What does the tour include?

Is there a lot of walking involved?

This is not a walking tour and most of the tour will be spent on the bus, but there are opportunities for you to step off the bus to take in scenic views around Banff. However, when in the presence of the wildlife we do not step off the bus unless the guide believes it is safe.

Unfortunately we can never guarantee seeing any animals, but our guides try their best to take you to areas we know animals frequent.

Just your camera and warm clothes, plus any refreshments you may like.
