WILDLIFE & ADVENTURE

Wildlife

Unlimited Opportunities - The vast landmass of Canada and neighbouring Alaska offer so many opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast and nature lover that no number of pages can do justice to the possibilities. We offer just the tip of the iceberg and the mini-packages featured in these pages are designed to be added to your regular holiday and none of the locations are so far off the beaten track that they cannot be reached by either car, ferry, rail or a short flight.

Naturally, if it is your wish to pursue just one of these activities on your trip, the package can be tailor-made to suit your specific desires and if you seek assistance, our staff, in many cases, can offer you firsthand advice from experience and an expert opinion that we hope will go to assist you with your travel plans.

Mother Nature - As a nature lover and outdoor enthusiast, you will know only too well that "Mother Nature" rarely, if ever, gives up her secrets or shows us her beauty easily and can also be very fickle with the weather. You must consider, therefore, that your quest for a trophy Salmon or the sighting of certain kinds of wildlife are, at best, left much to chance, however much skill or experience you can muster.

While every effort to give you options here that minimise the risks, or risk of disappointment or failure, it has to be said that there can never be any guarantees with these types of programmes. Our promise is to put you into the very best areas, during the prime seasons, and with expert local guides and naturalists yet, the outcome is very much in the hands of fate and we must ask you, therefore, to read very carefully the Warning and Disclaimer paragraph at the bottom of this page.

Adventure Travel

The Spirit of Adventure - What makes Canada the great destination that it is to visit, is its vastness and diversity. This diversity encompasses not only the multiple ethnic backgrounds of her settlers and the varying landscape from rolling prairies to the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, but also enables us to offer you just about any activity in this, its most appropriate setting. The examples that we show are really just the tip of the iceberg and we will be adding many more possibilities in the near future. If there is any particular adventure that you would like to participate in, simply contact us and let us know what you would like to do and we will try our best to get you further information on your chosen event.

The adventure options we have selected are, in the main, suitable for all members of the family who are in a reasonably fit condition and enjoy the outdoors, although certain activities require minimum weight and/or height limitations. They are not intended to make you feel like you 'need a holiday' when you have finished, rather they will add a little excitement and a level of challenge that will make you feel refreshed and energised. Also we hope it will give you a great sense of wellbeing and affinity for the natural world around you.

Easiness & Difficulty Rating - Throughout this section the level of fitness required for each particular event is indicated as follows:

Super Easy: Invite Grand-Ma and Grand-Pa along, it's a real easy! (However, chances are they are fitter than you!)

Easy: Grand-Ma and Grand-Pa are welcome, but you may have to help them (or they help you) here and there.

Moderate: Some degree of difficulty experienced and you should be in a fit condition, do not suggest to invite Grand-Ma and Grand-Pa along.

Testing: Occasionally very difficult and may require carrying loads. You should be very fit and certainly do not invite Grand-Ma and Grand-Pa along.

Very Testing: Extreme difficulty, so never even consider inviting Grand-Ma and Grand-Pa along! For the very fit, active and experienced adventurers. Some severe hardship could be involved.

Warning & Disclaimer

lf you choose a package or an individual item for your trip that involves acts of skill such as horseback riding or rafting, for instance, or if you are taking a journey for the express purpose of watching wild creatures in their natural habitat we offer no guarantees, explicit or implied, as to performance or satisfaction.

Wildlife in its natural habitat can be dangerous and you must NEVER approach or feed any wild animal or interfere with their young. UNLESS you are given specific authorisation to do so by a qualified Park Ranger or Naturalist. and then only at your own risk. We arrange these types of trips on the express understanding that there is NEVER any guarantee that wildlife will perform to order and appear for the benefit of us mere mortals.

If you are participating in an indoor or outdoor activity of any sort you warrant that you will exercise all due care and diligence in the pursuit of the activity and that your conduct and behaviour will be bound entirely in accordance with the instructions or directions given to you by any accompanying tutor or guide or any other member of staff of the service provider.

You will, in nearly all cases, be required to sign a disclaimer or waiver of liability before you partake in any activity. We will not sell any adventure option unless you are issued with either our own Travel Insurance or you send us proof in writing that you have equal or better coverage with another insurer.
