“Great experience with Fresh Adventures on the nine day Rockies hiking trip. Our guides Jeremy and Laurie were knowledgeable, helpful and accomodating. There were some logistic challenges on the trip due to fires and smoke but Alex and the guides made sure we were safe and the trip as good as ever - communication was also always clear and transparent.The team was able to always make the best of the circumstances - for weather, smoke and group capabilities.The hikes were fantastic and allowed you to go to both popular tourist spots, as well as hidden gems.I would recommend those attending ensure they read any documents sent to you or the whole description of the trip - some attendees appeared to have not done-so and were surprised at some aspects of the trip (having to help put up tents, needing to drive to get to different walks, the presence of mosquitoes. Overall, a fantastic and privileged experience!”
“This was my first solo hiking and camping trip and I am so glad I booked 9 days with FreshAdventures. The experience was memorable and will stay with me forever. Our guides Jeremy and Lori were the best, they did everything possible in their capacity to make our experience comfortable (overcoming all the adversities with patience and a smile). Kudos and special thanks to them.The food was delicious and the places we hiked were unique and mix of different landscapes.Thank you Jeremy, Lori and Alex. Highly recommend this tour.”
“We have just returned from the 9 day hiking tour. It was amazing and everything that we had hoped it would be! The trails, the camping and the meals were all wonderful! We loved our group of fellow hikers and our guides. The inflatable sleeping pads are just as comfortable as advertised. I slept well! Marianne and Arthur went above and beyond to be sure every detail was perfect! They worked well together as a team. The choice of hikes and their care and concern for each of us was exemplary. The delicious meals definitely deserve a second mention as both Marianne and Arthur created wonderful dishes. Marianne left no curious questions unanswered. There were a couple of open edges that I was uncomfortable with, but Arthur was encouraging and supportive, and made sure I felt safe. His daily bear jokes added to our van rides and I'm sure his repertoire will grow. Thank you!”
“We just returned from the 6 day Rockies hiking/ camping and had a wonderful time. Our guides, Jafra and Norm are great cooks, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our groups various fitness levels. And they worked so hard. The hikes are challenging, yet rewarding after reaching the breathtaking mountain top. Would recommend this trip to anyone who is up for a challenging adventure!”
“We recently completed the 9 day Canadian Rockies camping/hiking trip. It was fabulous. Our tour guides Julian and Megan were great. We are in our 70’s and when faced with a lengthy hike, they came up with a shorter alternative for us and on a couple of others hikes we only hiked to a viewpoint. Both guides were very knowledgeable about plants, and geology and were encouraging and upbeat. On two days we were faced with smoke from the fires in the Northwest. Our guides checked the weather frequently and made alternative plans for shorter hikes in a different area. They ensured our safety at all times. The Canadian Rockies are gorgeous and if you are in good shape, love the outdoors and enjoy camping, this is the trip for you!”
“I had a great time with fresh adventures on the Rockies camping trip. The hikes and locations were beautiful, food was great, and our guides Amanda and Kailie were brilliant. Communication and organization could have been better, but the trip definitely a worthwhile experience.”
“We spent a great holiday in Canada this Summer thanks to Alex and Rob. Alex is a local guide, an expert in camping, a problem solver and … a skilled cook! If you enjoy walking at your own pace in beautiful surroundings, watching animals (large and small) living in their own unspoiled environment, admiring breathtaking views and trying some real camping, you will probably get an experience of a lifetime with one of Alex’s tours in the Canadian Rockies. We did the 9-days version of the tour with our son, nine years old, and we all truly enjoyed the experience. Upon our return home, he always asked us to do some trails! We also had a good time sharing this experience with fellow participants. We were a good group. In evenings we all sat around the fire, sharing an excellent meal and remembering the day. After that tour, we continued our vacation by car towards Vancouver Island, making use of the truly excellent advice provided by Alex. All the best to Fresh Adventure!”
“Alex was a wonderful guide and host on the 9 day hike through the Rockies in early September. He is friendly, knowledgeable about the places we hiked through and very accommodating to his guests needs. I cannot emphasise enough the quality and variety of the food provided, ranging from blueberry pancake breakfasts and cheese fondue lunches to chargrilled steak and fish taco dinners. It truly made the trip all the more special and unique to Fresh Adventures. The tent, sleep mat and sleeping bag provided served me well, keeping me warm and dry through some inclement weather. Be prepared to pitch in by putting up and taking down your tent and gear. You'll reach grandmaster level after 8 nights. The hikes we went on varied from reasonably gentle to challenging, depending on your fitness level. For the more challenging hikes, Alex provided options for those who didn't feel up to it. The other activities on offer, such as horse riding and a stroll around Jasper also added variety to the trip. If you're looking for a hiking/camping trip with a difference, Fresh Adventures is a safe bet. Thanks for a great experience Alex!”
