What people love about Nature & Wildlife Tours in Alberta
All and all trip was good it is a very busy go go not a lot of time at all the places we stop but your get a good “appetizer” of the many things to do in these areas. Food options are not great if you’re a foodie. Most places we stop for food don’t have nice restaurants to eat at. But if you’re just really wanting to see the towns and the Rockies tons of great views just wish we had a little more time in some places. Please continue reading for my tips to future travelers. Things I think would be important things to add for type a personalities or big time planner or even people that need to budget their meals ect would be : - [ ] Hotels we stay at so food options could be researched (towns didn’t help me as much as I had hoped Lyft and Uber was near impossible to get) - [ ] Additional excursions offered at stops and their prices (like the ice skating sleigh rides ect.) - [ ] Approximated time in specific areas to help those that want to make reservations for other experiences or dinners ect - [ ] I had to specifically ask about additional excursions after booking to be sent to me. - [ ] Huge confusion between west trek tours and discover Canada tours didn’t know who to even reach out to - [ ] Typical Drive time between places and putting on list of things to bring such as snacks and waters ect - [ ] Other items to suggest to bring cough drops for dry air, tissues for runny nose, chapstick for cracked lips and lotion for cracked hands. Below are some things I would correct on the tour information so others don’t get disappointed. Check into the hotel in Vernon and make your way to SilverStar Mountain Resort for FREE snow tubing & ice skating SHOULD SAY “OR” Upon return to the hotel, option to go to the adjoining casino SHOULD SAY ACROSS STREET or pub (19+ only) or relax in the hotel pool and hot tub after an active day outside Day 2: Vernon to Banff Breakfast (included) After breakfast depart hotel Drive through the beautiful snow-capped peaks of Mount Revelstoke National Park & Glacier National Park Visit Roger's Pass National Historic Site Arrive at the world renowned Lake Louise and visit Chateau Lake Louise with the option to go ice skating, play hockey or go on a sleigh ride! (seasonal) SHOULD NOT OFFER IF NOT ALWAYS ABLE TO DO OR PUT MORE STIPULATIONS Drive to Banff and enjoy a city tour including Banff Springs Hotel, Bow Falls, Surprise Corner, and Banff Ave. SHOULD SAY VISIT ONE OF THESE OR BE MORE SPECIFIC Check into your centrally located Banff hotel Evening - Free time to go shopping on Banff Avenue or join your guide for a night of dancing Day 3: Banff to Golden Breakfast (included) Option to go on the Banff Gondola Skiers and Snowboarders depart for Lake Louise Mountain Resort. There is also the option for non-skiers to take the Lake Louise Sightseeing Gondola for amazing views of the surrounding mountains. AGAIN ONLY OFFER IF POSSIBLE OR PUT TO NOTIFY AHEAD TO COORDINATE ECT For those not skiing/snowboarding, check out of the hotel and enjoy free time to explore the town of Banff. You also have the option to participate in another exciting winter activity like dog mushing, snowshoeing, ice walking, and more! WHAT IS MORE AND DOG MUSHING WASN’T MENTIONED
4-Day Rockies Winter Explorer Tour
- Vancouver, Banff & Rockies Summer - 5 days
I was glad I decided to go on a bus tour to the Rockies. I had an enjoyable time. The tour guide Chris, was energetic, funny, very accommodating, informative, communicates very well with all the changes and plans, that they made our tour go smoothly. Not to mention our driver, Bob. I felt very safe and relaxed that he is very focused on ensuring the bus runs safely, very comfortable with his driving, and have very sharp eyes spotting a bear for us!! The accommodation was very comfortable but would have preferred to have stayed at least two nights on every accommodation to have a look around. I know that some places were quiet but being able to appreciate the scenery and place would have been good. I was glad that breakfast was included in most of our stays, and would prefer it, than rather trying to find a place to have breakfast in an unfamiliar place in the morning, and possibly lunch and dinner if the place is too small to find somewhere to have a meal. I have enjoyed the tour group I was in, and have certainly made good friends. It was a very relaxed and friendly group, and everyone got on very well with each other.
Top notch treatment. Very accommodating. Meals were very good to excellent. Gave us some options when a few excursions were rained out. Guide took time to get to know you on a personal level.
