A great trip away with great people.
I went away on the Caribou trip this October and had a fantastic time away. I was part of a small group of 9, and came away with 8 new friends. The tour guide Jeremy was brilliant, a really nice guy, and knowledgeable about all the places we went. The scenery was amazing, and even managed to find and Elk and a Grizzly bear. The hostels we stayed in were great, varying from an 8 man dorm, to a twin room at Revelstoke. The paddleboarding and kayaking were great fun, whilst the hiking wasn't too strenuous. There were numerous other activities to do at Banff on our day off, which were optional, but worth doing. I'd definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore Canada.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you had a fantastic time on the Caribou trip and made new friends along the way. Jeremy will be thrilled to hear your kind words. It’s great to know you enjoyed the scenery, wildlife, and activities, and that the hostels were comfortable throughout. Thanks again for your recommendation. We’d love to see you on another adventure soon!

What an amazing experience!
It was an incredible experience. The driver had amazing energy and was always attentive to our needs. The whole experience was wonderful, and the places we visited were like a dream. We visited the most beautiful lake very early in the morning, which allowed us to enjoy breathtaking views with the mountains’ shadows reflected on the water of Moraine Lake. Simply wonderful — Banff is one of the best destinations I’ve ever visited. I also met amazing people on this trip. Everything was truly spectacular.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear you had such a wonderful experience and that the trip felt truly special. It’s great to know our driver’s energy and care made a difference, and that you enjoyed the stunning views at Moraine Lake and throughout Banff. We’re delighted you met amazing people along the way and had such a memorable time. Hope to see you on another adventure soon!

Book it
Awww man. Where do I start with this tour. One of the best things I've done in my life. Jeremy was incredibly fun and approachable and knew the area very well. On the day off in Banff, he gave a range of recommendations. I was lucky with my group as it was a smaller group (14 of us max) and we all bonded very well and now have some new international friends- Jeremy defo helped with us becoming closer. There were a lot of solo travellers on this tour so don't let that put you off. This was the first group tour that was longer than a day and was worth every penny. The days were long but that was fine by me as i enjoy packed days (and we could sleep on the bus). So to Jeremy and the group, I love you all very much and thank you for an incredible experience xx
Response from the operator: Hello, and thanks for the amazing feedback! We really appreciate the kind words, and I'm glad that you had a wonderful trip. I will also pass on your kind words to Jeremy. Cheers and safe travels,

Fantastic way to see The Rockies and meet people
Just finished the 8 day Moose tour of the Rockies. Superb and will probably go down as one of the best holidays I have ever had. Jeremy our guide did a great job and an eclectic group of strangers from all over the world bonded quickly. The enormous fun was only matched by the spectacular scenery. It was great value for money and I would highly recommend it to others. I wish I could do it all over again
Response from the operator: Hello, and thanks for the incredible review! I'm glad that you a great trip, and enjoyed the stunning scenery in British Columbia and Alberta, it is truly amazing! I will pass on your kind words to Jeremy as well. Cheers and safe travels,

Amazing adventure
I had the best time on this tour. Our guide, Jeremy, lived a long time in this area, so he knew his way around and was very knowledgeable. We saw so many beautiful lakes, waterfalls and so much wildlife, including bears, elks and marmites. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is after some adventure and does not mind sleeping in hostels and sharing the room with other people.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Caribou - Discover the Best of the Rockies (8-Days): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vancouver.
How much does Caribou - Discover the Best of the Rockies (8-Days) cost?
+
Prices start at $1,987 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vancouver usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Caribou - Discover the Best of the Rockies (8-Days) take?
+
Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vancouver is not rushed.
Is Caribou - Discover the Best of the Rockies (8-Days) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Vancouver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Caribou - Discover the Best of the Rockies (8-Days)?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Caribou - Discover the Best of the Rockies (8-Days) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Caribou - Discover the Best of the Rockies (8-Days)?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vancouver can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vancouver and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Caribou - Discover the Best of the Rockies (8-Days) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vancouver within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vancouver?
+
On Outty we rank every Vancouver experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Grand Bicycle Tour of Vancouver, The Stanley Park Bicycle Tour, Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Vancouver Lookout. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vancouver?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vancouver?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What happens to Caribou - Discover the Best of the Rockies (8-Days) if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Vancouver. Standard cancellation terms apply.
What do travelers say about Caribou - Discover the Best of the Rockies (8-Days)?
+
Across 13 reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, photo opportunities, knowledge and storytelling. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
