I'm super interested in this tour but I start work back up on July 13. Is going from like July 4 to July 11 an option?

We currently have a departure available from 6 July to 13 July. Please note that availability is limited, and this departure is nearly sold out.

How many miles of hiking each day?

Day 1: 11 km return Day 2: Hiking 1 of either Crypt Lake (20km) or Carthew Summit Trail (20km) Day 3: 3.5 km Day 4: 16 km Day 5: No included hike scheduled - choose your own adventure Day 6: 9 km Day 7: 20 km Day 8: No hiking

How hard is hike of scale from 1-10? do you have picture of campground?

The difficulty we rate this tour is a 4/5. In your case an 8/10. Some examples of campsites are: Waterton Townsite Campground, Boulton Creek Campground, Lake Louise Campground. We do not have any photos to provide but these campsites have many online.

I'm considering joining this tour for the 28 July group. I'll know exact dates I'm in the region. How soon do you expect this group to be full? I'm an avid hammock camper. I'm wondering if it is possible (trees available) during this tour.

The July 28 departure still has 9 spaces available. You can place a 48hr hold on the tour. Hammock camping is possible at Boulton Creek Campground and Lake Louise Campground, though Waterton Townsite Campground is less forested.

I am interested in this trip to join with my son, he is 20 years old. My son wants to know if there are bookings with people from his age. And I have a bit fear of heights, do you think this might give some troubles?

This tour is ideal for travellers of all ages, although he may be the youngest. On this specific departure, only one other traveller is confirmed so far, and they are born in the 1990s. Regarding heights, this shouldn't be too much of an issue - if you want to opt out of any activities you are able to do that locally if needed.

I want visit to canada for tourism purpose. I will apply visit visa as soon but i need tourism pakage booking Documents apply for visa.

We can only provide documents that show you are doing a tour with ourselves once you have paid for and confirmed you space on a specific tour.

In sep there seems to be only 1 date will there be more tours later? If we book only 2 people tour but later 3rd person wants to join - can you accomodate us in same room or should that person choose twin-sharing? How active is this adventure as we are not too sure about hiking trekking - is it extensive? Walking is not an issue at all.

We only plan on running one tour in the month of September, and currently have four spaces remaining. The tour would be twin share so if a third traveller did wish to join, they would be required to twin share with another traveller or add a single supplement to ensure they have their own room. It is an active tour, category 4 out of 5, meaning that it is demanding but suitable for most fitness levels.

how long are the hikes each day; do you have another tour that provides non-camping lodging?

we got the Canadian Rockies Tour, which would be with Hotel accommodation.

how strenuous are the hikes

This tour has a physical rating of 4/5, so it is demanding. There are some high-altitude hikes or more strenuous activities, but accessible to most healthy travellers. The most difficult being the Bertha Lake Trail hike on day 1 due to the switchbacks. It is a total of 11km and has a steep climb.

Please provide how many miles hiking per day during the tour

Day 1: 11km return Day 2: Hiking 1 of either Crypt Lake (20km) or Carthew Summit Trail (20km) Day 3: 3.5km Day 4: 16km Day 5: No included hike scheduled - choose your own adventure Day 6: 9km Day 7: 20km Day 8: No hiking

It was a fantastic trip that does what it says on the tin. The hikes were great we saw some incredible views that were worth the effort to get there. I really enjoyed the participation aspect of camping and we had a lovely group where everyone equally put in effort to make it work. Food was surprisingly great! Perfect for hiking fuel and we even had cause for a birthday cake. Our tour leader Fred was great, he kept the vibe going, had a lot of knowledge of the hikes and area. I would definitely recommend this tour.Show more

  I noticed all dates are sold out on the website but still see availability. Is this just an error on tourradar's site?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2024
  The best way to ensure your space is to create a hold on your spots. It's complimentary and valid for 48 hours. The July 28th departure is available but will likely go on request soon.

  Traveler•Written June 2024
  What does 'this will likely go on request soon and it will be a different process to book' mean?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2024
  Tours go on request around 1 month in advance. Our local office must check availability on components like accommodation, internal flights, day trips. This can take 3-5 days to confirm, so we recommend booking as far in advance as possible.

  Can you tell me if there booked more younger travellers on the trip starting on Sunday 28th of Juli? Or on Friday the 2nd of August? Can you tell me if there is a minimum group size?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2024
  The other two departure dates mentioned only have one or two travellers confirmed so far as well, and these are born in the 1950s-70s. We would generally advise not to worry too much about the other travellers, as this is an active tour it does often attract travellers of all ages. The maximum is 12 people per group on this trip.

  So for booking do we have to take twin sharing or triple sharing as we are a group of 3. Alternatively can 2 people book first. When the 3rd person decides he will select twin sharing(cannot pay single price) - will that be allowed?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written May 2023
  Our tours are based on twin share rooming. If you have an odd number of travellers in your party, let us know if you/someone would be happy sharing with another solo traveller of the same gender on the tour free of charge or If you would prefer to add a single supplement, we can do so for an additional $359 USD. The single supplement can be added after booking but is subject to availability and can sell out.
