HIKING IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES This was an awesome trip, it exceeded all my expectations and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone with a love for the outdoors, gorgeous scenery and challenging hikes. This is a hiking trip, its full on and for the most part you will be busy hiking! There are a couple of opportunities to spend time in Jasper and Banff, catch up with laundry or do some souvenir shopping, but for me it was all about the Rockies and enjoying panoramas that no photograph could ever do justice! All the hikes are perfectly doable if you have a good level of fitness and a real desire to get to the top! Youre in the Rockies, the elevation gain is going to be tough, but all the pain will be forgotten the second you get to the top every hike has a prize of the most spectacular views!
WHALES & BEARS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Canada truly is 'The Great Outdoors!' - fir tree covered mountains and windswept, rocky beaches provided the backdrop to some exciting wildlife encounters. As well as the natural beauty of Vancouver Island, I was really impressed by the city of Vancouver and the virtually endless blue skies that we were lucky enough to experience.
Havana's Afro-Cuban Culture I really enjoyed this tour. The host did an excellent job of informing us about Afro-Cuban culture. She was very socialble and willing to answer all questions. This was one of the highlights of my time in Cuba.
