      It’s worth to join this trip ! Beautiful scenery view . Although we had no luck seeing Bison but saw few deers . Our operator/tour guide J is very nice guy . He took care n watched everyone of us getting down the car safely . He has patience waiting ppl who came bit late . Thanks J for driving us a safely journey.

      Long trip but worth it!

      It was a long day but worth it. I recommend seeing Waterton Lakes NP before going to Banff. I think you appreciate it more if you haven’t seen anything like it before. Jay was a great guide. The narrative throughout was very interesting & added to the overall experience. To know what you’re driving past is better than just seeing it and wondering. And the fields of yellow flowers are canola oil fields.

      Wonderful Waterton

      An exceptional experience with Waleed to Waterton. The weather was picture perfect, fantastic up close wildlife sightings of a bear and her three cubs and we had a delightful group from many different countries. The trip may be long but it certainly was packed with plenty of stops and photo opportunities at a comfortable relaxed pace. Waleed keeps you well fed and hydrated with beverages and snacks and even gave each one of our group members a personal drop off to each of our accommodations. Top notch service!

      I had an amazing trip to Waterton Park with this company today! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The itinerary was well planned, the transportation was comfortable, and the guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable. We had enough time to explore and take in the breathtaking scenery without feeling rushed. It was a wonderful day, and I truly appreciated the professionalism and attention to detail. I highly recommend this tour company to anyone looking to explore Alberta. Thank you for such a memorable experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

      The perfect tour to end my Calgary trip

      charmian_d, Jun 2026
      I had the pleasure of taking the Waterton National Park Tour with Rockies & Badlands Explorers. Waleed, the owner, picked me up at the designated airport location in a 2026 Lexus vehicle. Several clients had cancelled due to the 2 weeks of bad weather Calgary had experienced prior to the tour date, but Waleed kept the tour for the 2 remaining clients. This is a rare occurrence as usually tour companies may cancel the tour if there aren’t enough passengers. Most companies supply room temperature bottled water, but Waleed’s company went far beyond the typical fare. Bottled and sparking water were chilled in a cooler as well as various soda /pop, and iced coffee drinks. Snacks of chips and candy bars were offered throughout the tour. Waleed’s company offered a unique stop at the Head-Smashed-in Buffalo Jump World Heritage Site which was an unexpected delight. I believe he is the only day tour company who stops here. The rest of the tour to Waterton Lake National Park was great. He even stopped at the Bison Padlock twice when we couldn’t see any bison the 1st time. They were hiding behind a hill.
