What people love about Canada Tours
Loved the tour and our guide was awesome very well organised and fun, adaptive and flexible. Great trip overall with lots of activities. Would be great to have a night in Victoria in a hostel rather than campground as it was too far from the city. Personally for me I would prefer more freedom on what to eat as I am quite picky and would love to have more opportunity to eat out rather than being restricted by tight food budget of a campground, also I thought I would rather spend more time doing things than cooking/washing and just pick up my own lunch on the go but thats a personal preference. Would also be great to see similar tours running for people looking for more challenging hiking. My suggestion would be to run a group once a month with the same program but substituting most hikes with moderate/difficult ones rather than super relaxed walking and put fitness level as a requirement for the trip. It seems there is a gap on the market between hardcore expiditions with heavy backpacks and chilled tours requiring below average level of fitness.

The mountain lakes across West Coast Canada tell quite a story - Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and Emerald Lake in Banff and Jasper paint the landscape in shifting shades of turquoise and blue against rugged peaks. Our travelers often tell us how these glacial waters left them without words. The wildlife encounters end up stealing the show though - black bears emerging from winter dens and elk moving through the valleys become the memories people talk about most. The local guides make all the difference here, sharing their expertise about the geology, animal patterns and secret spots they've discovered over years in these mountains. If you're keen on seeing wildlife, spring and early summer visitors tend to have the best luck, especially during dawn and dusk when the animals are out and the light plays across the lakes in long mountain shadows.
See all West Coast Canada toursThe tours really stand out for keeping groups small and personal - it's something our travelers mention time and time again. This setup lets our guides be flexible: they can spend extra time when whales are putting on a show or quickly find sheltered spots if the weather acts up. You'll get those genuine local insights too, since guides can share detailed stories and regional knowledge that just wouldn't work with bigger groups. While July and August are prime months for spotting wildlife, you'll find June and September equally rewarding with fewer tourists around and really comfortable temperatures for exploring outdoors.
See all Eastern Canada toursThe Canadian Rockies deliver exactly what keen explorers hope to find - those impossibly blue alpine lakes that make you do a double-take, especially Lake Louise and Moraine Lake where our travelers can't seem to put their cameras down. You'll spot bears, elk and also eagles along the trails, making the mountains feel truly wild and alive. Days here blend active exploration with cozy evenings - you might trek through untouched valleys or navigate the rapids of Kicking Horse River before gathering around a campfire for a BBQ under some of North America's clearest night skies. Our guides know every hidden corner and share stories that bring these peaks to life, mixing local insights with genuine passion for their mountain home. There's nothing quite like soaking in the natural hot springs after a solid day of hiking, and our travelers often tell us that catching sunrise at Moraine Lake tops their travel highlights - those first rays of light transform the peaks into shades of pink and also gold.
See all Canadian Rockies toursWith diverse seasons and terrain, Canada offers an ever-changing variety of experiences and scenery, and the Prairies are an area you should make time to visit on a tour. With stunning lakes and small towns calling to be explored, the Canadian Prairies should be top of your must-visit tour list.

From the sunlit trails of the Canadian Rockies to a hike like no other on the glaciers of Alberta, Canada offers many hiking trips that allow you to experience its great outdoors. Pair your hiking trip with a stopover in Vancouver or hit the slopes in Banff National Park.

See all Coach / Bus toursA train journey across Canada promises views of majestic mountains, pulsating cities, and pristine lakes. Visit Vancouver’s Stanley Park, a popular spot for locals, ascend Toronto’s CN Tower for sweeping city views, and experience Quebec’s historic charm.
See all Train & Rail toursOur explorer tours in the Canadian Rockies really get you deep into the wilderness. You can actually drink straight from Clearwater Lake's pristine waters while canoeing to secluded beach campsites where you'll sleep under the stars. We've designed these trips to mix city and nature - one day you're walking through Vancouver's historic Gastown, then suddenly you're navigating whitewater rapids the next. Our guide Evan gets fantastic feedback from travelers for sharing local secrets and teaching practical skills, from setting up backcountry camps to finding the best photo spots on Jasper's trails. When you reach Whistler, each day becomes your own adventure - take the PEAK 2 PEAK gondola for valley views, hop on a mountain bike or grab a kayak for some time on the water.

For anyone looking at small group experiences, Fresh Adventures stands out with their guide Alex who really gets what travelers need - you can tell from how our guests keep talking about the personal attention they receive. While Intrepid Travel does solid work with well-planned routes and experienced leaders like Evan, they're a bit more structured in their approach. I'd skip TourRadar's coach tours right now - their customers have been pointing out some real issues. The schedules feel too rushed, and you never quite know what you'll get with the guides. Some are great but others... not so much. Quality seems to bounce around quite a bit. What makes Fresh Adventures work so well is how they handle the small group dynamic. Their guides actually adjust the pace and activities based on who's in the group, which is exactly what you want when you're traveling with just a handful of people. It's that kind of flexibility that makes such a difference when you're exploring somewhere new. Intrepid's got their system down pat, no question there. Their tour leader Evan knows his stuff and the itineraries are clearly thought through. But if you're specifically after that more intimate, personalized feel, Fresh Adventures has really carved out their own space in that department.

Best places to start your Canada tour
Most Canadian Rockies tours start from Calgary or Vancouver, with each city launching about 33-34 tours every month. You can also begin your journey from Toronto, Halifax or even Whitehorse if you'd like to see more of Canada along the way. Our booking data shows it's smart to plan about 4 months ahead (114 days to be exact), especially if you're thinking about a summer trip when those alpine lakes show off their richest colors. Many of our experienced travelers prefer September for smaller crowds and lovely fall colors, or June when wildflowers fill the valleys. Winter trips from December through March are perfect for ice walks, skiing and spotting wildlife, though you'll find some hiking trails closed for the season. Spring brings its own charm - you'll see animals emerging from winter and waterfalls rushing with melting snow.

Looking at value-focused tours in the Canadian Rockies, our 10-day route has proven really popular with travelers. You'll get out on the Ice Explorer at Columbia Icefield and take a boat trip to Spirit Island on Maligne Lake. Our customers tell us they love how the schedule mixes guided activities with free time to explore - as one mentioned "a good balance of busy schedule and relaxation." There's also a solid 7-day option covering five national parks, including time at Waterton Lakes (a UNESCO site) and also a relaxing soak in the mineral pools at Radium Hot Springs. The comfortable hotels and knowledgeable local guides who know these areas inside out make these tours excellent value for money.
The Canadian Rockies really shine when you add premium touches like staying at the Fairmont Banff Springs and Chateau Lake Louise. An 8-day journey pairs the Rocky Mountaineer train with nights at grand mountain properties - you'll travel in glass-domed carriages through the ranges, having gourmet meals while scanning the Fraser Canyon for wildlife. Winter brings a refined 7-day escape focused on Aurora viewing, with evenings spent by the fire sipping mulled wine under stars at a private camp. The more exclusive tours include walking the heritage paths around Lake Louise with local experts, private ice walks through Maligne Canyon and also conversations with retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police who share real stories about mountain life.

You'll get a heritage expert for walks along Lake Louise's shore and proper time to explore Jasper's dark sky preserve - it's actually one of North America's top spots for seeing the Northern Lights. Your private driver will stop anywhere you want along the Icefields Parkway for wildlife photos or mountain views. What works so well here is how flexible everything is - you can add helicopter flights over the ranges, afternoon tea at the historic Banff Springs and also guided ice walks that match exactly what you want to do.

The 7-day Canadian Rockies tours pack in the big highlights without rushing you through. One route takes you into Waterton National Park, giving you time to see bison in their protected areas and check out the colorful mineral layers at Red Rock Canyon. If you're up for sleeping under the stars, our camping tours with guides like Marco get lots of praise - he's known for excellent backcountry meals and finding those quiet trails most visitors miss. For a more luxurious take, hop aboard the Rocky Mountaineer train where glass-dome coaches let you watch the Continental Divide roll by. Our customers really like how these tours mix structured activities with free time - you might learn hockey moves from a Canmore pro in the morning and relax in Banff's hot springs that evening.

Ten days really lets you get into the mountain lifestyle. The Calgary to Vancouver route is our most requested, with guide Joyce getting high marks for knowing exactly when to schedule activities and when to let people explore. You'll boat out to Spirit Island on Maligne Lake and ride the Ice Explorer across the Athabasca Glacier. These tours work so well because each day brings something different - from walking Victoria's historic streets to watching eagles and whales around the Gulf Islands. Our travelers especially appreciate having their own time in Banff to hike trails or discover local artists.

Two weeks opens up a true cross-country Rocky Mountain journey. Starting in Vancouver, you'll mix city experiences with deep wilderness time. Guide Alex gets lots of mentions from our customers for bringing groups together while canoeing Wells Gray's lakes and cooking over campfires under incredibly starry skies. The Jasper National Park section takes you through Maligne Canyon and past Mount Robson, where bears, elk and mountain goats often make appearances. With 14 days, you can really settle into places like Tofino - take a zodiac out whale watching or walk for hours on Pacific beaches. Our customers tell us these longer trips hit just the right balance, especially when camping is part of the package.

Our solo travelers keep coming back to the 14-day Canadian Rockies tours that blend outdoor activities with social time. You'll paddle across Clearwater Lake's mirror-like surface, sleep under incredibly clear night skies and swap stories by crackling campfires. Guide Evan gets great comments from travelers for creating an easy-going group vibe while teaching real outdoor skills you can use. The tour starts in Vancouver's old quarters before heading into the wilderness - it's a smart mix of city culture and nature. What really works is how you can choose your own pace; join others for Jasper National Park hikes or take quiet walks on Banff's trails when you want some space.
Couples tell us they love our premium mountain trips with their mix of upscale lodging and quiet moments in nature. The Rocky Mountaineer train journey creates shared memories as you wind through mountain passes in glass-domed cars, sharing good food while spotting wildlife together. Many pick tours staying at the grand Fairmont hotels, where mornings start with Lake Louise at sunrise and evenings end with private walks through ice-filled Maligne Canyon. The Northern Lights viewing sessions really shine - picture yourself sharing mulled wine by a warm fire while the sky dances overhead.
The younger crowd goes for our active tours packed with hiking, rafting and nights under canvas. These trips run 8-14 days and put you right in the action - climbing Sulphur Skyline Trail for massive valley views, riding the rapids on Kicking Horse River and finding hidden alpine lakes on foot. The formula works because it mixes high-energy activities with social downtime - you might spend your morning snowshoeing Sunshine Village then share local craft beers with your group in Banff. Camping creates natural friendship moments and stops in Whistler and Jasper let you add mountain biking, zip-lines or extra hikes if you want more.
Our older travelers appreciate tours that balance comfort with proper exploration time. Guide Ben Hutchinson gets particular praise for adjusting the pace while sharing real knowledge about local geology, wildlife and mountain history. These trips include drives along the Icefields Parkway with well-timed stops for photos and wildlife watching, plus easy walks around Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. The mix of guided visits and free time to explore Banff and Jasper works really well. You'll stay in comfortable hotels in the best spots and can join extra activities that match your energy level and interests.

Spring in the Rockies brings melting ice and wildlife emerging from winter. Our Calgary-start tour takes you through Banff where early hiking on Tunnel Mountain reveals the first wildflowers. You'll see the impressive spring melt at Bow Falls, Athabasca Falls and get Lake Louise and Moraine Lake with fewer tourists. Many travelers choose to add Yoho National Park when Takakkaw Falls hits its strongest flow from spring thaw. The coastal option combines mountain visits with Vancouver Island's gardens and whale migration season viewing. Spring photography tours are particularly special - you'll capture snow-capped peaks mirrored in partially thawed lakes and baby wildlife in valley areas.

The classic summer route takes you onto ancient ice at Columbia Icefield and around Maligne Lake for bear and elk spotting.

Many guests choose the five national parks tour including Waterton Lakes, where autumn colors double in the crystal water beneath snowy peaks. The classic fall route covers Banff and Jasper along the Icefields Parkway when crowds thin but views peak.

The Northern Lights tours really shine during Canadian Rockies winters, with the 3-night Whitehorse trip being a guest favorite. You'll spend evenings at a private viewing camp where mulled wine by the fire makes the wait for the aurora more enjoyable. Days fill up with dog sledding and ice fishing excursions. Another solid option pairs Rockies exploration with Aurora viewing in Peace River and ice walks through Maligne Canyon's frozen waterfalls. Our winter wildlife trips around Jasper National Park let you spot elk, moose and mountain goats against snowy backdrops. The 10-day winter route includes Johnston Canyon ice walks, snowshoeing at Sunshine Village and also warming up with hot cocoa at altitude. For extra comfort, we offer an intimate tour staying at Fairmont properties while exploring Banff's winter landscapes, including horse-drawn sleigh rides by Lake Louise's frozen edge.
