    Pauline

    Asked on January 2nd, 2026

    My daughter is 17 years old would she be accepted on tours that say 18+?

    Age Range
    • ContikiOperatorWritten January 2026

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate. As you are outside this age range, you would not be eligible to join the trip. However, we have several sister brands that offer fantastic travel experiences from 5 years old and above age restrictions: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.

    Asked on August 1st, 2024

    I was hoping to book this tour in for the next couple of weeks but as it includes Jasper I wanted to ask if the tour is modified around the wild fires and would we move to another town instead or are the tours cancelled due to this?

    Travel Support
    • ContikiOperatorWritten August 2024

      Jasper National Park has extended its closure until August 6, 2024. Some of our tour departures are impacted, including in Canada and the Rockies. As a workaround, all of the departed tours were rerouted.

    Asked on July 9th, 2022

    What age range is this tour the most appropriate for? We are both 56 but are fit. We don't ski or snowboard but would be happy to canoe and raft down a river and possibly zip line. Can we whale watch as part of this trip or can you recommend a stop off for us after Vancouver?
