We learned so much about the mating habits of the noble elk, the grizzly bear, the deer, the black bear and the Boss and Split-lip.

Uncover the secrets of the historic mountain town of Banff with a local guide leading the way as you gaze at stunning views and visit key landmarks. This morning journey takes you to some of the best sightseeing viewpoints including Bow Falls, Lake Minnewanka and the “oh wow!” view at Surprise Corner of the 'Castle in the Rockies'. Keep in mind that some stops could be closed pending the season. Plus, enjoy hot chocolate (in winter) or water (in summer) and maple cookies at one of the scenic stops. It's a complete orientation to Banff and a great tour for seeing wildlife in the morning! This tour is the perfect introduction to Banff as you hear stories about the local history and animals, while keeping your eyes out for local wildlife.

Had fun day with Jake, made us all welcome from pick up to drop off, Jake was a mind of information and witty with his stories

Jake was a great guide who kept the bus entertained with his repartee. The two hours flew by. We saw deer, elk and a squirrel……. Even if the wildlife don’t appear it is still a lovely trip with breathtaking scenery. We also had a couple of stops to take pics. Very enjoyable evening trip.
