Itinerary
Welcome to Calgary! After meeting and greeting today we'll waste no time heading towards Banff.Meet your Contiki crew at Calgary airport and it's off to Banff we go! You can choose to be picked up at the Days Inn Northwest, Calgary, or join us at the airport as some of your group will arrive from Vancouver.
Banff is nestled in the Rocky Mountains, so if you feel like getting nose-deep in powder again, you have three resorts to choose from - Mt Norquay, Lake Louise and Sunshine Village all offer a solid mix of relaxed and adventurous terrain. The town’s epic range of bars means there are countess places to choose from should you be keen to burn the candle at both ends.
Soak up Banff’s beauty from another angle today – perhaps take a helicopter ride over the snow-laden mountains, or go for a hike on the Johnston Canyon Icewalk which can only be described as spectacular. With thundering waterfalls, imposing cliffs and ice tenticles ev...
Those sick of riding downhill will be pleased to note they can give cross-country skiing a whirl at Sunshine, or if you want to make someone else do all the work, consider a spot of dog-sledding. Get arty in the afternoon at one of the town's many galleries. Over a drink tonight we will contemplate some seriously epic days of wintery wonder.
What better way to bid Banff farewell than a group gondola ride up to Sulphur Mountain? This could possibly be one of the best views you'll ever see, and the highest views in the Rockies at 2281m overlooking the Bow Valley. Afterwards, we’ll hit the road again and head to Calgary where the tour will come to an end - sob.

Who We Are
Enthusiastic. Young. Obsessed with finding the best holidays and adventures in the world. We are adventurers, while traveling or while working. We pursue bold lines of action, take the path less travelled and work hard. But most importantly, we have fun.
We believe that travel makes the world a better place. As Mark Twain said in Innocents Abroad,
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime."
(For an excellent illustration of this post, check out Zenpencils.)
We believe that people should have the best possible experiences to choose from, and not be stuck with the same choices for their vacations. This time spent is a chance to grow, meet different people, and have incredible experiences.
What's with the Name?
Have you ever felt like an alien in your own planet? Like the whole world is yours, yet you haven't explored it? Have you viewed the world from the top of Everest, or experienced the sedentary life underwater, where everything from your eyesight to weight is unfamiliar. If you haven't yet, then that's what we want you to see, feel and experience. We believe that it is our responsibility to experience life to the fullest and have many new experiences. Unless we do that, we are still, unfamiliar with our world. Aliens in our own Planet.
"Throw off the shackles and throw on a backpack!"
