Highlights
  • Maligne Adventures - Your guide will personally greet you at your Jasper hotel where you will join a small group on board a comfortable minibus. As you meander slowly down the valley, you will gaze out large windows while passing stunning scenic views of the mountains and surrounding wilderness. You will visit seasonal locations, selected daily by your guide allowing you the best chances of seeing wildlife in its natural habitat.

The evening is an ideal time for wildlife viewing with animals being most active in the late afternoon to dusk, so be sure to keep an eagle eye for anything that moves. Capture your memories through photographs from either inside the minibus or occasionally by a short walk at the discretion of your guide. Along the way you will discover valuable insights into the challenges of managing and protecting wildlife within the National Park. Your professional local guide will be eager to answer your questions, as they passionately share the magic of Jasper’s wild side, bringing the stories of the animals to life.

95% of tours are successful at spotting wildlife. However, while encounters are frequent, everyday is unique. Jasper National Park is a natural environment and wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.

The tour will finish with complimentary drop-off back at your accommodation.

Additional Information

Embark on this 3-hour Evening Wildlife Search and discover the rich variety and plentiful wildlife residing in Jasper National Park. Under the guidance of a knowledgeable local tour guide, you’ll have the chance to spot numerous native species. Encompassing creatures as small as a squirrel and as magnificent as a grizzly bear, the diversity is vast. Elk, moose, bears, sheep and deer are just a few of the animals you might encounter - all of which are residents of Jasper.
We also offer Private Tours.

  • To request complimentary pick-up from your accommodation, please specify which hotel you are staying at. Pickup times vary therefore your exact pick-up time will be confirmed upon booking.
  • If you are staying outside of Jasper, please specify Jasper Downtown Location - at Two Brothers Totem Pole across from Parks Canada Information Center on Connaught Drive. Your meeting time will be 15 minutes prior to your trip’s departure time. All-day parking is located in the parking lot.
  • Viewing will be primarily from inside the minibus however, at the discretion of your guide there may be times where you have the option to step outside at viewpoints. A small amount of walking may be involved.
  • Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult
  • This tour is not recommended for young children: The Wildlife Tour is typically geared more towards adults, providing educational commentary along the way. While wildlife sightings are frequent, the experience differs significantly from a zoo visit. Due to the unpredictable nature of wild animals, sightings occur intermittently during the 3-hour tour and vary from day to day. Based on our observations, young children often become restless as there are no scheduled stops on this vehicle-based tour. Therefore, we recommend a minimum age of 5 years. Although not recommended, children and infants under 5 years old are welcome, provided a seat is purchased for them at the child rate (all passengers regardless of age are required to be allocated a seat on the bus). For those bringing infants, we recommend bringing a baby carrier which can be secured with the provided seat belts on our buses.

Wildlife Tour - Sam did an excellent job driving us around and seeing the animals in Jasper National Park. It was a great tour. I was really sad about the wildfire which came through on Monday. Our trip was excellent!

Great Wildlife Spotting Tour - Even though it was an unusually hot day in Jasper, we saw lots of different wildlife on the tour, including a black bear sow and her two cubs. In between sightings, Kelli shared lots of interesting commentary about the flora and fauna in Jasper NP.

Unmissable wildlife tour - Our guide was amazing - saw loads of wildlife including deer, elk, marmots, moose, bald eagle chicks and grouse and chicks. This was the evening we were then evacuated and advice was excellent. Hope everyone did get home safe and you will be able to resume as soon as is safe. It was a brilliant tour and thoroughly recommend.

Great tour saw loads of wildlife with Jake - Jake was our guide who was great. We saw deer, elk, elk with antlers, moose, eagles nest with eagles and two black bears. Just waiting for the grizzly now but it was 38C so understandably a bit hot for them

A great evening wildlife tour - Kelli was a very informative and interesting tour guide. Her passion for the park and its wildlife was obvious. We saw lots of wildlife including a black bear with 2 cubs, elk, deer, marmot, osprey and 2 young bald eagles in their nest. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable tour and well worth the money.

Surprisingly awesome! - We did this tour and I was slightly skeptical that we would actually see anything. Boy was I wrong. The tour was AMAZING. Sam was our guide and was incredibly knowledgeable and charismatic. My family of four (2 children 11 and 7) enjoyed the entire trip. We saw a mama black bear and two cubs, multiple elk and bull elk and some calves, 2 moose, a white tailed buck, and two immature bald eagles. Sam even let us try buffalo berries which my kids thought was great. Thank you for such an amazing tour!
