Canadian Rockies Tours & Vacations

‘There’s no way that’s not Photoshopped’...

This is what your friends will say when you show them your Canadian Rockies travel pics. This mighty mountain range is a (huge) segment of the Rocky Mountains which spans 3000 miles from British Columbia to New Mexico . It’s home to four national parks – Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho – and some of North America ’s most breathtaking scenery. Think impossibly blue lakes, sprawling glaciers and ice fields, and ink-blank skies occasionally graced with the Northern Lights . If you like the sound of trekking in the shadows of snow-dusted peaks, standing in the mist of some of Canada ’s tallest waterfalls or canoeing to a secluded beach to camp under the stars, then a Canadian Rockies trip has your name all over it.

Canadian Rockies travel FAQs

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

How to get to the Canadian Rockies

There are a few ways you can get to the Canadian Rockies depending on where you're travelling from.

The easiest (and quickest) way is to fly to Calgary, about an hour and a half from Banff National Park. (Most of our Rockies trips begin in Calgary or Vancouver, anyway). You can then hire a car at the airport or jump on a shuttle bus to Banff.

You could also fly to Edmonton, which is about a four hour drive away from Banff and Jasper.

How do I get around the Canadian Rockies?

Covering almost 77,000 square miles across Alberta and British Columbia, the best way to get around the Canadian Rockies is to join a tour or drive.

If you've flown into Calgary (the closest airport to Banff National Park), you can hire a vehicle from several car rental companies and continue your journey to the Rockies.

Without a car, you may struggle to travel around the region's national parks.

When is the best time to visit the Canadian Rockies?

The best time to visit the Canadian Rockies depends on the activities you want to do. Summer is for kayaking, swimming, hiking and camping, while winter calls for ice skating, dog sledding and skiing down Canada's best slopes. Winter also offers a chance to see the Northern Lights.

The summer (June through August) is the peak season in the Rockies thanks to the milder weather, which also means higher accommodation prices and more people on the trails. Try going in the 'shoulder' months of April, May, September or October for a balance of good weather and smaller crowds.

What do I pack for a trip to the Canadian Rockies?

Packing for a trip to the Canadian Rockies is similar to packing for a trip anywhere. What you pack largely depends on the time of year you're travelling.

If you're going in winter, pack appropriate weather clothing such as gloves, beanies, waterproof jackets, long pants etc.

If you're travelling in summer, pack sunscreen, a sunhat, t-shirts, dresses, and shorts.

You should also pack the essentials: a camera, a reusable drink bottle, and a backpack/day bag.

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travelers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Carving out a route through the Rocky Mountains wasn't easy. Early pioneers had to lay rails on steep switchbacks and blast through rock with dynamite. But they persevered. And their efforts resulted in a track that hugs pine-clad slopes and clings to the mountainside. It twists and turns through view after stunning view. This Vancouver-to-Banff train route is a vital part of Canada's history. And it gets you so much closer to the wilderness than any road trip ever could.

From your seat, see ice-blue glacier lakes, alpine forests and dramatic rock formations. There's no better way to immerse yourself in the wild backcountry of the Canadian Rockies .

#2 Travel tip: Winter train trip

VIA Rail trains operate year-round. So, if you’re looking to visit the Canadian Rockies in winter, you can travel to Jasper by sleeper train from Vancouver or Toronto.

Blog Author - Hannah Poaros-Mcdermott

Sleeper Train, VIA Rail 

One option for your Canadian Rockies train travel is the Sleeper train. Sleeper Class is available on The Canadian between Vancouver and Toronto. You can go all the way from coast to coast or choose to stop in Jasper or Winnipeg. Jasper is where you would disembark for your Canadian Rockies adventure.

There are three service levels on The Canadian train: Economy, Sleeper Plus, and Prestige. Both Sleeper Plus and Prestige classes are recommended if you are spending a long time on the train.

Alaska Cruise - suggested add-on

Choose a larger, more luxurious vessel or a smaller ship that allows you to visit more coves and inlets. Each type of ship has its advantages, so it depends on your style of travel and what you want to get out of your Alaska cruise adventure.

Where are the Canadian Rockies located?

The Canadian Rockies cover parts of northern British Columbia and Alberta. The Canadian Rocky Mountain UNESCO World Heritage Site is made up of seven parks. Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho national parks. Mount Robson, Mount Assiniboine and Hamber provincial parks.

When is the best time to visit the Canadian Rockies?

The best time to visit the Canadian Rockies is the fall, but they are a great destination year-round. Each season offers a different experience, so the ideal time depends on what you'd like to see and do. To see snow-covered peaks and frozen lakes and go skiing or snowshoeing, head to the Rockies between December and February. Spring and summer months bring ideal hiking and wildlife viewing conditions. With warm temperatures and sunshine, June, July, and August are the most popular months to visit. For those who want a quieter experience, travelling to the Rockies in September and October is ideal. Larch trees change from green to yellow during mid to late September. If you would love to witness the mesmerising fall colours, this is the perfect time to go.

How much does a Canadian Rockies train trip cost?

Canadian Rockies train trip prices vary. Our Complete Canadian Rockies by Rail itinerary starts from $4,180 USD per person. Pricing includes transfers, hotels, and some meals and activities. Reach out to one of our Canadian Train Vacation Advisors to discuss a Rockies trip that suits your preferences and budget.

How tall are the Canadian Rockies?

Mount Robson, at 3,954 metres (12,972 feet) tall, is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.

How can you see the Canadian Rockies?

You can get to the Canadian Rockies by train or vehicle. You can fly to Vancouver, Edmonton or Calgary, then make the journey to Banff, Jasper or Lake Louise. There are so many ways to explore the Canadian Rockies. Enjoy sightseeing tours, lake cruises, mountain gondolas, alpine hiking and more.

Schedule a call with one of our Vacation Advisors to learn more about Canadian Rockies train excursions.

Can you drive through the Canadian Rockies?

Yes, you can drive the Trans Canada Highway through the Canadian Rockies. Between Banff and Lake Louise, the Bow Valley Parkway is a more scenic driving route. The Icefields Parkway between Banff National Park and Jasper National Park is beautiful.

Is Whistler in the Canadian Rockies?

Whistler is in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia and is not part of the Canadian Rockies. Whistler is about a two-hour drive from the city of Vancouver.

Which train ride is best through the Canadian Rockies?

If you are looking to enjoy a daylight train ride through the Canadian Rockies, then a Rocky Mountaineer journey is best. If you want to experience sleeping on the train as you travel to the Rockies, then choose VIA Rail’s Canadian train. Our Ultimate Rockies Rail Journey includes both trains.

How long do you need in the Canadian Rockies?

The amount of time you need to fully experience the Canadian Rockies depends on your interests and the specific places you want to visit. A minimum of 4-7 days is recommended to see the highlights of the Canadian Rockies, though you can easily spend two weeks exploring this area.

History of Guided Tours in the Canadian Rockies

Guided tours in the Canadian Rockies run throughout the year regardless of the season. The Canadian Rockies become more and more dramatic and beautiful as the year progresses, making any time of year an ideal time to explore. With high peaks of shale and limestone, much of which are inside protected national and provincial parks, large parts of the Canadian Rockies also have World Heritage Status . This entire region was first explored during the early 1800s as explorers and traders forged paths through the mountains to open up trade routes.

Guides of the Canadian Rockies have existed since the early 1920s. Since then, locals, Canadians, and tourists from further afield have been captivated by this mountainous region and have longed to explore it. The introduction of guided tours during the 1950s and 60s opened up much of the Rockies to those who are not avid hikers or climbers. Today, guided tours take the form of short to day long hikes, longer treks across the peaks, tours via bus, or bicycle to name a few. 

The Canadian Rockies By Region

There are 5 directional regions, based off the centrally located Banff National Park, that follow the spine of the Canadian Rockies. These regions are further divided into the 7 National Parks. At the heart of the Rockies is Banff National Park, which was Canada’s first National Park. All regions within the Canadian Rockies boast untouched nature, pristine blue-green lakes, snow-capped mountains, enchanting forests and of course incredible wildlife. With each region offering something a little different, you will find a great tour while there.

Central Region

Banff, the oldest National Park in Canada, covers 2564 square miles (6640 square kilometres) of the Canadian Rockies.

Within the National Park are many spectacular skiing hills. Banff is an UNESCO World Heritage Site, and has excellent plant and animal diversity.

North Region

Jasper is the largest National Park in the Canadian Rockies, covering an area of 4335 square miles (11,228 square kilometres).

It’s beauty and geological importance had Jasper named an UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

East Region

tours of canadian rockies

The river running through the National Park gave Kananaskis its name. This park covers 1544 square miles (4000 square kilometres) of wild land parks and ecological preserves. Kananaskis is well-known for its scenic mountain drives leading to many pristine, blue-green bodies of water. 

West Region

tours of canadian rockies

Yoho National Park covers 507 square miles (1313 square kilometres). Endangered pine trees pack the National Park. It has many sheer vertical rock walls.

South Region

tours of canadian rockies

Waterton is a significant place for Niitsitapi and other indigenous peoples. This staggeringly beautiful area is the smallest National Park in the Canadian Rockies at just 195 square miles (505 square kilometres).

Jasper National Park – Majestic Mountains and Abundant Wildlife

As Jasper is the second largest Dark Sky Preserve in the world, there should be no surprise that one of the best tours to do involves the night sky. Likewise with all areas in the Canadian Rockies, Jasper can be explored individually or with an expert on a guided tour. Here are two we recommend for your visit. 

Jasper Hikes & Tours 

tours of canadian rockies

Jasper Hikes and Tours is a great place to start your Canadian Rockies adventure. On your tour you will learn about the geology of Jasper, its history and ecology. 

Jasper’s tours are divided into three main categories; summer hikes, climbing and winter adventure. 

One of Jasper Hikes and Tours most popular packages is their Wildlife and Hike package that is available in May, June and September. The timings of the tours and the months selected are directed by the wildlife activity. 

During this unique tour, which is suitable for the whole family, head out on the trail in search of the characteristic fauna within the area. Each hike can vary depending on season and wildlife search location, and the guide running your trip. On your hike you have the chance to see new families emerging across the park, including bear cubs and baby moose. 

Jasper Planetarium 

tours of canadian rockies

A planetarium may not be the first place you think of to book a tour or a National Park with, however Jasper Planetarium offers one of Canada’s most incredible and unique tour experiences.

The Jasper Planetarium Constellation Binocular Tour is a must for anyone interested in the night sky. Suitable for ages 4 and up, and lasting a pleasant 50 minutes, head out at night with your specialist Dark Sky host to observe something incredible.

Your host will take you and your tour group to a specially-selected part of the dark sky site within walking distance of the Jasper Fairmont Hotel .

Binoculars are provided to help you get a closer view of the constellations, milky way, and deep space objects. 

Kananaskis National Park Tours – Beauty In The Foothills

Head out on a tour into Kananaskis Park to be completely surrounded by incredible wild land park. Tours of the Canadian Rockies through Kananaskis reveal a treasure-trove of natural beauty. As the park is one large ecological preserve, expect to see a wide variety of native flora and fauna on your tour. 

Boundary Ranch

tours of canadian rockies

Boundary Ranch is a tour like no other. Instead of heading out on foot or on a traditional tour bus, why not take in the majestic sites around you from a horse drawn sleigh?

The best time to take a horse drawn sleigh ride through Kananaskis is during winter for that truly quintessential sleigh ride experience. Huddle under a blanket and get lost in your winter wonderland. The land surrounding Boundary Ranch is overlooked by towering mountains and is bordered by thick forests of pine. Your sleigh ride has a stopping point at the Buffalo viewing paddock where you can observe, and of course photograph, Canada’s largest land animal. 

Boundary Ranch tours also take in their Teepee Village which showcases local Native Heritage. Once back at the ranch enjoy a marshmallow or S’more roast around the bonfire. 

Boundary Ranch does not provide blankets, however small lap blankets can be rented. For the ultimate cosy experience back your own. 

The ride itself takes between 30 and 45 minutes, and includes a warming cup of hot chocolate or coffee. In addition to your ticket, extras including marshmallows or S’mores to roast around the bonfire, an Irish twist in your coffee or hot chocolate, and any additional drinks can be purchased. 

For fans of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, The Ice Queen, Frozen, or simply the romance of being on a horse drawn sleigh, this is a great way to see some of Canada’s beauty. 

Kootenay National Park Tours – The Gateway into the Canadian Rockies

Exploring the unique landscape of Kootenay can be done in the traditional way (by bus or on foot) or through something a little more unusual.  

Scootin Koots

Canadian Rockies 7 day Small Groups National Parks Tour

The tour and itinerary were really great. Unfortunately the guides didn't stick to the itinerary and we missed our some places. I felt that the guides saw this tour more as a vacation for themselves and not as a job. Moreover did they choose things they wanted to do and places they wanted to see and we just had to go with it. So we were taken the chance to see Jasper and the and the hot springs. Neither did we visit China Town in Vancouver eventhough we had lots of time on either days the weather was great and we arrived way too early at our hotels. It seemed like the guides skipped those places because THEY didn't want to see it. All over I would say the customer service on this tour was very low since the guides didn't do any effort to make us happy give us different options and I honestly have the feeling they saw it as a vacation for themselves. Since they were into nature and hiking and not into other stuff we skipped some things which in my point of view is a big no go. Besides that I never had the feeling they would care much about the people on the bus and are just interested into the next hiking place they could go .Due to that I would NOT RECOMMEND this company. If you like the itinerary choose another provider . I will NEVER book this company again. I had already lots of tours all over the world but in customer service this one was the worst. Besides that the Clearwater lodge is horrible the ceiling is broken there's stains all over the place furniture /sheets. The entire hotel is in a horrible condition. The Vancouver hotel is right next to a night club so it's super loud all night long. The other accommodations were great. Still over all I am dissatisfied with the tour.

The tour is run well and the scenery really makes it worth it. There is a lot of time in the bus but that is too be expected and it is broken up well. The included meals and activities are lacking though and the trip is definitely weather dependent so should maybe have more back up plans otherwise.

Canadian Rockies Express Tour

Itinerary was great, scenery was beautiful, and our guide was fun. I was the only male in the group with my wife and 11 other females and it worked out fine. Everyone was very congenial, and the diversity of the group added to the experience. Only thing I would change would be the accommodations in Vancouver. While the hotel was fine it was very far from the downtown and sights, so we spent most of our time the last day in the van in traffic. Overall, it was a fantastic trip.

Reviews of Fully Guided Tours in Canadian Rockies

Tour guide was excellent. Not happy with your advertising as it really is only 5 days of sightseeing. Some hotels were a distance from places to eat.
Just returned from the 5 day Premium tour of the Rockies. What an amazing trip! We traveled in a very comfortable bus under the guidance of of our exceptional guide Richelle. Richelle was a wealth of knowledge sharing interesting information on each area we visited, we learnt so much from her about the areas we explored. The trip follows absolutely breathtaking landscapes. The accommodation choices were wonderful and it was good having this all organised, made the holiday a breeze for us . It was spectacular having breakfast organised at the top of the gondola in Banff , felt very special as well as all the other adventures Richelle took us on. Having the tour all organised for us took the stress out of us having to organise things , we had the adventure of a life time and loved every moment. Highly recommend this tour if you have limited time and want to visit as much as possible between Vancouver and Banff.
This was a good trip with beautiful views and awesome hiking. BUT, there is a lot of driving. A lot of driving. New hotel every night except one two night stay. Many hours everyday driving in a full van, not all that comfortable. We often left around 7:30 and did not arrive to our new location until 5-6 p.m. While these days included short stops and hikes it was still 5 to 6 hours of driving most days.

Start your journey in the iconic Elk Island National Park, a sanctuary of rolling woodlands and meadows dotted with lakes, bogs, and ponds. It was originally established as a fenced-in reserve in 1906 to save some of Western Canada’s most iconic species, including the then critically endangered elk. Over the decades, the elk population recovered, and the reserve grew into the stunning Elk Island National Park. You’ll enjoy a tour of the park, learn its history, and see its boisterous bison herd.

After lunch on your own, visit Royal Alberta Museum, a world-class institution devoted to the research and preservation of Alberta’s human and natural history.

Its pieces range from natural history specimens and cultural artifacts to fine artwork. (B)

Today you’ll experience Jasper National Park, the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies. Its landscape covers an expansive region of rugged backcountry and mountainous terrain across numerous protected ecosystems, including the world-renowned Columbia Icefield.

Lobstick Lodge or similar

Your next stop is Peyto Lake, where significant amounts of glacial rock flour were deposited into the water from the nearby Peyto Glacier. These suspended rock particles, sometimes called glacial milk, give the lake a bright blue-green color.

"This was a totally awesome and magnificent tour. Our first with Caravan and now certainly not our last, we couldn’t be more pleased. It went way above all our expectations. Extremely great value. Most spectacular place we have ever visited with the possible exception of the Grand Canyon. Timing of all the stops was excellent. Day after day we were amazed beyond words by the beauty of the sites visited. Don’t omit any stops. Information, history, stories and jokes from our director were outstanding, the most awesome we have ever had. She helped everyone on our bus in one way or another. I would love to have her on every tour and we would recommend this tour over and over." Mr. & Mrs. D.G., Greenwood, Indiana
"This was our 7th Caravan tour. Needless to say, we keep coming back because we have great experiences on Caravan tours. Our lives are enriched on every tour by the places we visit and by the people we meet. The places we went, the things we saw, and the activities we experienced fulfilled my expectations for this trip. In every direction, the scenery was stunning...so beautiful. There were plenty of great activities such as the float on the Bow River, walking on the glacier, the cruise to Goat Haunt and the Peace Park, the gondola in Banff, the Red Jammer tour in Glacier...everything. Yet, there was enough time to explore on our own." Mr. C.R., Lebanon, Pennsylvania
"This tour was so much fun and sold us on Caravan. This was our first Caravan tour following multiple trips with numerous other companies, including a previous one to the Canadian Rockies with another company. For the money, the Caravan Tour is a thorough and very enjoyable tour, good accommodations and an excellent value. Couldn’t believe what quality we got for such a low cost! As each day passed, the sights became more and more impressive, the mountains higher and more snow capped, culminating in the Columbia Icefield. Despite the cold, we were so happy that our director did everything on our itinerary. He was our all time favorite tour guide. So well-organized, professional, amiable and well-versed in the Canadian Rockies. Every day had its special moments, a complete itinerary. We had a wonderful time! We were pleased with every accommodation where we stayed. Great accommodations for comfort, accessibility, and service. Loved the Jasper House cabins and Banff Lodge." Mr. & Mrs. W.H., Berea, Ohio
"A very refreshing, nature-filled trip. Excellent, beautiful scenery was absolutely breathtaking. In AWE of the views at Lake Moraine and Lake Louise. Although the weather was not typical for the time of our visit, we loved every bit of the variety of cold, snow, rain, and sun that we experienced. Loved the Red Jammer Road to the Sun. River rafting in the snow was fabulous. Glacier field was breathtaking. Ample time for rest and photo stops of views to have as cherished memories of this tour." Mr. & Mrs. D.W., Vacherie, Louisiana
"A special family trip to celebrate my husband’s retirement. Loved the tour in full. The best trip I have ever taken. Just loved it. Our sightseeing and activities could not have been better. The Rockies were great. I enjoyed every activity and this is why I chose Caravan Canadian Rockies tour. Each day just got better and better. Everyday we kept saying “can’t get any better” and every day we were wrong. Just gorgeous. We got to see a lot but didn’t feel rushed, it was just right. The trip was broken up and we were able to stretch when tired of traveling. Our director was exceptional. The added knowledge of the area complemented each and every sight that we got to see. Words cannot begin to express our director’s expertise and his presentational skills, the best ever. I will use Caravan again." Mrs. & Mr. S.L., Murrysville, Pennsylvania
"It was our first Caravan tour. We were amazed at how smoothly it all went. We were awestruck by the scenery and by the friendly ambiance of our travel group. We were glad to have walking available to whatever extent we wanted or could manage. Loved the wide range of offerings, rafting, gondola, Red Jammer ride, awesome scenery, seeing the stampede grounds. Excellent to have rotation of seats!! A smooth, expertly ride with local info and a tidy coach, our driver was a true gentleman. A very wide range of places to stay and something for everyone in the group, well done!" Mr. & Mrs. P.W., Polo, Illinois
"Without a doubt, this was the best tour I have been on. Worth every dollar. The sights were the most beautiful I have ever seen and the stops, attractions, guides, free time, and overall schedule was just perfect. Perfect selection of activities and free time. Where to start! The cruise on Waterton Lake and dinner with friends was great. Our guide on the boat did a great job explaining everything we were seeing. The Red Jammer ride and Sun Highway and everything associated with that day was absolutely amazing. The drivers were outstanding and the scenery and wildlife was breathtaking. While we experienced fog going up Sulphur Mountain on the gondola, the views at the top were out of this world. Then the fog lifted and what a sight! All the other stops like Lake Louise and the many waterfalls were great additions to the trip. I would have not wanted to miss any of them. We saw so much more than I expected and I think because of the way our TD managed the tour and the group, we all developed personal relationships with each other early on in the tour and the entire group worked together to make sure no one was left out. Everything went just like clockwork and we had nothing to think about except to enjoy and take in the beauty of the country. Leave the work to Caravan! Another great tour, thanks!!" Mr. W.S., Dayton, Ohio

Inspiring the imagination....

Among the many modes of transportation on our Grand Canadian Rockies journey, the floatplane excursion from Vancouver to Victoria is often cited as guests' favorite. Flightseeing takes you over the pristine Gulf Islands, numbering more than 200, en route to Victoria – easily identified from the air by its remarkably winding coastline.

Overnight rail journey aboard "The Canadian"

Behind the scenes of a legendary journey by rail....

The idea in the 1870s was to forge a railway connection between Canada's eastern provinces and British Columbia; the problem was the spectacular Canadian Rockies that stood in the way, a railway-builder's nightmare of soaring peaks and plunging grades that made a straightforward approach impossible. The solution the Canadian Pacific Railway settled on was an ingenious idea borrowed from the railway builders of the Swiss Alps, a network of tracks and tunnels that spiraled around and through the mountains instead of trying to climb over them, significantly reducing the grade (and the danger) of the route, while creating a somewhat whimsical, mind-bending warren through Kicking Horse Pass, where the back of a train can sometimes encounter its front, as it winds along its overlapping route.

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

An enduring tradition of hospitality....

Built 100 years ago, the iconic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is surrounded by soaring mountain peaks, majestic Victoria Glacier and a glistening emerald lake... Located in Alberta's Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the beautiful resort hotel is recognized globally for an enduring tradition of hospitality excellence along with progressive environmental stewardship and responsible tourism. Well-appointed guest rooms, fine dining and a fabulous spa complement endless outdoor recreational activities including hiking, canoeing, horseback riding, fishing, mountain biking and river rafting.

Each day was an adventure, with new sights and opportunities to explore and learn... it was great experiencing mother nature in her glory.

About Booking This Tour

Travel Documents

If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally, you will need a passport valid for six months beyond the completion of your Tauck journey to enter Canada. Click here for more information on the U.S. Department of Customs and Border Patrol website.

If you are a U.S. citizen, you do not require a visa for the short duration of this tour. Please note that longer stays abroad for any purpose may require additional travel documentation. If you are a frequent traveler to Canada from the U.S., you may benefit from the NEXUS program which is a joint initiative between the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency and the Canada Border Services Agency that allows pre-screened and approved travelers faster processing at designated highway lanes in high-volume border crossing locations, at a NEXUS kiosk at several airports, and at certain marine reporting locations in the Great Lakes and Seattle regions. For further information, you may log on to the Nexus Internet site by clicking here .

If you are a citizen of another country traveling internationally, you should contact a consulate or embassy of Canada to determine what travel documentation is required.

Anyone with a criminal record (including some misdemeanors such as Driving While Impaired (DWI) charges) may be excluded or removed from Canada, and should contact a Canadian embassy or consulate well in advance of any planned travel to ensure proper travel documentation.

We strongly recommend that your passport be valid for six months beyond the completion of your tour. In addition, we recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.

To facilitate Travel Requirements, destinations are increasingly utilizing online forms that require digital proof that you've successfully completed your submission (via an email, QR code, etc.) To ensure smooth travels and peace of mind, we strongly recommend all guests carry a personal smart phone and sign up for international data plans before traveling overseas.

Note: For activities marked with an asterisk (*) in day-by-day descriptions, participation is at your own risk; a signed liability waiver will be required.

TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN AS A GUARDIAN: If you are traveling as the guardian of a child/children, we strongly suggest that you carry a letter from both parents of the child authorizing emergency treatment in the event of illness or accident. For travel abroad, many foreign countries have specific entry requirements for children under 21 who are traveling internationally without BOTH parents. (These requirements are in response to the increased incidence of children being abducted and taken abroad.) PLEASE NOTE THAT TAUCK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for the disruption of travel caused by improper documentation for children traveling without both parents.

Travel Requirements For This Tour

Air Information and Luggage Restrictions

AIRFARE: Airfare to and from this destination is not included in the journey cost. If purchasing your air elsewhere, it is very important to provide us with your confirmed arriving and departing flight information no later than 3 weeks before your arrival date. Flight information can be submitted to Tauck (or verified, if you've already provided it) in the My Account section of Tauck.com.

TAUCK AIRPORT TRANSFERS are included at the start and end of the journey between the airport and the Tauck hotel. Airport transfers are available for any pre tour or post tour hotel stays immediately consecutive to the tour, providing flight information is received in the Tauck office no later than three weeks in advance. Details on locating your transfer upon arrival to the tour start city will be included in your final documents.

AIRLINES and CHECKED LUGGAGE: Due to space limitations during your Tauck journey, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one average-size suitcase per person. Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and are free to revise luggage policies without notice. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies. PLEASE NOTE that if you are booked on a tour that includes on-tour flights, the checked luggage weight restrictions for these flights may be lower than the weight restrictions for your international flights.

Checked Luggage – General

Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).

Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.

Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.

Tauck luggage tags will be provided by your Tauck Director on Day 1 of your itinerary. Please do not attach a Tauck luggage tag to any carry-on items, as the Tauck tags designate luggage that is to be handled and transferred by ground operators and hotel staff during your journey.

Carry-on Luggage – General

Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.

For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.

Health, Safety and Mobility

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

Regarding Oxygen

If you require portable oxygen while traveling, you will be responsible for any maintenance and operation that the tank requires while on tour, and for locating health facilities on the tour route that can perform tank maintenance. If you choose to bring a tank on tour, you will need to provide us the exact specifications of the tank, including size, model, and all components that accompany it prior to booking the tour to determine motor coach storage capabilities. You may inquire about having them filled at a hospital in Vancouver, Banff or Jasper (there is no hospital in Lake Louise), but tank maintenance facilities are limited in the Canadian Rockies.

Vancouver General Hospital : 855 West 12th Avenue, Vancouver, B.C, Canada V5Z 1M9.

Phone: (604) 875-4111

Seaton General Hospital : Box 310, 518 Robson Street, Jasper, Alberta T0E 1E0.

Phone: (780) 852-3344. Fax: (780) 852-3413

Banff Mineral Springs Hospital : 305 Lynx Street, Banff, Alberta, Canada TIL1H7.

Phone: (403) 760-7214

Smoking is not permitted on the motor coaches or onboard The Canadian or in any of the hotels.

If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.

Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.

VACCINATIONS  

If you are a resident of the U.S. traveling internationally, no vaccinations are currently required for travel to Canada. For complete vaccination and inoculation information, contact your physician, the public health service in your area, or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. The CDC operates a 24-hour travelers' information number at 800-232-4636 (toll-free in the U.S.). You may also log on to the CDC website by clicking here .

If you are a resident of another country traveling internationally, please contact an embassy or consulate of Canada to determine what vaccinations may be required for you to visit.

SPECIAL DIETARY REQUESTS

The restaurants, hotels, caterers and numerous other partners we work with all do their best to accommodate special dietary requests from Tauck guests. However, given the diverse nature of those food providers (from small wineries to grand hotels to world-famous restaurants in more than 70 countries worldwide), some of our partners are better able than others to accommodate such requests. We therefore cannot guarantee that all dietary requests can be accommodated at every meal. Also, please note that where dietary requests can be accommodated, choices will frequently be limited.

To enjoy this tour, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, often over unpaved and uneven surfaces. Some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. The amount of walking you do, however, is at your discretion.

Several modes of transportation are used on this tour – motor coach, ferry, float plane and train. In general, this itinerary is recommended for those who have little if any difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or balancing onboard a moving train. Walking is also affected by weather conditions which do vary greatly and can involve snow, ice, and mud.

Regarding Wheelchairs

If you require a wheelchair while traveling, you must meet the specifications of each of the tour's suppliers including the motor coach, ferry, float plane and train. You may bring a collapsible, lightweight wheelchair on tour that weighs less than 100 lbs (45.4 kg), but you must be able to maneuver on and off the coach with limited assistance. We strongly recommend that if you require a wheelchair for travel or have moderate to severe difficulty walking that you bring a companion to assist you. Before you book this tour, you will need to provide us with the exact specifications of the wheelchair, including: size, model, and all components that accompany it to determine its motor coach storage capabilities.

The Canadian may provide a special wheelchair while you are onboard as the corridors on the train are too narrow for a regular wheelchair. The public washrooms on the trains will accommodate a wheelchair; however the bedrooms and roomette washrooms will not. If you require the wheelchair in your bedroom, the regular chair provided in the room would have to be removed. The special onboard wheelchair does not allow for access to the Observation Domes which is only accessible by climbing some steps. Additionally this wheelchair cannot be used while the train is in motion.

PLEASE NOTE: We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs.  The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.

Reading List

We have compiled a reading list of recommended books to give you more information about the destinations you will be traveling to on your upcoming journey!

You can view the reading list  here.

The summer weather in the Canadian Rockies can change instantly and is often unpredictable as in any mountainous region. From June through early September, normal temperatures range from 50 to 80˚F (10 to 27˚C). However, the Canadian Rockies could experience some unusually warm weather (80 to 90˚F) (26 to 32˚C) during the summer months. Therefore, we suggest including some light warm weather clothing in your travel wardrobe. Conditions are often very local and can change radically from one valley to the next, or change during the course of the day. Due to its geographic location, Western Canada generally has long hours of daylight and in mid-summer the sun will rise as early as 5:00 a.m. and set as late as 10:00 p.m. In the early spring and fall, daylight hours average about 14 hours, from 6:30 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. Rainfall is greatest by the ocean in Vancouver and lighter in the interior portions of the Canadian Rockies.

What To Pack

When joining a Tauck journey, every guest is responsible for their own health and, in turn, the protection of their fellow travelers, the Tauck staff, our suppliers and the places we visit. As such, you are expected to follow local and supplier guidelines regarding face coverings, as explained by your Tauck Director. Our partners may have a limited supply of face coverings, gloves, and hand sanitizer, so please bring such personal items for your own comfort.

Bringing the right clothing for your trip is important – we've partnered with Necessary Gear who provide an "easy-to-use, one-stop shop" for your Tauck travel needs, specifically selected for this trip. Click here to visit their site .

Your journey is designed with leisure in mind. Dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is adaptable and allows for layering. Generally, during the day, casual, comfortable, cotton clothing is recommended. Cool weather at higher elevations or at night will require warmer, layered clothing. During the evenings some dining rooms require smart casual attire for dinner (no jeans) and some fine dining rooms recommend jackets for the gentlemen, but they are not required.

You will find a hair dryer located in your hotel guest room. Irons and ironing boards are available upon request. Valet laundry and dry cleaning services are also available for a fee at all the Fairmont Hotels on this itinerary, but not onboard The Canadian.

We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor's prescription or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, a list of the generic names of your medication, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed.

We suggest that you pack the following items your journey:

  • Casual daytime wear – shorts, slacks, long and short-sleeved shirts
  • An optional jacket for men
  • Casually elegant evening wear for ladies
  • Sunglasses, sunscreen, hat
  • A light sweater or jacket for higher elevations or a breezy night
  • Binoculars (7x50 preferably)
  • Insect repellent
  • Camera, lenses, batteries, memory cards and chargers
  • Lightweight, comfortable, sturdy walking shoes that have already been broken-in
  • Hiking boots if you would like to hike on some of the more extensive trails
  • Travel alarm clock/ cell phone with alarm function (many hotels do not have clocks in the room)
  • Rain poncho and collapsible umbrella
  • Reusable zipper-lock bags or other waterproof bags
  • Daypack for camera equipment
  • Sundries and toiletries that may be difficult to find en route
  • Copies of your travel documents that should be secured in the safe in your hotel room while traveling
