Introduction
Contiki offers exciting tours of the Canadian Rockies with
like-minded travelers aged 18-35 so that you can have fun, chill out and
challenge yourself in Canada's dynamic duo of provinces, Alberta and British
Columbia. Their diverse, physical beauty - from Whistler to Banff to Vancouver,
and points in between - feature the greatest of the great outdoors. Take a hike,
pal, or ride a bike along the many scenic, wildlife-laced trails. Better yet,
we'll put you on a gondola, horseback, helicopter, or whatever improves your
views and vantage points, for the endless, to-die-for photo opportunities.
