This trip exceeded all expectations and I was not sure what to expect. A once in a lifetime opportunity that was wonderful to enjoy with my favorite group of strangers. Everyone pitched in to make it a great and memorable trip. Guides were flexible and provided cool facts along the way. They also encouraged us and kept us motivated to finish our hike.

Amazing trip with stunning scenery around every corner. Great guides and lucky to have a fun group. Camping was fine however you need good levels of fitness as most of walks include steep uphill climbs. Loved the additional excursions like kayaking, rafting and glacier walking! A trip to remember!

If you're considering this trip, don't hesitate - just sign up! There's a reason it has a five star rating. The guides (mine were Gabi and Jess) are fantastic and the scenery is awe-inspiring. Some of the hikes are challenging, but there are options to make the sights accessible to everyone. The meals were impressive for being prepared in camp!

It was an incredible trip with breathtaking views. A trip that makes you disconnect completely. Gabi and Maddie our guides were amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was well organised, the activities and hikes were varied, the food was really good and tasty. I had a lot of fun. Thank you Gabi and Maddie for this unforgettable adventure!

I absolutely loved this trip! What made the whole experience so unique for me was definitely our absolutely wonderful tour guides and their enthusiasm, energy and extensive knowledge about the nature around us. I still wallow in memories of the spectacular hikes, the fantastic food, the stargazing, the swimming in the lakes and the liberating feeling of being out in the Rockies. Would definitely recommend!

I absolutely loved this trip! Amazing from start to finish, brilliant guides, great group & scenery that I’m still trying to process. Spectacular views on the hikes, lake swims and night time star gazing. If you are considering it I’d say definitely book this trip!

If you get the chance to hike the Canadian Rockies you wont be disappointed. The scenery is stunning. We are in our 50’s and 60’s and managed well even though some tough hiking days. Food excellent. Guides Gaby & Matis excellent too
09/04/2024
Great trip to see as much as the Rockies in 8 days as I could! The leaders were very knowledgeable and adaptable. The hikes were great a few longer ones of around 10k in total and some days just a short ones nothing too strenuous.
09/23/2024
Beautiful scenery, great guides, the highlights of the National Parks, but not as much hiking as I expected. The updated itinerary due to Jasper fire meant more driving time but Waterton NP was a great substitute
08/19/2024
I loved this trip. It was fun, active and fulfilling. I haven’t camped in many years and that aspect of the trip added a unique and special quality. The tour leader was exceptional. The tour was slightly out of my comfort zone and I appreciated that greatly. Nice intergenerational group. I recommend this tour highly.

My trip with Intrepid to the Canadian Rocky Mountains was a once in a life time experience. The amazing guides (Marc & Romina) had everything covered from selecting the appropriate length hike, delicious nutritious food and proving interesting information about the surrounding areas. The tour included mountain hikes, forest walks, waterfalls, lakes and free time in villages and towns.

This was an incredible trip. Oli and Matis were excellent guides and the scenery was unmatched. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience of hiking in the Rockies (despite our itinerary changing due to wildfires in Jasper).
