Wildlife Viewing

Viewing our wildlife is one of the most popular and exciting activities for visitors to Banff National Park.  We see wildlife on over 95% of our tours.  
Elk, deer and coyotes are commonly seen on the Evening Wildlife Safari and while we do see bears occassionally, your best chance to see a grizzly bear is on our Grizzly Bear Refuge Tour.
