In order to join this Canadian Rockies tour, just basic fitness is required. No previous experience is needed, and the most you’ll walk within a day is up to 5 km (3.1 mi), on maintained paths with some stairs.

There are no hiking days on this trip. Every stop is a viewpoint, a lakeshore, or a short walk close to the vehicle, so if you’re comfortable on your feet for a few kilometers you’ll do just fine. Snacks, coffee, and drinks are in the van each day, and there’s plenty of time to take in the scenery and watch for wildlife along the way.

Often, but sightings are never guaranteed on a Canadian Rockies tour. Your guides follow Parks Canada’s rules for viewing wildlife, which means guests stay in the vehicle when animals are near the road.

Yes, we’ll visit the Takakkaw Falls on our Canadian Rockies tour when the Yoho Valley Road is open. The road can open later in June, so your guides confirm it closer to your departure date.

No. National park entry is covered while you ride with your guide.
