I absolutely loved my G trip. The people were all amazing and Canada was gorgeous. It was great getting a taste of how beautiful the country is with a bunch of like-minded individuals;)
The Westbound Canadian Rockies tour was amazing and beyond anything I ever expected. The guide, locations, activities, sights between destinations, accommodations, logistics, and group dynamics were all spot on.
For any other first timers, please know that you don't necessarily need to plan your own transport to the optional activities. If several of the group are interested, the guide will take those who are interested.
I wasn?t sure what to expect with this being my first solo adventure holiday. I was not disappointed. The guides were great, with Jade cooking us very tasty food whilst accounting for various food preferences and intolerances. She and Ben kept us well looked after. I had so much fun meeting new people and making new friends. I?ve made memories I?ll never forget and seen so many special places. I am so pleased I booked this trip and am already thinking about my next one.
We had a fantastic holiday with a great tour leader. The itinerary gave as a very good taste of Western Canada with so many highlights - mountains, lakes, waterfalls and sea inlets.
The Northwest Passage has gripped polar explorers for centuries. On this 17-day voyage, you’ll hop aboard the Ocean Explorer and explore this fascinating waterway with an incredible range of off-ship adventures by Zodiac and helicopter. Passing through the Canadian Arctic archipelago, you’ll journey back in time to the height of Arctic exploration, visiting areas that the Inuit people have made their home for thousands of years. See all the highlights of the Canadian Arctic and Greenland’s west coast, stopping at Inuit and Greenlandic communities. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ilulissat Icefjord, whose Sermeq Kujalleq glacier calves off enormous icebergs, and keep your eyes peeled for the marine creatures who make their home in these harsh, remote landscapes –keep your eyes peeled for whales, walrus, muskoxen and polar bears.
Put down your mobile phone and answer the call of the wild on this adventure across the waters of the Canadian Arctic. Encounter Inuit culture, explore landscapes that bring the drama, spot unique wildlife and holiday like an explorer of old (except, you know, with a sauna and helicopters).
