I'm Eppo, your professional guide to unforgettable adventures in the Canadian Rockies. With more than 25 years as a filmmaker working with Animal Planet, Discovery Channel and National Geographic, I've spent much of my career filming wildlife and exploring some of Canada's wildest places. I know where to look, when to look, and how to give you the best opportunity to find the animals you've come to see. And the scenery comes with the wildlife. Searching for grizzly bears, elk, bighorn sheep and other iconic animals takes us through some of the most spectacular landscapes in the Canadian Rockies—turquoise lakes, glaciers, waterfalls, mountain passes and hidden valleys. With my filmmaking and photography background, I also know where to find those incredible views and how to make the most of them. Every tour is personal and flexible. We might explore the Icefields Parkway, search quiet mountain roads for wildlife, photograph wild horses, discover lesser-known scenic locations, or experience the culture and traditions of Indigenous communities. It's about getting away from the ordinary and experiencing the Rockies through the eyes of someone who has spent decades filming and exploring them. Come explore the Canadian Rockies with me. We'll search for wildlife, take in breathtaking scenery, and create some unforgettable memories along the way. Eppo is fully licensed and registered to operate in Canada's National Parks and carries comprehensive commercial liability insurance, so you can explore with confidence knowing you're travelling with an experienced professional guide.

Overview of your Banff tour

Enjoy a low-impact 3-4 hour wildlife and scenery tour through the breathtaking landscapes of Banff National Parks, guided by me — a documentary filmmaker with experience working on Animal Planet and Discovery Channel. Together we’ll search for black bears, wolves, elk, moose, and grizzly bears in their natural habitats, visiting carefully chosen locations I use for wildlife filming to increase our chances of meaningful sightings. While wildlife is the focus, the real reward is the journey itself — towering peaks, alpine valleys, rivers, and some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the world. With guidance on photography and timing, you’ll leave with unforgettable images and an even deeper connection to the wild beauty of the Rockies.

Your Banff tour itinerary

Starting from either Banff or Calgary, we'll embark on our tour during the golden hours of dawn or dusk, when wildlife is most active. -We'd then proceed to dive into either Banff National Park, Jasper National Park according to your preference. -As we go, I'll share my knowledge and expertise on wildlife behaviour, habitat & conservation, providing a deeper understanding of the species we encounter. -Regardless of the National Park we decide to explore, we'd drive across berry-filled areas for chances of spotting black bears, as well as wetlands and forests for chances of spotting moose.
