Stops vary depending on the tour, but we schedule stops at all major highlighted locations along the tour route. If there is a significant wildlife sighting, and it's safe to do so, the driver will stop the motor coach so pictures can be taken.
A camera is recommended as well as dressing in layers appropriate for the weather. You are welcome to bring snacks and drinks with you. If your tour ends in a location different from your departure location, be sure to bring along any necessary luggage.
We always recommend that you bring layers with you, even on those warm summer days since some sightseeing stops will be a little cooler than others. Wear some good walking shoes with grip; bring your camera, sunscreen and some light snacks.

While Brewster Sightseeing tours include scenic moments where you will disembark to take in the views or capture photos, it does not require any physical activity beyond a stroll. Due to the high altitude of both Banff and Jasper, some guests may find physical activities are slightly more strenuous than usual. If assistance is needed during your tour, please speak with any of our team members, who will be happy to accommodate.
