Jasper: Winter Wildlife Bus Tour in Jasper National Park

4.6 (113 verified reviews)

Before you book

  • Pickup and drop-off are included, but only at Jasper accommodation: the listing names 12 hotels (Chateau Jasper, Jasper Downtown Hostel, Lobstick Lodge, Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Astoria Hotel, Whistlers Inn, Marmot Lodge, The Crimson, Forest Park Hotel, Tonquin Inn, Jasper Inn & Suites by INNhotels and The Athabasca Hotel) and asks for your accommodation details when you book. It gives no meeting point for anyone staying elsewhere, so check with the operator first.
  • A morning tour in a small group: the itinerary gives about 30 minutes on the bus and about 3 hours of sightseeing and wildlife viewing in Jasper National Park, through the Athabasca Valley, with photo stops and minimal walking.
  • The operator says animal viewing cannot be guaranteed, because it depends on the season, the time of day and the weather. In Jasper in 2026, within 400 m of a road, people must keep 100 m from bears, cougars and wolves and 30 m from elk, moose, sheep and goats unless they stay inside a legally positioned vehicle (Parks Canada).
  • The listing calls it a winter tour and gives no dates; on 7 October 2026 its first available date was 13 October 2026. Not suitable for wheelchair users. Cancellation, as listed: “Cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund”.
