Really good experience. Went end of May 2025. Lucky enough to see black bears and a grizzly with 2 cubs. Moose, bald eagle with chicks and deer and elk. The tour ran an hour or so over as there was lots to see! The tour guide gave some really good commentary and stories.

Outstanding tour

Deena_N, Oct 2025
Our driver Evonne was absolutely full of humor and knowledge.. We saw Big Horn Sheep, Moose, Wolves Elk cows and even a Bull Elk!

We spotted but not much

SUZANNE_K, Sep 2025
We spotted elks but that was all so not a good experience but it’s the luck of the draw I thought with it saying us upto date animal sightings we would have seen more but this didn’t seem the case

Not what I expected.

Rosie_B, Sep 2025
The 'discover' Jasper was mostly a commentary on the fire. Not sure what was presented before the fire. This particular tour was hard to hear/understand what the guide was telling everyone. The microphone was not very good. We did see some elk and beavers.

Great tour

Good VFM evening tour

Mark_C, Jul 2025
Extensive and educational evening tour. Great driver guide and , through her patience, we finally saw a bear!

It is just a bus drive

Maja_S, Jul 2025
It is just a bus drive - you can drive to the 3 lakes in your car. The guide did not say anything and just drove the bus.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. Our goal is to offer informative and memorable tours, and it’s clear we fell short in this instance. We appreciate you pointing out that the guide did not provide commentary — this is not the standard we aim to uphold. We'll be reviewing this with our team to ensure future tours are more engaging and informative. While it's true that the lakes can be accessed by car, our tour is intended to offer added value through local insights, guidance, and convenience — and we regret that wasn’t reflected during your visit. Your feedback is very helpful, and we’ll be using it to improve the experience going forward. If you're open to it, we’d love a chance to make it right. Please feel free to reach out to our team directly.

Jeff was a great tour...

David_S, Jul 2025
Jeff was a great tour guide. Knowledgeable about the wildlife and the area. Knew that’s why where to look to find local wildlife.

A Scam

Julien_V, Jun 2025
The guide is Lovely. Except that it’s an absolute desastre. You just drive to the maligne Lake with the same road as everyone else. You take a picture of an eagle that evryone on the road stops to see. We did the road on the morning on our own and saw much more wildlife. See a wild animal is for sure chance, but you Pay an expansive amount just to take the road on a bus which has less visibility than a car. To conclude if you have a car just take the road to maligne lake and you have it (and your money).

Highly recommended and a must do if visiting Jasper

Mark_L, May 2025
We really enjoyed this tour. Peter was very knowledgeable about the Jasper area and wildlife. We saw a number of the local wildlife and even though we didn’t get to see any bear, it was a fantastic trip.

You won’t walk away empty.

Marvin_H, Oct 2024
This tour was truly amazing. I have never seen so much wildlife. We have gone on similar tours with disappointment. Plenty of mouse , bears etc. thank you.

Evening Wildlife tour – Jasper May 2024

Laureen_W, Jul 2024
This was a great tour with SunDog tours! Guide Geoff was knowledgeable and funny. We were able to see lots of wildlife and even an elusive Grizzly bear! A black bear, a large bull elk as well as a female elk apparently ready to calve, lots of big horn sheep, mule deer and white tail deer. Thank you for an amazing experience

Good Trip

Tobin_J, Jun 2024
Great time we had with the ride. We were able to see good wildlife there in Jasper. It was a great experience.

Fun and exciting

Elaine_B, Jun 2024
Even though it was raining this was still a great tour. We managed to find some elk, dear and baby eagles. I even spotted a bear but he went into the forest before I could get a picture. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Sun Dog Tours were brilliant. Definitely recommend

Sharon_G, Jun 2024
The tour was amazing. Geoff was our guide and he was very engaging and funny. Graig was very informative and gave us plenty of opportunity to to take photos and make sure we had adequate time to see the animals. He went above and beyond for us. We saw a Grizzly bear, a moose, black bears, elks, loads of deers, long horn sheep, mountain goats, bald eagles, osprey a hoary Marmot and a beavers dam

Amazing wildlife tour

Julie_A, Jun 2024
Jeff the driver was very informative, good fun and really included everyone in the tour. We saw so many animals we were spoilt, starting with a grizzly bear, followed by a moose, black bears, elk, osprey, bald eagle and others. I couldn’t have asked for more.

Wildlife tour

Paula_G, May 2024
Booked this late, great organisation and accommodating to change of pick up. Guide Alec was funny and informative...real credit to the company. Bus was super comfortable and saw lots of wildlife including a brown bear!

Great Trip

Rekha_I, May 2024
It was a wonderful trip to wild life and the guide was awesome, very funny and jolly and made the ride interesting. We spotted the bear on rocks, elks, and rear find beaver. Weather was very windy and wet but we enjoyed every single moment. She was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend this tour.

Not much wildlife and wrong type of vehicle

Chris_A, Oct 2023
Guide was good and provided interesting information, but didn't see much wildlife (just luck i guess) and the coach we were on wasn't really appropriate for this type of trip. A smaller vehicle would have been better. Also, the interior lights on the coach were left on so as it was getting dark outside there were just reflections off the windows. Should have at least dimmed the interior lights.

Where were the animals?!

Mike_S, Oct 2023
Ben was a great guide, very knowledgable and did a good job explaining the area. Struck out on wildlife other than sheep and elk but still a good time

A great guide and fantastic wildlife

Shaun_M, Sep 2023
This tour had it all! A great guide full of information took us on a constant search for wildlife. We saw elk, white-tailed deer, bald eagles, marmot, bighorn sheep, and black bear. Fantastic value for money!

Great experience but could be better

Smeet_Y, Aug 2023
Exclusive tracks/location for the tour folks which has high possibility to see the wildlife animals.

Very nice

Haim_S, Jul 2023
Nice and professional guide. We saw a variety of animals, including Black Bear. We liked the tour very much.

A Worthwhkle Trip

Harold_T, Jul 2023
Chloe was very personable and informative about the area we visited and anjmals in the area. We saw many animals - moose, eagles, osprey and eagle nests. Maligne Canyon is also worth seeing. Hike was ok, but not that interesting. Trip was definitely worthwhile.

Brits wildlife search

Sarah_L, Jul 2023
Our driver tried his best to find wildlife in challenging conditions. He stayed out a little longer but he tried to fill the time with the props on the bus. This was informative but lengthy and also advising people on spraying with bug spray. We were outside standing by the lake for a long time and the bus door left open for all manner of insects to enter

Great experience

Lynne_M, Jul 2023
We saw wildlife we had never seen before and just stunning scenery all around. 3 hours just flew by.

Evening wildlife tour

Julia_V, Jul 2023
A brilliant evening wildlife tour. Dieter was an excellent driver and narrator. We were extremely lucky with all the wildlife we saw last night, which was definitely due to Dieter's local knowledge.

Perfect Wildlife Tour

John was a great guide! He explained everything about wildlife and found eagles, bears, elks and mule deer for us. The tour was perfect!
