An unforgettable winter wildlife tour!! - I just did this tour with Jeff #2 today! What an amazing winter wildlife experience. Jeffs drive to ensure we maximized our experience was beyond all expectations. His knowledge and experience rounded out a perfect day! Elk, deer, big horn sheep + Moose sightseeings, so blessed!

Scenic trip of nature and wildlife - We had a great guide who explained everything. We got to see a about 8 elks an eagle in its nest, as well as a bear that came right up to the bus and stayed there eating berries. We than had a boat ride with gorgeous scenery around us.

A great way to experience some of Jasper National Park - This was a fabulous wildlife tour. Our guide Jake went out of his way to help us see as much wildlife as possible. On the way to Maligne Lake, we saw a couple herds of Elk, including 2 bucks, and some white tailed deer. At Maligne Lake we went on a cruise to Spirit Island. When we arrived at the Lake it was very overcast and actually started to sleet. But as we arrived at Spirit Island, the sun came out and the views were spectacular. It was a lovely way to spend an hour and a half on Maligne Lake. After leaving Maligne lake , we saw Medicine lake, again fabulous views, and during the course of our tour we say 2 osprey and their nest , and we got up close to a very old Big horned Sheep and his harem. We got so much information throughout the tour from Jake, that made it all the more special. Would highly recommend this tour especially if Jake is the tour guide.

Hiking in the snow - Due to weather cancellation for the cruise we went wildlife viewing and hiking in the forest in the snow. I think it was a bonus cruise was canceled as I had the best day. Guid Jake was great hiking in the snow

Great Tour, Great Guide - Our guide Josh had a deep knowledge of the wildlife, the land, the people, and especially the lessons of last year’s fire, and showed a real talent for teaching.

I can only see a few animals, but I expect more. - The driver guide is very good, the boat cruise is excellent! But I did not receive any information about the pick up time until I called you to ask about it!

Waste - A waste of money. No actual wildlife tour. Just a drive to the lake. Also no waterfall. A total waste.
