IMPORTANT NOTES
= This is a participatory trip. That's a fancy way of saying you're not just along for the ride – you're part of a
team! You know the phrase ‘the more you put in, the more you get out'. Well that's extra true on this trip.
Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and help out with camp activities like food prep and washing up. It's
all about giving your new travel mates a hand – everyone knows there's nothing worse than trying to put
up a tent on your own!
= That teamwork also extends to our optional food kitty of approximately CAD 100 per week, run to cover
the cost of meals. This kitty saves you worrying about stuff like where to get food or what exactly sales tax
is, and actually helps keep your costs down. Instead of paying individually as you go, it means we can bulk
purchase items and cook our own food – though there's always the chance to use it for the occasional
pizza night! 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.
= This trip covers a lot of ground, as Canada is a huge country. Please be prepared for some long days of
driving. You'll be spending a lot of time in a van with other travellers. Free space is limited, especially if
the group is full, so conditions can feel a little cramped. This is all part of the adventure though, and you
might even make some long-term friends.
= As we're travelling through the mountains, the weather can be unpredictable. We advise wearing layers at
all times of the year in case conditions change during the day. At night the temperature can really drop,
so make sure you have warm clothing with you. Camping can be especially cold at the start and end of the
season. Even in the warmer months the temperature can be low in the mountains.
= While this trip doesn't require a high level of fitness, for you to partake in all of the activities we
recommend you are at least moderately fit. If you're not able to participate in all of the hikes, you'll miss
out on some fantastic scenery, as well as the chance to see native flora and fauna.
= We recommend CAD 150 per week for meals not included during the trip.
10 / 12= Our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and don't involve a compulsory
single supplement. Single travellers share with people of the same gender in accommodation.
= Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveller. Entry requirements can change at any time, so it's
important that you check for the latest information. Please visit the relevant consular website of the
country or countries you're visiting for detailed and up-to-date visa information specific to your
nationality. Visas can take several weeks to process, so familiarise yourself with any requirements as soon
as you have booked your trip to allow for processing time and costs.
= This is a shared tour. That means that tour operators from all over the world book their guests onto this
tour. So you will be travelling in an international group.
