An amazing experience on our first trip to the Rockies and our first trip with Exodus

The whole trip was breath- taking, with a new view around every corner. The scenery was just stunning, made even more so with the near enough perfect weather we had. We enjoyed walking in the mountains and around the lakes and also all the other activities on offer – a boat trip on Maligne Lake, guided hike on the glacier, canoeing on Emerald Lake and the cable cars at Jasper and Banff. Also, the restaurants chosen for evening dinners were very good and offered plenty of choice.

Most Inspirational Moment

Views of all the mountains, waterfalls and lakes were awesome. We particularly enjoyed the glacier hike as it was a new experience and really beautiful to see the blue, sparkling ice and crevasses. We had a couple of swims in Emerald Lake and Pyramid Lake, which was chilly but amazing in the crystal-clear water.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our guide Isabel Aguilar made the trip so special for us, we cannot thank her enough. She had fantastic knowledge of local geography, geology, history and wildlife which really enhanced the trip. She encouraged us on all the walks and gave excellent advice on any activities that we wanted to undertake. She also gave us tips for our extra 5 days in Banff after the tour had finished and the picnic lunches she prepared for us were truly delicious.

Advice for Potential Travellers

One thing to note is that the Athabasca Glacier walk requires payment in cash of Canadian $120 per person plus a tip for the local guide, so you need to take enough cash with you if you plan to do this activity.

Even better in the summer!

This was a long intended trip as we’d skied in the Rockies years ago but wanted to see what lay under the snow. We weren’t disappointed. The scenery is breathtaking and some have since asked if our photos were AI or real.
This was a trip that allowed for 2-3 nights in each location, which is perfect and preferable to moving on each day. We added 3 days at the beginning to enjoy Calgary , and deal with jet lag, which was well worth it. Calgary was a pleasant surprise.
A few days at the end to visit family and relax after what was a very active and full 10 days.
Other than the initial Calgary hotel, accommodation was very good.
Travel in our 14 seater minibus was fine for the 12 of us on the trip. 14 might have been a squeeze.
We packed a lot in. Did varying lengths of enjoyable walks and hikes, none were too taxing, but allowed us to feel where we were and escape the crowds.
Occasionally felt a couple of hours break, pre dinner might have been good, but wouldn’t miss any of the experiences we had.
Overall a wonderful trip, spent with a lovely group of people who I’d love to meet on a future trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

A few unmissable experiences, rather than inspiring. - The grade 4+ white water rafting on Kicking Hose River! Such an adventure. At one point, didn’t know if still in the raft or not. We were definitely kicked by the horse! - The peaceful Pyramid Lake as the sun set near Jasper. - Taking part in Canada Day on 1st July. - Guided glacier hike on the Athabasca ice fields. I learned so much from this. Lakes Peyto, Moraine, Maligne and Louise were all wonderful, as were the stunning waterfalls we visited, but inevitably crowded.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Louis was a delightful young man and a knowledgable guide, who engaged with everyone in the group. He threw everything into ensuring we had a fantastic experience. Nothing was too much trouble and he often used his knowledge to help us avoid the crowds and experience the best aspects of our trip. His ability to offer the unexpected, such as our drive to Pyramid Lake and to Lake Minnewanka after our final night dinner, said everything about his kindness.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go and just enjoy this wonderful country. Despite the crowds, it is worth doing. Dress in layers as it is mountain country and in Jasper on 1st day it was 11 degrees. Other days it was 25.

Canadian Rockies - Jasper to Banff

If you want to experience true Canada, then this trip is definitely a ‘bucket list’ adventure. Its’ scenic beauty of the Rockies and tranquil lakes will leave you in awe of natures wonders. Visiting the most photographed lakes – Moraine and Louise is a postcard photo opportunity.

Undertaking a guided Glacier Ice Walk

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was very accommodating

Advice for Potential Travellers

Waterproof clothing and shoes is definitely required, as you visit some amazing Waterfalls. Weather can be unpredictable, so hikes could be wet and muddy.

Our First Exodus Expedition (And Not Our Last!)This

This was our ‘Trip Of A Lifetime’ and thanks to Exodus it exceeded all our expectations. We had always wanted to see the Rockies and our outstanding tour guide Isabel certainly ensured that we did!

Most Inspirational Moment

This has to be the Rockies. The mountains, waterfalls and wildlife, Isabel showed us it all.

Thoughts on Group Leader

If you were to make a list of all the attributes you wanted form a tour guide then Isabel has them all and then some. Isabel has excellent knowledge of everything from the mountains to waterfalls, glaciers to wildlife, she knows it all. My wife and I, and our travelling companions, were truly astonished at the excellent standard lunches Isabel was able to provide with only the facilities of a hotel room in which to prepare them. She could not do enough for us. Once she overheard us talking about Wagon Wheel biscuits, lo and behold the next day she produces Wagon Wheels at lunchtime. Isabel is a safe, competent, knowledgeable and And to top it all she is a safe driver who can handle a minibus and trailer with ease.
