I'm trying to find a guided tour in Canada for my son and I, would ideally like to do a mix of Trek, Kayak and Horseback riding is this something you provide happy to join as part of another group. Bit of a bucket list item so to speak I will be 56 and my son will be 19. Currently trying to get a list of options and ideas around cost.

The combination of activities you desire would be a bit awkward to find all in one destination, as the best trekking and horseback riding would be in the Rockies, while the kayaking would be on the coast. That being said, you can definitely do the best trekking and some great horseback riding on this tour with us, and I would be happy to help you find an excellent option for a kayaking trip. For our 12 day rockies tour it would be $3995 cad, plus 5% taz per person. With this tour you will explore all the best hiking trails in the Rockies, while not having to carry everything on your back. There are a few options where you can go for some sweet horseback rides to explore the mountains in a different way too. I can help you plan a trip to the coast where you can easily do some kayaking after your tour with us.

To whom it may concern, Last year at this time, I went with friend Susan Tan to Banff National Park for the 12-day hiking, it has been a wonderful life experience for me. The quality of your service is very high. Our Guide Kevin and Morgan have been so helpful. The 5-star evaluation is not enough to express my gratitude. I wish both of them, and your business, all the very best at my anniversary of Banff National Bank Hiking Trip. Best regards, Katherine WangShow more

Overall this tour was brilliant. I met some really amazing people and saw some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever laid eyes on in my life. I got to switch off from the monotony of day to day life and hike the legs off myself, pushing myself to my absolute fitness limits - which is exactly what I wanted from the trip. There wasn't too much time spent driving to our hikes which was great. There was obviously no expense spared when it came to the food provided for us and we ate really well throughout. The tour guides were super knowledgeable and generally a lot of fun - Morgan in particular made the trip for me by just being her crazy (in a good way) self. she was extremely kind and looked after us all so well. We all had some really great laughs and I will genuinely never forget the experience. As with almost anything, I believe there are some areas I would suggest could be improved upon, but I will address that privately with Fresh Adventures. Thanks again for a great trip #canadianrockiesposse2022Show more

Overall, trip was good. It was a bit intense at times with the amount and length of hikes....not an issue itself, but we were not encouraged to stop and take photos - or we wouldn't reach our destination in time! A bit of an issue because, afterall, some of us might never see these views again. The itinerary changed considerably from the original reservation and we were not notified of this until a few days before the trip - should have known well ahead, giving us the option of choice, for ex, some of us might have counted on going to Jasper or taking the gondola - which was all on the original itinerary. Hiking boots are definitely required, although the departure info stated they were not. Itinerary said even beginners could do this trip - definitely not true. I am 73yrs old hiker and managed to do the hikes, but beginners certainly could not. It's unfair to advertise it in such a manner. The intensity of the hikes was never made clear and the original info gave the indication that we would see the major sites with a fair balance between hiking and down time. Some of these are administrative issues. The leaders were wonderful overall - but a bit intense at times. Felt a little like bootcamp! Those are my reasons for giving a "good" rating.Show more

Patricia, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review of your experience with us! We definitely enjoyed having you on the tour and hope to see you again. I appreciate your honest feedback. You are correct that we had to make some changes to the tour to adapt to the constant change we've all been facing in the travel industry during and after COVID. Our philosophy is that providing as high quality an experience as possible to our guests is paramount so we decided to make the changes and still be able to run the tour, than have to cancel on everyone last minute and ruin their vacations. With this in mind, I am very proud to say that even over the last couple of challenging years we have been able to guarantee all our departures and never had to cancel a tour for any reason other than a complete national shutdown. I am also sorry the tour felt a bit like a bootcamp to you. As our guides adapt the tour to changing conditions and do their best to provide a seamless experience it can sometimes be a lot of pressure. We are constantly working as a team to improve and will take this into consideration. I am happy to say that with a guide in the front of the group and a guide in the rear, we are able to provide an environment where even completely novice hikers can feel safe and supported to come hiking and experience the mountains. There is no required skill level- just a moderate degree of fitness. We are considering updating our tour packing list to recommend hiking boots over running shoes, though after taking almost 2000 travelers on hiking tours in the Rockies we are happy to say that there have been less than half a percent of people who say that hiking boots are necessary. Thanks again for taking the time to review and please keep in touch!

This was my fave holiday EVER! I came back feeling strong, fit, healthy, and very happy! The hikes were fantastic - challenging and picturesque. The progress through the trip was great and I was delighted to complete the Cory Pass hike at the end of the trip, knowing how much fitter I was. Jafar and Kev were awesome guides. They fed us very well, made us feel safe (bears in camp!) and were super encouraging. And great fun too. Our fellow travellers were also fantastic, we made some lifelong friends. I feel I’ve been spoilt for any future group hiking trips! We would definitely travel with fresh adventures again Show more
