Banff Evening Wildlife Safari

Where do you find the animals of Banff when the sun goes down?  Keep your eyes peeled for twilight wildlife encounters!

As the sun sets behind the craggy peaks, the wildlife of Banff National Park becomes more active in the cool hours before dark. 95% of the time wildlife is spotted on this tour, so this is your best chance to get up close with some of Banff’s wildest residents.

On 2-hour animal-spotting safari your guide will lead a paved road bus tour to the hotspots where you are most likely to see Rocky Mountain wildlife. You might spot a sheep grazing in an alpine meadow, an elk meandering across a clearing, and sometimes even a grizzly bear foraging through a berry bush. You’ll also learn about how the park protects these animals and their natural habitat from many threats to the ecosystem.

Along the way you’ll also have the chance to step off the bus to take in the scenic views. A stop will be made at an interactive touch table to view rare animal artifacts.
