I am interested in this tour but I am 60 years old. Would I be able to set up camp tents and manage such a tour? Please advise.

This trip covers a lot of ground, so please be prepared for some long days of driving. You'll be travelling in a van with a group, so conditions may feel a little cramped. We think this is all part of the adventure of road travel, and friendships form fast in tight quarters. Some activities in the Rockies have flexible opening and closing dates that vary based on snowfall at higher elevations and other seasonal conditions. On departures in May, early June, September, and October, some activities like gondolas, certain mountain hikes, or rafting may be unavailable, but these shoulder season months offer the advantage of fewer crowds and a more relaxed travel experience. Your leader will have a range of alternative activity suggestions no matter the season. Mosquitoes are most active during summer months, particularly during wetter seasons and low-lying areas where standing water provides ideal breeding conditions. To protect yourself, use insect repellent (those containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus are most effective). Wear long-sleeved, light-coloured clothing especially during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. You may consider treating clothing with permethrin before you travel. As we're travelling through the mountains, the weather can be unpredictable. We advise wearing layers in all seasons in case conditions change during the day. Even in the warmer months, the temperature can be very low in the mountains. To ensure you to get the most out of the included and optional activities we recommend you are moderately fit. The hikes are a real highlight of this trip and give you access to some fantastic scenery. This is a participatory trip. That's a fancy way of saying you're not just along for the ride – you are part of a team! Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and help with camp activities like food prep and washing up. That teamwork also extends to our optional food kitty of approximately CAD 20 per day to cover the cost of meals. This kitty saves you worrying about where to get food or sales taxes and helps keep your costs down by bulk purchasing items together to cook. (Though there's always the chance to use it for the occasional dinner out!) The kitty is optional and for your convenience, so if you've got specific dietary requirements you can opt out and purchase (and cook) your own food.

Can optional activities be pre-booked and included in the initial quote?

The optional activities cannot be pre-booked or included in the initial quote. All optional experiences are arranged locally during the tour, as they depend on the day-to-day schedule, weather conditions, and availability. You will be able to discuss and book any preferred activities directly with our local tour leader once the trip has started.

Could you please indicate where the camping sites are located for each stop of this tour? We would like to understand if they are located at the actual National parks so we can enjoy the views of the park and easy access to trails.

Accommodation details include: Vancouver: Joining/Finishing Point: Inn at the Quay, Whistler: Riverside Campground, Wells Gray Provincial Park: Wells Gray Guest Ranch, Wells Gray Overnight Canoe - Camping on Clearwater Lake, Jasper: Whistlers Campground, Banff: Tunnel Mountain Village 1, Golden: Golden Riverfront Campground, Salmon Arm: Sandy Point Campground.

Would like to extend this trip to cover a few more places so would need assistance

5 star accommodation at hotels? Small group? Temperature to understand what clothing suits? Boots required? Flights from Sydney? Return?

This is a Basix style trip, so accommodation includes: 2 nights camping with basic facilities, 11 nights camping with facilities, 1 night in a hotel. Group Size: This is a small group tour, with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12 travelers. Clothing & Temperature: If traveling during shoulder months (April, May, September, October), temps can dip below freezing at night - so bring extra cold-weather gear. Footwear: We recommend bringing closed-in hiking shoes. Flights from Sydney: Flights are not included in the tour price. You'll need to book your own flights to and from Canada.

want to do this trip in 2026. please advise when the 2026 dates be published? i am interested in going late july or august

We should have our 2026 dates up very soon on the Tour Radar's website. We will reach out once they are loaded. We are pleased to offer a complimentary hold on the trip for 48 hours, after which a deposit of 200 is required to confirm your space.

Do I need to make separate payments if I'm booking for more than one person?

If you are booking for multiple people, you can make payments together or separately. If paid separately, ensure to coordinate with us to link your bookings.

What if my arrival city is different from the tour starting point?

If your arrival city differs from the tour's start location, you will be responsible for arranging your own transportation to the meeting point. It is advisable to plan accordingly and allow sufficient time for travel.

Are the flights not included in the price? What is the additional cost for 1 person?

The tours we offer don't include international airfare, as travellers can join any of the trips from many different countries. A single supplement is an additional 370.00 EUR and confirmation is subject to availability.

I can't find information on what kind of luggage to bring - can I use suitcase? And suggestions of what clothing to bring.

All luggage is carried in trailers or inside the vehicle so please don't bring more than one medium sized bag, backpack or suitcase (20kg/44lb maximum) per person. Your suitcase/rucksack may get some rough handling, so make sure it's a tough one. A small daypack with your water bottle and camera may be carried with you inside the vehicle.

Overall, the Canadian Rockies are breathtaking, and the natural beauty was the true value of our trip. However, our experience was repeatedly spoiled by our Intrepid guide, S. W. She lacked the necessary experience, was unhelpful, and lacked basic knowledge of Canada’s attractions and history. Her attitude was rude, self-centered, and authoritarian.As experienced travelers who have taken numerous organized tours, we have never encountered such poor service. While the guide’s behavior was unacceptable, we ultimately hold Intrepid responsible for appointing an unqualified individual to lead a highly expensive, once-in-a-lifetime trip.Specific issues we encountered included:Lack of Knowledge & Guidance: From day one, she was unfamiliar with the tour itinerary. Her instructions were consistently unclear. She could not provide basic information about trails or activities, often resort to reading informational signs aloud to us rather than offering guiding insights.Disregard for Passenger Well-being: She offered no specialized support or consideration for the several passengers over the age of 60 on our tour.Inappropriate Demands: She treated the group like servants. She made us dismantle her personal camping tent and load her gear into the van. On one occasion, she forced the group to stop relaxing after a short 45-minute rest at the beach to begin cooking at 4:30 PM solely because she explicitly stated she was hungry.Inefficient Time Management: She forced the group to prepare overly complex meals that required extensive cooking and cleanup time. This directly stripped away hours we should have spent exploring the Rockies. Furthermore, she routinely scolded the group, telling us we needed to be "more efficient leaving the van."On the final day, the guide admitted that her previous Intrepid group also complained about her service. It is highly disappointing that Intrepid allowed these performance issues to impact a second group of paying customers.We did not receive the experience, service, or support expected for a trip of this scale and price. We are happy to provide further details and expect a formal response from management regarding how this will be resolved.Show more

The Canadian Rockies are absolutely stunning, but our experience was severely spoiled by our Intrepid guide, Sophie W. She was highly unprofessional, inexperienced, and treated our tour group with an authoritarian attitude. While she is at fault, Intrepid Travel is ultimately responsible for sending an untrained guide on a very expensive, complex itinerary.As experienced travelers, we have never encountered service this poor. From day one, she was completely ignorant of the itinerary, trails, and local history. She offered no support to the senior travelers in our group. Instead, she treated us like personal help—making us pack up her tent, load her gear, and cook heavy meals exactly when she demanded it (once forcing us to cook at 4:30 PM because she was hungry, ruining our beach rest). She openly admitted that her previous tour group had also complained about her, meaning Intrepid knew she was underperforming and still assigned her to our group.We did not get the premium experience or support we paid for. It was a deeply disappointing trip, and we are currently seeking a formal resolution from management. Avoid this tour unless Intrepid ensures better vetting for their guides.Show more

After paying more than CAD 4800 , the facilities were so poor and lacking. I was wrongly told that basic camping will be only for two days .Even in basic camping the water and charging facilities were at a distance of more than half a km. This was not expected from Tour Radar and Intrepid Travels. I have traveled with you earlier also but was never cheated. Anyway thanks for your hospitality.Show more

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, JC. We're sorry to hear that the camping facilities didn't meet your expectations and that you left feeling disappointed. Our Canadian Rockies trip includes two nights of camping with basic facilities, alongside a further eleven nights of camping at sites with facilities. We endeavour to be transparent about the style of accommodation our travellers can expect by outlining this within both the day-by-day itinerary and the accommodation section of our trip notes prior to departure, including the facilities that are generally available at the campsites used throughout the trip. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, as it helps us understand where expectations may not have aligned with travellers' experiences. Thank you again for travelling with us, we hope you have many more exciting adventures ahead.

  Some activities in the Rockies have flexible opening and closing dates that vary based on snowfall at higher elevations and other seasonal conditions.

(Though there's always the chance to use it for the occasional dinner out!) The kitty is optional and for your convenience, so if you've got specific dietary requirements you can opt out and purchase (and cook) your own food.

I can't find information on what kind of luggage to bring - can I use suitcase? And suggestions of what clothing to bring.
Tour Details
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2024
  All luggage is carried in trailers or inside the vehicle so please don't bring more than one medium sized bag, backpack or suitcase (20kg/44lb maximum) per person. Your suitcase/rucksack may get some rough handling, so make sure it's a tough one. A small daypack with your water bottle and camera may be carried with you inside the vehicle.
