Canada
& Alaska
Welcome to
Canada & Alaska
Having travelled over the years to many parts of Canada I am always
struck by the amazing diversity of its landscape, the wonderful range
of activities you can do there and the genuine friendliness of its people.
There is so much that defines Canada: the rugged coastlines of the
Maritimes; the awe-inspiring Rocky Mountains; the Yukons magnificent
Klondike; Manitobas polar bears; the excitement of major cities such
as Montral and Vancouver and the cultural diversity of its people
a list that could go on and on.
To the west, the vast American state of Alaska has arguably more
in common with its Canadian neighbours than with the lower 48.
Bordered by British Columbia and the Yukon, Alaska offers a similar
blend of pioneering spirit, wilderness landscapes and a wealth of wildlife.
Glaciers and mountains, dramatic coastlines and isolated communities
make this the perfect destination for those wanting to escape the
hoardes and really get off the beaten track.
Covering a staggering 8 time zones from east to west, the sheer scale
of Canada and Alaska can be a little overwhelming - this is a region
best explored in bite-sized chunks! This brochure aims to provide just
a flavour of whats on offer, with more detailed information available
on our website. Better still, chat to one of our friendly team of
accredited experts and allow us to put together an itinerary just
for you, ensuring you get the very most from your holiday.
We will not relax until you are home with a large grin on your face,
and if you do not experience exceptional service throughout your holiday,
dont hesitate to contact me personally. My direct email address is below.
With best wishes

No surcharges
Once your holiday has been confirmed,
we guarantee there will be no increases
whatsoever. This is something of a rarity
in the travel business, but we feel that if
you have made a commitment to us by
booking a holiday, the very least we can
do is to absorb any price increases which
may occur. Below you will find a typical
clause from the booking conditions of
one of our competitors:
Surcharges may be imposed to cover
increases in transportation costs (eg. fuel
levy), dues, taxes, fees (eg. landing taxes),
or a variation in exchange rates applicable
to your package. In the event of a surcharge
we will absorb the first 2% and should the
surcharge be more than 10% of the price
of your holiday, you will have the right
to cancel your holiday and receive a
full refund of what you have paid.
can be a bit of a nightmare. You are

entitled to compensation if your flight is
delayed over a certain period - some airlines
are legally bound to provide meals and
accommodation, as well as compensation,
should your flight be delayed for certain
reasons, and some are not. For example
should another volcanic eruption occur in
Iceland and you are unable to fly home, our
policy is clear: if the airline wont cover your
costs and your travel insurance excludes this,
then we will. We offer a 24/7 emergency
line so we are always there to help whatever
happens, and we will also advise you of your
rights if you are due further compensation
as well as assist you to obtain it. But our
commitment goes beyond that
Financial security
Through our memberships of various
organisations, and the licences we hold,
every penny paid to us is completely safe.
In addition, we are bound by very strict
business practices through UK and EU law as
well as the associations to which we belong.
We are members of ABTA (The Travel

Independent Tour Operators), another
travel industry body which includes most
of the UKs most important independent
specialist tour operators members are
financially vetted by both organisations and
have to comply with a fair business charter,
and should you have a problem during
your holiday which cannot be resolved
with us, you are able to take advantage
of an arbitration scheme. We also hold a
bond with ABTA which protects holidays
not booked with flights. ATOL (Air Tour

Civil Aviation Authority, and protects all
clients who book their holiday in conjunction

on which holiday company to book with,
we urge you to bear this in mind.

We dont think any other company has
comparable trips when you take into
account our unique itineraries. But, should
you come across a matching itinerary of
our quality, offered by another UK based
company, even within 30 days AFTER
booking with us, we will gladly refund the
difference. This guarantee is designed to
assure you that even though our trips are
of the highest standard, you will still not
pay more than you have to.
We deliver on

We are so confident the quality of our trips
will meet your expectations, that should
you be dissatisfied, well gladly give you

expectations have to match what weve

Welcome
to Canada
A truly spectacular country, the second largest in the
world, Canada has a staggering variety of landscapes
and natural attractions from the alpine scenery of the
west coast and breathtaking Canadian Rockies, to the
prairies and great lakes of central Canada and the rugged,
weather-beaten provinces of the north and east. The vibrant
cities of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver add culture
and excitement to the mix, whilst an abundance of wildlife
offers the chance for unforgettable animal encounters.
From the mighty polar bear of the north,

to British Columbias rare Kermode bear,
Canadas bears are a sight to behold. Look
out for black bears roaming the forests or
take in the spectacular sight of grizzlies
fishing for salmon. Offshore, marvel at the
worlds largest population of humpbacks
congregating along the Newfoundland
coast, spot minkes in the St Lawrence River,
kayak with orcas around the islands of BC
or snorkel with belugas in Hudson Bay.
The sheer scale of this vast country lends
itself to memorable journeys, whether
its a Trans-Canada train ride from east to
west, a leisurely cruise through the fjords
of the Pacific coast or a scenic self-drive
adventure. Meander past the glaciers
of the Icefields Parkway, around the

Cabot Trails rugged shores, or cross the
Arctic Circle on the Dempster Highway.
More remote areas can be reached by
floatplane, offering a birds-eye view over
forests, mountains and sparkling lakes.
Uncover the traditions of First Nations
across the country, immerse yourself in
the French history of Qubec or explore
the remote villages of the Atlantic
provinces, rich in Celtic influences.
Further north isolated Inuit communities
adapt an ancient way of life to continue
to thrive in the 21st century.
With such diversity Canada encourages
a repeat visit - rather than trying to see
everything in one holiday, we recommend
focusing on one or two provinces at a

time, and exploring them at a leisurely
pace. The mountains and wildlife of BC
and Alberta are popular for first time
visitors, whilst Ontario and Qubec provide
an equally beautiful but very different
landscape of forests and lakes. Head off
the beaten track to the wild Yukon or
experience the quirky charm of the
Atlantic provinces wherever you
choose to go, Canada will not disappoint!
Pages 16-29 of this brochure provide
an overview of each of Canadas very
different provinces and territories,
helping you to decide which regions and
experiences are of most interest to you.

When to Visit - Canada
Spring
Summer
As bears across the country start to emerge from hibernation,

Canada is positively blooming from the countless cherry trees
of BC to the riotous tulips of Ontario. From May its possible to
see the first whales of the season, as well as icebergs drifting south
along the Newfoundland coast. This time of year also offers some
great price savings.
Summer brings long days and the best weather, and is the ideal time
for independent exploration on a self-drive holiday. Wildlife lovers
can swim with belugas in the Hudson Bay whilst humpback whales
congregate off the Newfoundland & Labrador coast. Orcas and grizzly
bears are frequently seen around the Pacific coast, whilst expedition
voyages reveal a wealth of experiences in the Canadian Arctic.
Autumn
Winter
Early autumn offers mild days and fewer crowds, as well as the vivid
spectacle of fall colours - from the golden yellows of the west to the
startling scarlet maple forests of the east. Salmon spawning means
that grizzly bears are very active, whilst towards the end of autumn
a visit to Churchill offers an unparalleled opportunity to see the
worlds largest land predator - the mighty polar bear.
Winter brings with it a blanket of snow, celebrated at ski-resorts on

both sides of the country. But escape the resorts and head into the
wilderness a trip to the Yukon or Northern Alberta offers excellent
chances of seeing the Aurora Borealis, whilst winter activities such
as dog-sledding and snow-shoeing are a great way to explore rural
Ontario and Qubec or the snow-covered Rockies.

Getting
Around Canada
Canadas vast distances can be covered quickly by air or rail;
exploring by car or motorhome offers independence and total
flexibility, whilst escorted touring ensures you always have
an experienced guide on hand.
We did see plenty of bears (although not

sure if black or grizzly...maybe both?) mainly at the sides of the roads!

Getting Around Canada
Self-drive
Motorhome
Rail Journeys
A self-drive holiday offers the freedom

to explore at your own pace, allowing
time to search out hidden corners, spot
wildlife or stop to admire the view as and
when you please. Whether you pick one
of our packages or allow us to plan a
fully tailor made itinerary, all our self-drive
holidays include car rental, pre-booked
accommodation and exclusive travel
documents and maps.
Perfect for those wide empty roads,

a motorhome holiday offers complete
flexibility and is a great way to experience
Canadas magnificent scenery. Canada has
an extensive network of camping options,
ranging from full facility campgrounds for
RVs, quiet wilderness sites and large trailer
parks with facilities for families.
Choose your own room with a view!
The most famous of Canadas railways

is undoubtedly the Rocky Mountaineer,
travelling between Vancouver and the
Rockies via 3 different scenic routes
throughout the summer. More extensive
year-round rail coverage is provided by VIA
Rail, with a nationwide network offering
the chance to travel right across the country
from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
Ferry Journeys
Air Travel
Escorted Touring
The off-shore islands of British Columbia

are best explored by sea, and BC Ferries
provide the ideal way to do this. Enjoy a
scenic crossing from Vancouver to Victoria
or explore Canadas beautiful Inside Passage.
Travelling by ferry offers spectacular scenery
with the chance to spot marine wildlife as
you go.
Travelling longer distances by air is a good

option to save time, and a number of airlines
offer regular scheduled domestic flights including Air Canada, Porter Airlines and
Pacific Coastal Airlines. For shorter trips
the authentically Canadian floatplane is a
must, allowing access to remote wilderness
locations whilst providing a memorable
experience in itself.
Our collection of escorted touring holidays

covers a variety of regions, interests,
durations and budgets. Join like-minded
travellers and a knowledgeable guide on
a traditional coach tour, specialist wildlife
holiday, hiking adventure or active group
holiday and share incredible experiences
with new-found friends.

The Northwest
Passage
Cruise holiday
Join an adventurous cruise following one of the
Arctics most iconic routes, the elusive Northwest
Passage. This expedition voyage uncovers a
fascinating history of exploration, immense
icebergs and the chance to see wildlife
including polar bears and narwhals.
The North-West Passage was done. My boyhood dream at that moment it was accomplished. A strange feeling
welled up in my throat; I was somewhat over-strained and
worn - it was weakness in me - but I felt tears in my eyes

Welcome
to Alaska
The vast American state of Alaska is six times the size
of Britain and is home to some of the USAs highest
peaks, including Mount McKinley, the tallest mountain
in North America. Alaska also boasts active volcanoes,
lush rainforests, a remote Arctic frontier and an
incredible 100,000 glaciers!
Over 51 million acres of Alaska are

preserved as National Parks, making this
one of the best destinations in North
America for wildlife spotting. Grizzly and
black bears, caribou, moose and Dall sheep
are all frequently spotted, and wolves can
be heard howling through the night. Bald
eagles fly overhead, whilst taking to the
water you may see orcas, humpback and
grey whales, sea otters and fur seals.
connected by road and also by the

excellent Alaskan Railroad.
Alaskas remote communities stretch out

along the Aleutian Islands, lie scattered
amongst the deep fjords of the Inside
Passage and spread high into the Arctic
Circle many of these can only be reached
by plane or by boat. The more populated
South and Interior regions are home to
the cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks,
Alaskas capital city of Juneau is accessible

only by air or sea, set in a picturesque
location on the edge of the Gastineau
Channel in the renowned Inside Passage.
A long-time favourite cruise destination,
the Inside Passage is famed for its marine
wildlife and spectacular icy scenery Glacier
Bay National Park is a key attraction, and
The rugged mountains of Denali National

Park, the calving glaciers of Kenai Fjords
National Park and the wildlife rich waters
of Prince William Sound are all easily
accessible from Anchorage, whilst Fairbanks
is the gateway to the endless Arctic
tundra of the Far North.

the coastal city of Sitka offers a fascinating

glimpse into Alaskas past, boasting the
rare combination of totem poles standing
in close proximity to a Russian Orthodox
Cathedral.
With a fascinating heritage combining the
traditional culture of the Native Alaskans
(Tlingit, Athabascans, Eskimos and Aleuts)
with a strong Russian influence (Russia sold
Alaska to the Americans in 1867), plus a
wild frontier feel that belongs to its early
goldrush days, Alaska is unlike anywhere
else in North America.

When to Visit - Alaska
When to go
Mid-May to mid-September is the ideal time to visit this wilderness
state - from late spring through to early autumn. During the height
of the summer, with endless days under the glow of the midnight
sun, there is plenty of time available to explore epic landscapes in
search of dramatic photo opportunities and wildlife encounters.
Marine life is also in abundance over 500 humpbacks can be found

in the Inside Passage during the summer, with June and July the best
months to observe bubble-net feeding. Other species, including orcas,
belugas and Dalls porpoises are also commonly seen around Alaskas
coastlines from June through to September.
Bear-viewing is possible in Alaskas national parks throughout the

summer, with the salmon runs of July offering the chance to witness
bears congregating in larger numbers around waterfalls and rivers.
As the brief summer draws to a close, autumn colours start to appear

from as early as August. Many hotels and excursion companies close
during the long winter season, although some northern lights viewing
holidays are available throughout these dark months.

Getting
Around Alaska
Many key attractions are easily reached by road or
on the excellent Alaska Railroad. With such an extensive
coastline, travelling by water is sometimes the only
option unless you take to the skies in one of Alaskas
ubiquitous floatplanes.
The combination of train travel the first week and

independent touring in the motorhome afterwards
worked really well and the motorhome was a
good option for families as we could self-cater

on your passport beyond this. However, it is always sensible
to have a short period of extra validity on your passport in
case of any unforeseen delays to your departure.

Visa Waiver Programme (VWP). All those travelling under the VWP
arriving by air or sea must complete an online ESTA prior to arrival.
If arriving by land from Canada you will not require an ESTA, but
will be required to complete an I-94W form on arrival at the border.
Processing fees apply. While in the US under the VWP, you may go
to Canada and re-enter the US using the ESTA and admission
stamp you were issued when you first arrived in the US.

Iceland Stopovers
& Extensions
Due to the curvature of the Earth, most routes between
the UK and Canada and Alaska fly close to or over
Icelandic airspace - so why not stop there en route?
Icelandair offer a number of flights to North America
direct from Keflavik - providing the perfect excuse
for a short stopover in Reykjavik, or an extended
exploration of Iceland.
There is no additional charge to break your

journey in Iceland and by including an
outbound stopover you actually reduce your
flight costs, saving between 50 and 100
per person on APD taxes. And with lower
airfares, increased baggage allowance and
a range of UK departure points, flying with
Icelandair makes perfect sense!
Save money on your international flights
Airport Departure Tax will be charged
at the European level, rather than North
American, saving over 50 per person
for economy class flights and over
100 for business class.
Save time on an Icelandair flight to
Anchorage flight time from Reykjavik
is just 7 hours, making this route one

of the quickest and most affordable
ways to reach Alaska from the UK.
Visit Iceland free of charge airfares
from the UK to North America permit
a stop of up to 7 nights in Iceland
at no additional flight charge.
Regional UK departures are available
from London Gatwick, London
Heathrow, Manchester and Glasgow,

Anchorage, Vancouver and Halifax during
the summer, with flights to Toronto and
