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.”
