il regalo di farci un guado davanti agli occhi da sponda a sponda del Maligne Lake… e poi sulla via del rientro abbiamo visto anche una femmina di Grizzly!! Quindi è stato davvero un gran bel tour di 4 h totali!! Consigliatissimo!!”

12.Morning Jasper National Park Wildlife Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 47 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $65

Review of Jasper’s 3-hour morning wildlife tour, with bear sightings, expert guides, hotel pickup, pricing, timing, and practical tips.

“An INCREDIBLE day!! Our tour guide, Ross, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. We saw at least six bears (including a grizzly!), many elk, a bald eagle, some deer, and a pack of bighorn sheep. Truly a must-do for anyone interested in the wildlife in the area. Felt very safe the whole time - the vehicle is an air-conditioned/ heated closed bus - and Ross is kind enough to incorporate times to be outside of the vehicle, other educational material such as paw prints & horns, and a bathroom break. We went on a sunny day in early June and it was all around a 10/10 experience.”
