Tours
HIGHWAY FEVER
Expect easy access to Alberta’s capital, Edmonton, itself a natural gateway to Alberta’s Rockies and the rich diversity of Canada’s North. Imagine herds of elk whose bugling calls echo through the mountain ranges; mountain goats who cling to sheer cliffs; deer as they slip through forest shadows; and the widest variety of birds imaginable — all spied from a white-water raft, hiking trail or while on horseback. Or perhaps, more to your liking, visit quaint little villages with fascinating museums, precious antiques, home-cooked comfort food and one-of-a-kind attractions. Whether you plan to leisurely explore Alberta in a few days, or literally have but a few hours to spare, we can tailor your sightseeing experience to your satisfaction. Sign up for a personalized group tour for a structured, guided encounter — or simply go solo and see the sights on your own.
HIT THE ROAD JACK

Alberta’s North
Edmonton is the starting point for this exciting trip brimming with discovery and history.
• Continue towards Athabasca, home to Canada’s leading long-distance educational institute, Athabasca University.
• Further east and north via Highways 55 and 63, you’ll come upon Fort McMurray, on the world’s largest oil reserve, the Athabasca Oil Sands Deposit. For a closer look at the development and technology behind the extraction process, visit the Oil Sands Discovery Centre or take a summer tour of the Suncor Energy mine. Other local attractions include exhibits of the oldest settlement in Alberta at the Fort Chipewyan Bicentennial Museum. Or visit Heritage Park to see a record of the city’s early history.
• Alberta’s north is famed for its fly-in fishing and hunting, large lakes and untapped wilderness, as well as almost-nightly winter displays of the aurora borealis (Northern Lights.)
