I can highly recommend this trip! The organization is excellent and with the local guide you get a very deep impression and knowledge about the region. A special highlight of this trip was the canoe trip to a lonely bay! Enjoying the time without zivilisation is an amazing experience!

This was an amazing trip, filled with many memories and beautiful friends from around the world! Everything about this trip was made so easy thanks to the tour guide. He was very calm but also got the group excited for adventures. In terms of the itinerary, it was awesome! We were able to see a lot in 2 weeks. There were additional activities that we could pay for, but the guide took us to heaps of hikes and joined us on all of them! There were some long days of driving but I actually found it quite relaxing. The trip is pretty full on - having to set up camp every time we moved location and doing lots of hikes, so the long van days are sometimes really nice to get a snooze in. The guide cooked amazing food, even when we had to pack food into the canoe for the overnight trip, he still made the BEST DISH OF THE WHOLE TRIP - salmon and pesto pasta. It says meals are not included in the price, however we paid a small “Kitty” and that covered nearly all meals except for when we were in town, or got extra hungry - which was rare. The also included some traditional Canadian foods, such as poutine, Nanaimo bars and some others. The camping lifestyle was really fun! I have not had experience camping for 2 weeks so this was brand new! It was quite cold in the morning and sometimes through the night but as soon as fire bans were lifted, we had a fire going on the morning and before bed. I would recommend bringing a sleeping bag liner or blanket to help with the cold nights. The trip was incredible, I would highly recommend doing this. Everything is taken care of and the only thing I had to do was TRY and take in all the incredible views.

This was a wonderful adventure because of the itinerary, the spectacular surroundings, the good arrangements, the tiptop gear and van at our disposal, our awesome trip leader as well as the positive attitude of my fellow travelers. I was the odd on out regarding age, but they were all very inclusive of me. There was a good balance of hiking and other activities like the paddling in the less visited Wells Gray Park where we heard the call of the loon, a symbol of the wilderness, and also viewed two of the most spectacular waterfalls you could ever hope to see, as well as witnessing the futile attempts of salmon to jump up a rapid in the Clearwater river. The other sights in Jasper, and Banff and Yoho and Glacier National Parks were as spectacular as I had imagined them to be, but then, I love the mountains. I shall seek out my next trip with great anticipation.

This was a once in a lifetime trip, and was so incredibly memorable. It was great to disconnect digitally and reconnect with the beauty and majesty of the Canadian Rockies. Our guide - Raphael - was amazing and really elevated what was already a fantastic experience. Bucket list ticked!

My Canadian Rockies trip was outstanding. Catherine was a fantastic guide, so full of energy, a brilliant cook & so knowledgeable & organised. My group of 8 was wonderful and we became a little family by the end of the 15 days. We visited so many places & did so many activities - memories that will last a lifetime. I'd highly recommend the zip-lining, Maligne Lake Boat tour, Athabasca Ice Glacier & The Kicking River rafting - expensive but worth every penny! I'd highly recommend Intrepid and look forward to booking again - thank you!

An excellent highly enjoyable tour of the fabulous scenery of western Canada. The experience of being within the glorious landscapes of mountains, lakes, rivers, glaciers and forests of the Canadian Rockies is simply wonderous. Doing this with an experienced guide and a group of fellow adventurers makes for a thoroughly good time, if you put the work in, especially if you take up the optional activities.
09/10/2023
The rocky mountains tour is fantastic! 15 days of wildlife: free camping, amazing activities increadible landscapes. We were really lucky with the weather but we esperience the 4 seasons: From 35 to -1 degrees. The canoe camping is unique esperience and the ice walking is a must. Catherine was a fantastic guide and increadible cook. If you want to explore Canada, tgis is the right way to do it.

Don't think twice about booking this trip, just do it! If you love camping, being outdoors and exploring national parks, the Canadian Rockies trip has all that and more! Dusty was an outstanding leader and together with his great personality and insane local knowledge, made me fall in love with Canada!
08/21/2023
This was a fantastic opportunity to see not only the tourist highlights of the Canadian Rockies but also some hidden gems not featured in glossy brochures. Dusty, our guide, provided me with detailed information about the history, geography and local stories of each place we visited. He also ensured that all members of the tour had the opportunity to hike, paddle, zip line, white water raft, relax and laugh throughout fifteen days - even when it rained for twelve hours non stop! A sometimes challenging but always exciting adventure.
08/13/2023
This trip is a must do! We hit the jackpot with our guide Raph! He knew the best view points, the best lakes to swim in, the best cafes and restaurants, campsite tips, places to spot wildlife and was fantastic at making sure we all got to experience the activities at a level we felt comfortable with. Hiking, kayaking, white water rafting , cycling , lake swims , wildlife spotting … you name it we did it !
08/13/2023
The trip was absolutely amazing, the landscape was incredible and our guide (Raphael) was fantastic, we really hit the jackpot with him! He knows where all the good (and hidden) spots are
08/25/2023
Great landscapes, camping under the pine trees, fun diligent local leader giving the best advice, fun group…. An excellent trip all together
08/09/2023
Stunning scenery - the most beautiful you’ve ever seen! So many awesome hikes to do each day. Great camping equipment - super clean, modern and easy to put up. Prepare for all weathers - even in the summer! Just book it - it’s awesome!
08/11/2023
Our tour leader Dusty is the hardest working guide I've had on any tour I've done to date. He literally did the work of 3 people (Tour Guide, Chef & Driver) and did all 3 of them to an expert level. He went above and beyond in every aspect to make sure each individual in the group got the most out of their travel experience. Give the man a pay rise! - Cheers Dust-machine!

If you want to learn some life skills, whether or not you have a what it takes to be a ‘camper’, fully be immersed into the Canadian wilderness this is the trip for you! We got to see so much of this amazing country and also learned that we were in fact ‘campers’ at heart. It’s the only way to do Canada if you want to really experience how truly wild this place is!
07/19/2023
This is a must do trip if you want to see the ‘outdoors’ side of The Rockies. Everywhere you look is another incredible view or amazing hike to be done. We had an amazing guide in Raphael who made the trip so much better than expected!
07/09/2023
The Canadian Rockies was a fantastic trip. The scenery is spectacular…turquoise lakes, snow-capped mountains, glacial rivers and luscious forests! There are plenty of opportunities for hiking, canoeing, zip lining, bike riding, white water rafting etc. However, there is flexibility in the itinerary such that you can do as much or as little of these activities as you want. Dusty was an accomplished tour leader, whose organisation, enthusiasm and expertise, ensured for an amazing adventure!
