Banff and Its Wildlife Tour - Summer

Explore Banff, an unbelievable World Heritage Site!

This Banff sightseeing tour is a great introduction to the park. Uncover the secrets of a historic mountain haven with a local guide leading the way as you gaze upon the stunning views and visit Banff's key landmarks.

Your guide will take you to the main highlights around the town of Banff whilst providing fascinating commentary on the history of Banff National Park with stories about the wildlife. Only half your time is spent on the bus. At every stop you will have the opportunity to get off the bus and stretch your legs. All of the viewpoints are a short walk from the bus.

Often, you are able to view wildlife on the tour, however, as the animals are wild these sightings cannot be guaranteed. Most commonly seen are mule deer, white tail deer, elk, and big horn sheep. Your guide will have a lot of knowledge about the animals within the park and will fill you in about them if you see any wildlife or if you have any questions.
