“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).”
