Meet Boo at Banff's Grizzly Bear Refuge!

Seeing a bear in the flesh is a thrilling moment that will stay with you long after you’ve left the mountains.  Boo is a Grizzly bear with paws the size of hubcaps, enormous muscles moving beneath his shaggy fur, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. He ambles slowly through his 20-acre habitat in the Rocky Mountain bush, allowing you to watch him explore, forage, and hunt just like his wild cousins. You’ll also hear his personal story and learn about grizzly bear behaviour during your visit to the largest enclosed grizzly bear habitat in the world.

Your grizzly adventure begins with being picked up in Banff. You’ll visit breathtaking Takakkaw Falls (subject to seasonal road access), Canada’s second-highest waterfall and the picturesque Emerald Lake. You’ll also take a gondola ride up to the top of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, where you’ll enjoy a gourmet lunch at the highest restaurant in Canada with spectacular views of the Canadian Rockies. From there, your tour continues with a chairlift ride to the Grizzly Bear Refuge for an intimate encounter with Boo.

This tour has a guaranteed grizzly bear sighting or your next tour is free.
