We were recently at Banff National Park for 4 days and decided to do this on our last evening there, as the scenery was amazing but we hadn’t yet seen much wildlife. Bears are one thing that we were hoping to see and did not, as it was s little late in the year. We did see…

We decided to do the the evening wildlife safari while staying in Banff for a family trip. I was a little skeptical on going because every other tour I had been on during my trip was lackluster. SO glad I decided to go on this one though! We were able to see a bunch of wildlife…

We had an absolutely incredible time on this excursion. We saw probably 40-50 elk while touring around the Banff area. Our awesome tour guide Gina is very informative, passionate and friendly. We had lots of opportunities to ask questions, Gina created a really fun environment…

If we hadn't have an a amazing tour in jasper a week before this tour it would probably have been better. The guide seemed more interested in telling stories about when they'd seen animals to actually finding any. We returned to the golf course on our own the following evening…

This was a disappointing experience. The pickup instructions were unclear and we had problems finding the pickup spot, which in hindsight was remote given the locations of the other travelers. We had to call Support to get everything sorted out. To their credit, the support…

Response from DiscoverBanffTours, Manager at Evening Wildlife Safari
Responded Sep. 29, 2019
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback on the Evening Wildlife Safari. We attempted to look up your booking to review the pickup instructions, but we weren't able to match this up from your username alone. This is detailed in the confirmation email but it sounds like you may have booked through a third party or wholesaler and may not have received the full tour information. We're thrilled to hear that our reservations team was able to assist you to resolve this. Fall is an exciting time to see elk in Banff, as it's during the rutting (breeding) season. We're often lucky enough to see them rounding up their harems of cow elk, fighting other male elk, and even sometimes to hear the unique 'bugle' which is simply incredible (and hard to believe that this is the noise an elk makes!). While we do go to the areas where we've seen animals lately they do move about on their own and may not be where we have seen them the previous evening or even earlier that same day. For this reason we don't guarantee wildlife sightings, but we have an amazing full-day tour to see Boo the grizzly bear at a grizzly bear refuge for any guests that would like to be sure of seeing a bear. We've passed on your feedback regarding the lack of air conditioning during part of the tour, and the Guiding Manager has made this a couching note for all our guides to check in with their guests a few different times throughout the tour as we want all guests to be comfortable on our tours. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Banff.
