Great to hear the Aussie accent, we are headed to Banff in August 2025 as part of our Canada and Alaska holidays , we are heading over from Jervis Bay NSW south coast , so it’s great to hear about this option and opportunity to help us enjoy our time in Canada and Alaska !

Are crampons needed for walks/hiking (e.g.: your #3)? Or proper winter boots are enough?
@caitlinlaurent
@caitlinlaurent 5 күн бұрын
Proper winter boots are a must but crampons can be very helpful for icy spots. I would recommend carrying them with you just in case, conditions change so quickly and popular areas can become really icy!

We did have our own which was nice! In saying that it was only because we were traveling for a long time and through different climates. If you’re just doing Guatemala or Central America, you won’t need either in general so I would leave it behind if you’re right for space! I found Lava Trails had a good selection of clothes, they want you to be set up for success :) I’m summary - if you have luggage space you can totally bring your own. If you’re tight on space, don’t worry as they should have it!

Hi lovely! It depends on what you want to see, if you aren't hiring a car, a tour would be great for the icefields parkway and some other amazing areas (let me know if you want recommendations and ill find some companies I recommend!). A lot around the town of Banff you can do yourself though for sure!
