Wildlife tips
Beware the bear
Laura McGowan, Director, International Centre for Responsible Tourism Canada:“Wildlife watching is a big aspect of tourism in Canada, and a growing one, so you need to ensure that the tour operator you are choosing is following all wildlife watching guidelines, and that they are not putting either the tourist or the animal in danger. A lot of times, especially in the Rocky Mountains, tourists will, when they see a bear, just want to get out of their vehicle and get a picture. Or even worse, try and feed the bear. Something that independent tour guides have been known to do, in order to attract bears for their visitors. That is dangerous not only for the person, but also the bear, because this often ends up in the bear having to be destroyed. And this absolutely still happens. Tourists just don’t think about the consequences of approaching animals in the wild. So make sure you travel with an expert.”

Tips from our travelers in Canada
We have selected some of the most useful Canada travel advice that our guests have provided over the years to help you make the very most of your vacation - and the space inside your suitcase.


“If you're a family like us, complete novices in the art of camping and who have never visited this part of Canada in the summer, then this is the perfect place to start. Rob and Troy were our guides on half day hikes, full day hikes, on our day of heli-hiking and on the "boy's day" of mountain biking. Their years of experience in the mountains leads you, the novice, to feel safe in "bear country". Their knowledge of the area is second to none. The trails they hike are well-kept secrets and as such the hidden lakes and valleys you discover with them are awesome. It was a privilege to be in their company and to have access to their most favourite and remote spots.“ – Susan Brooks on our Hiking in the Rockies vacation
“Take layering clothing as it can be cold in the viewing platforms but warm other times. Take insect repellent and USE IT! I don't normally get bitten but this time I did. Take NO food or drink: it is all provided and is superb and plentiful. They also provide toiletries, so no need to take those either! And finally, be prepared to be amazed!“ – Suzanne Wafer on our Grizzly Bear watching tour
“You don't need all the equipment that they list. Gaiters proved to be ineffective and unnecessary. If you want to avoid buying stuff then you can do the trip with minimal amounts of equipment. The one thing I would recommend you invest in is a good rain jacket“ – Asif Abbas on our Rocky Mountains wildlife vacation
