Get your discount tickets for the Banff Sunset Wildlife Tour: Spot Bears, Elk & Bighorn, save up to 9% !

Overview

Highway 40 isn't on the regular Banff tour map. It's a quiet road south of the park where the Rockies open into wildlife corridors, traffic thins to almost nothing, and bears, elk, and bighorn move freely through their territory. As golden hour settles in, your specialist guide takes you exactly where the animals are. Over 4 hours, you'll cover the pullouts and meadows your guide has spent seasons learning — the places that consistently produce sightings when the light turns warm. Your guide is trained in wildlife safety, ethical viewing distances, and Parks Canada protocols. Bring warm layers — temperatures drop fast after sunset. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. All ages welcome.
