    Harry

    Asked on September 29th, 2025

    Travelling from Australia and need to be in Boston for a wedding on 19 September. Can travel either side, probably solo but not sure if my brother and his son will join us. I'm in my aged 67 and good at walking for a few klm a day but not so good climbing or rocky terrains. Is this trip suitable for us?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperatorWritten September 2025

      The Journeys: Discover the Canadian Rockies trip is designed with an Average activity level. This means it generally involves walking tours in towns and national parks, plus some optional hikes. For example, there is a guided walk on the Athabasca Glacier and opportunities for light hikes in Jasper and Banff National Parks. These can involve uneven terrain, but all the more challenging activities are optional—you could always choose gentler alternatives. Based on what you've shared (comfortable walking a few kilometres a day, but preferring to avoid climbing or rocky paths), this trip could still be a good fit, as long as you're happy to skip or take easier options when the terrain looks too demanding. The tour also includes plenty of scenic drives, lake visits, and cultural stops that don't require strenuous activity. One important consideration is timing. The trip is 12 days and ends in Vancouver, so you'd want to allow a couple of extra days to comfortably fly on to Boston for your wedding on 19 September. We can certainly look at departure dates that align with this schedule.

      Is there a waitlist for the July 2025 Heart of the Canadian Rockies and Alaska Cruise? What would be the cost for a solo traveller in a double room?

    • We do not book cruises, you will need to contact National Geographic Expeditions with Lindblad to speak about cruises. We only book National Geographic Journeys.
