What's included in the price, and what costs extra?

The EUR 3380 price includes 7 nights' lodging (hotel or camping—your choice), National Park fees, and the tour guide. Picnic lunches cost USD $50 extra (covers all 7 days) and are paid on day one. Breakfast, dinner, and the optional Lake Louise canoe are additional costs not specified in the base price.

Can I choose between camping and hotel lodging?

Yes. You select your preferred lodging type (hotel or camping) at the time of booking. This choice affects comfort level and what you need to pack, so decide based on your preferences before confirming.

Is the Lake Louise canoe trip included, or optional?

The canoe is optional. It's offered as an add-on activity during the tour, allowing you to paddle on the iconic turquoise glacier-fed lake. Pricing and availability depend on weather and group interest—ask your operator for details.

How many people are on this tour, and will I feel crowded?

The tour caps at 14 passengers, keeping the group small and intimate. This size allows better wildlife spotting, more personalized attention from the guide, and flexibility for photography stops without the constraints of large group tours.

Do I need hiking experience, and how strenuous are the walks?

The tour caters to active travelers but doesn't require mountaineering expertise. Hikes in Banff, Jasper, and Yoho range in difficulty; your guide will offer options for each day. Bring proper hiking boots, layers, and sun protection. Confirm specific trail difficulty before booking if you have fitness concerns.

Where does the tour depart from, and what time?

The tour departs from Seattle. Confirm the exact meeting location (typically a central hotel or transit hub) and departure time with the operator when you book, as these details affect your travel logistics.

★Book the Lake Louise canoe early—it fills up and offers the best light for photography at sunrise or late afternoon
