Canadian Rockies Adventure Tour - 7 Days

Frequently asked questions

• What are the sleeping arrangements like?

  We like to call if comfort camping! We use 3-4 person tents to ensure there is lots of space and headroom, so you don't feel cramped. There are also two doors and two separate areas for luggage to be kept, so it is very easy and comfortable to share a tent with someone. We pair two campers in a 3 person tent, or 3 campers in a 4 person tent, to ensure there is lots of space. Our sleeping pads are second to none. They are nice and wide, and over 6 feet long to ensure you have plenty of space. They inflate to 3 inches (7.5 cm) thick and you can opt to inflate it so it is firm or soft, depending on how you like it. The top of the mattress is a soft fabric to increase comfort as well. With these mattresses you can sleep on rocks and roots and not feel a thing, but we won't make you do that! It is common for first time guests to be concerned that they will have a hard time camping, with sore backs etc. We have actually never had someone on a camping tour that was uncomfortable and everyone has been pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they were while camping.

• I've never been camping - is this OK?

  Of course! Our tours are deisnged to be the perfect intorduction to camping for first timers, and also fun for veteran campers. We provide all the equipment and show you how to use it. If you've never set up a tent before, you will be a pro on the first night. All you really need on our tours is a thirst for adventure and a smile!

• Are there showers? What about toilets?

  We aim for showers as often as possible. Expect them most nights. (some are coin operated) There is always access throughout each day to toilets and outhouses. You won’t have to go in the bush!

• What is the food like? Can you accommodate my diet?

  The food is one of the best parts of our camping tours. Your guides go to great lengths to bring high quality groceries, much of which is organic and locally grown. You will likely be surprised what we cook up for you. Some examples include: Grilled salmon with asparagus and pesto pasta, tequila lime shrimp tacos with mango slaw, tender grilled steaks with roasted veggies and potatoes. Have a tricky diet? Don't sweat! We are probably the best company around at providing a top notch menu and we can cater to almost any diet. Many of our guides are vegans, or gluten free themselves, so it's pretty normal for us. We can accommodate vegan/ vegetarian, gluten free, kosher, halaal, wheat free, lactose intolerant and whatever else you can think of.

• How strenuous is it?

  This hiking tour is suitable for anyone reasonably fit. You should be able to walk for 2-3 hours uphill and be able to maintain a conversation. Our 2 guides are there to ensure you can hike at a comfortable pace and don’t feel rushed. Hike 8-14 km each day with moderate elevation (500-1000 m). We stop for snacks/ photos lots!

• Do I need a backpack or will a suitcase work?

  Your luggage will be transported in a trailer and you won’t have to carry it on your back so any type of luggage is just fine. We have lots of space to store your luggage in the trailer.
