      Unfortunately, Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring participants to be between 18 and 35 years old. We recommend considering our open-age sister brands, such as Trafalgar, Costsaver, Brendan Vacations, Insight Vacations, and Luxury Gold, as they offer itineraries that may be a better fit for you.

    Asked on August 1st, 2024

    I was hoping to book this tour in for the next couple of weeks but as it includes Jasper I wanted to ask if the tour is modified around the wild fires and would we move to another town instead or are the tours cancelled due to this?

    Travel Support
    • ContikiOperatorWritten August 2024

      Jasper National Park has extended its closure until August 6, 2024. Some of our tour departures are impacted, including in Canada and the Rockies. As a workaround, all of the departed tours were rerouted. There is no update on whether the tour will be canceled due to the current situation in Jasper National Park, but rest assured, our team is closely monitoring the situation.

    What age range is this tour the most appropriate for? We are both 56 but are fit. We don't ski or snowboard but would be happy to canoe and raft down a river and possibly zip line. Can we whale watch as part of this trip or can you recommend a stop off for us after Vancouver?
