An awesome trip. Mikaël was a great guide, the people were cool, and the scenery was gorgeous. Camping was fun and we didn’t have any problems outside of some weather at the beginning. Highlight of the trip was seeing elk, a moose, and a bear on the same day in Jasper!

I would 100% recommend this tour. It was the perfect length and you got to see so much that you wouldn’t be able to do on your own. The sights are beautiful and you make amazing friends on the way. Special mention to our awesome leader Mikael, he made the trip unforgettable.

I loved this trip and would recommend it to anyone. The scenery was breathtaking and fed the soul. Our guide Mikail was a legend and we owe so much of the trip being as good as it was to him. He cooked every night and was very efficient with the food kitty (right down to noticing what people were/weren't eating and adjusting accordingly), was super organised and switched on, and constantly went the extra mile to ensure the group saw as much as possible / advised us on activities to ensure each individual personally got the experience they wanted. To address the negative reviews: yes, the first and last few days, bookending the trip, are mainly driving with fairly brief stops (you're covering a long way!). But once you hit Banff, and are settling into campsites for 2 - 3 nights, you won't feel it. For those who say it feels like a school trip - didn't find this at all. Secondly, this trip says 'moderate fitness'. But if you're more active and outdoorsy, this is one for you and you'll get more out of it. The best hikes require a higher base level of fitness and are absolutely worth it! As paid activities go, rafting, zip lining and horse riding were all amazing ways to see a new side of the Rockies - but if you can only choose one, make it the Athabasca Glacier. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. There are also heaps of free options - a personal highlight was hiking the Valley of the Five Lakes in Jasper (this is the best and warmest spot to wild swim and where you will most likely see wildlife), and hiking to a swimmable waterfall in Wells Grey. One last tip - LAYERS. At night, you want fleeces and beanies - no matter how hot the day has been. During the day, we had everything from clouds and rain (so bring a raincoat!!) to 27° heat (running base layers work super well and don't take up much space in your rucksack).

Stunning scenery. Great fun. If you get Mikael for your tour guide, you're in luck. You are camping and moving around fairly quickly so you're gonna be exhausted by the end of it but that's all part of the fun.

First of all, the scenery and wildlife were spectacular. Camping equipment was easy to use and the food kitty worked well. However, there is a huge amount of driving on this trip and while it was broken up well it does come at the cost of actually seeing the places you’re driving to. There was very little free time and so it really did feel like a school trip. We had communication issues with the guide at the start of the trip and while I appreciate that both intrepid and the guide tried to sort it, for the amount we paid it shouldn’t have happened. The biggest disappointment for me and I think the rest of my group was that we didn’t go to Moraine Lake. When I asked the guide why she said that “it was too much of a hassle last time” and that “we probably wouldn’t have had time.” Considering it’s included in the itinerary and in photos advertising this trip that isn’t a good enough excuse especially when it’s probably the most iconic spot in the Rockies. This is the 5th intrepid trip I’ve done and the only negative experience I’ve ever had so I was overall really disappointed. My expectations were high after my winter 2018 trip to Canada with Intrepid which was one of my favourite ever travel experiences and this really failed to meet it. If this was my first trip with your company I wouldn’t be rebooking for other tours.

This trip was phenomenal! Such beautiful landscapes and great company. Katie is the best group leader we could have asked for.

This trip is a great taste-tester but very rushed - be prepared for long days of driving. The camping aspect was quite stressful and it felt reminiscent of a school camp due to the micro-management of the group. The overall organization was quite poor and a few activities weren’t available due to it being off-season. The scenery was beautiful.

Incredible trip, if you are after beautiful scenery and hikes - this one is for you! Our tour guide Heather was amazing.

Camping in Canada was a bit of a daunting prospect but our tour leader really made the whole trip incredible. The views, hikes, activities and company were the best I could have asked for…where to next?

This trip was just fantastic. The itinerary was excellent, you will see the big highlights of the national parks but also hidden places. Guide Andrew is fantastic. The group dynamic was also great. All in all: perfect 12 days. For outdoor sports fans there are so many options: Mountain biking, rafting, road biking, hiking, canoeing. A unique experience!!!

The trip was really well planned from beginning to end. Alia was such a wholesome guide through the beginning of our trip, cooking amazing meals and making sure we were having a blast at all times. The places we visited were unforgettable and all stops along the way were equally beautiful. The rafting was really fun and we definitely recommend this awesome adventure in the beautiful Kicking Horse river! We were especially surprised by our day in Wells Gray and the trip to Jasper which allowed us to see so much wildlife. A trip to remember!

The trip was amazing!! Canada is beautiful and I would recommend this trip to anyone who loves the outdoors and trying new experiences.

Our Guide Andrew made this trip something else. It was absolutely outstanding and the best trip I have had in my life so far (especially due to our great guide). I can highly recommend this trip to get an introduction into the rockies.

The best trip! Cannot fault it; camping in the most beautiful places, driving down the dreamiest roads and hiking up to the craziest view points! This trip was totally unforgettable

Gabby was an amazing tour guide and made my first camping experience a memorable one. Everything was well organized and the energy was top notch, not to mention the breathtaking views Canada has to offer

If you want to experience the natural beauty of Canada, this trip is for you! Loved every spot we visited and had a blast with my group.

The trip was really fun - there were lots of activities and the scenery was incredible. Gabby, our guide, was amazing - knowledgable, positive and willing to go out of her way to help us all.

My trip with Intrepid through the Canadian Rockies was amazing. My guide, Alia, was excellent and made this trip super enjoyable. She prepared delicious meals, informed us of great facts about what we were seeing, was super well organized and her personality was super caring and fun to be around. She always went the extra mile to make sure that we got to see and do all the things we wanted and had many great ideas and suggestions. Her hard work really made this trip amazing and I had an absolute blast! The views and sights were unbelievable! Every day was amazing and filled with so much beauty and nature. I really enjoyed all the hikes and walks we went on and really feeling like I experienced the Rockies to the fullest! Wonderful trip!

Allgemein ist die Reise sehr stressig! Am Morgen früh aufstehen und am Abend spät ins Bett. Dazwischen kochen, Zelt auf/abbauen, autofahren und ab und zu ein paar Stopps. Leider fährt man mehr Auto, als etwas von Kanada zu sehen. Wir machten nur eine Wanderung und ein paar kleine Ausflüge zu tollen Seen. Doch wir hatten 10-20min Zeit und dann mussten wir schon weiter fahren. Ich bin sehr enttäuscht von dieser Reise. Auch der Preis ist definitiv zu hoch!

AMAZING! It was a dream come true to travel through the Canadian rockies, the itinerary includes everything we wanted to do and more. Anthony was the best guide we could have asked for, his knowledge on the area, local wildlife and cooking skills were unmatched. Loved the camping aspect and made some great friends along the way. 100% recommend this trip.
