Evening Wildlife Safari

We were driving to the Banff Springs Hotel and saw a hugh male Elk walking across the road on his way to the golf course. If you want to see Elk , they all hang out on the golf course at this hotel. Donna Toronto

The tour was brilliant and so was our guide Heidi. Very informative and funny and kept us all entertained. We saw deer, Elk and unbelievably a bear!! My only criticism is that Viator told us to meet the tour in downtown Banff as they didn’t pick up from hotels. That meant we had to get a taxi there…..which cost us $12. However, when we boarded the bus the driver proceeded to drive to our hotel to pick up another guest! So a waste of time & money for us!! I have reported this to Viator via email with no response!

Very Good. Drivers was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately not all the wild fauna cooperated. Weather was good

When I told my husband we were going on an evening wildlife safari, he looked at me like I was crazy and we were going to spend hours driving around for nothing. But, I'd say, at the end, we were both really happy we did - it was a cool experience. Our guide had a wonderful personality and was very educated on the entire area, the history and the animals. He took us to areas we wouldn't have thought to go to on our own. The coolest part of the tour was seeing a male elk with his harem. He told us all about mating season and was describing the personality of the very dominant male. You could feel the excitement from all of us, including our guide when another male started to approach. We watched the group for a good 45 minutes as he explained what rutting it and we weren't sure if we would see it. Finally, the smaller of the two males walked away, so there was no confrontation but it was an interesting learning experience. We ended up seeing two groups of elk and one content single male elk. It made the evening. I would definitely recommend it.

Overall was a nice evening activity. Our driver was awesome, she is very friendly, very knowledgeable and really tried to take us to locations to spot some animals. Overall we got some sightings of Elk, which was great but nothing other than that. I certainly recommend it as a nice evening activity.

Heidi was a fantastic guide. We really enjoyed our safari! We highly recommend this tour. We learned a lot about keeping wildlife safe.

Annick was wonderful! She’s very knowledgeable in regards to the wildlife. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Banff.

The only thing great was the tour guide (he was amazing). Otherwise you just see goats and elk (which you see driving around as well) - if you have your own car select some routes and just drive there at dawn or dusk. This is not worth the money spent

Ronnie the guide was amazing and was full of energy. This tour doesn't take you in dense forest areas which ahould be the case. It takes you through the normal roads and routes, just slowly. We didn't see anything else apart from couple of Elks. But that's not the point as you have to be lucky to see a lot. I do not recommend this tour as you can do it yourself, driving slow and looking out for the animals.

It was a great evening with our guide/driver. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and great energy. We managed to see some group of elks and deer but no bears - it was still a lot of fun and a lot of nice spots for pictures around Banff national park.
