Country Overview Canada Tour Accommodation Type Peyto Lake

Canada Canada is diverse as it is big. Let’s start from the west... With a district population approaching 350,000, the picture-postcard provincial capital of Victoria was long-touted as North America’s most English city. But in recent years, fuelled by an increasingly younger demographic, a quiet revolution has seen the city transformed with bright-painted bohemian shops, wood-ﬂoored coffee bars and innovative restaurants. It’s worth seeking out these enclaves on foot but activity fans should also hop on their bikes: Victoria has more cycle routes than any other Canadian city. Vancouver is one of the cities that routinely tops the lists of the world's greatest places to live. But beyond the breathtaking snowcapped crags, city-hugging beaches and dense waterfront forests, the city's main outdoor, museum and gallery attractions will certainly keep you busy for a few days. Then there are the diverse neighbourhoods: SoMa, the West End, the kaleidoscopic thoroughfares of Chinatown and the historic, re-invigorated old streets of Gastown. The Canadian Rockies’ main range forms Alberta’s western border. Iconic mountain towns such as Banff, Jasper and Lake Louise are all within Alberta territory. Banff National Park, Canada’s ﬁrst, and its neighbour Jasper National Park are a haven for wildlife: bear, moose and mountain sheep all share the backcountry with skiers, cyclists and hikers. Calgary, the southern cowboy town has evolved into the fastest growing city in North America. Booming with oil money and spending it like there’s no tomorrow, the party is in full swing – even when the legendary Calgary Stampede isn’t on. In the east, Montreal and Quebec City are bustling metropolises with a perfect mixture of sophistication and playfulness and history-soaked preserved quarters tucked away in their back pockets.

BEST TIME TO TRAVEL You can visit Canada at any time of year, but most people arrive in summer when temperatures are pleasant and much of the action moves outdoors. Just what constitutes ‘summer’ though, varies by region. In southern Canada, it generally refers to the period between Victoria Day (late May) and Labour Day (early September). In the northern regions however, summer starts as late as mid-June and ends, often abruptly, with the ﬁrst snowfall in early to mid-September. In most areas, March to May and September to October bring fewer tourists and often surprisingly pleasant weather. Fall, which ﬁnds forests cloaked in a spectacular mantle of colour, is a great time to visit.

Alaska

Overview

Alaska Big, beautiful and wildly bountiful. There are few places in the world with the grandeur and breathtaking beauty of Alaska. Denali National Park, one of Alaska’s stunning wilderness areas attracts a million visitors a year. A single road curves 91 miles through the heart of the park, leading to off-trail hiking opportunities, stunning panoramas and wildlife, including mammals such as marmot and moose which are easy to spot. Caribou, wolves and brown bears are crowd favourites. However, the main attraction is magniﬁcent Mt. McKinley, a high pyramid of rock, snow and glaciers rising from the valley ﬂoor. Clouds will obscure Mt. McKinley more often than not, so be prepared to wait for the big picture. Not only is Mt. McKinley the highest peak in North America, it’s also a stunning sight when you catch its alpenglow in Wonder Lake at Denali National Park. A 400-kilogram brown bear catching a leaping salmon in its jaws is not something seen in Iowa, but a common apparition on Kodiak and Admiralty Island and in the scenic Katmai National Park, a hop-skipjump from King Salmon or Homer. An eight-kilometre-wide glacier shedding chunks of ice the size of small cars is another unique Alaskan sight; for this quiet thrill, venture down to Juneau, gateway to Glacier Bay National Park, or to Prince William Sound, boasting the largest collection of tidewater glaciers.

Alaska Range

OUR TOP PICKS FOR ALASKA 1 Denali National Park Great wildlife watching, hiking and backpacking, plus North America's highest peak. 2 Unalaska/Dutch Harbour Visit and learn about the forgotten WWII battles of the Aleutian Islands. 3 Misty Fiords National Monument Kayak beneath the towering granite walls and leaping waterfalls of this magniﬁcent fjord. 4 Anchorage Urban moose, downtown ﬁshing and excellent dining. 5 Juneau From mountain peaks to glaciers, the best day-hiking in Alaska.

BEST TIME TO TRAVEL Alaska’s size is the reason for its extremely variable climate. The Interior can top 32°C during the summer, while the Southeast and Southcentral maritime regions will average 13°C to 21°C. In the Southeast it rains almost daily from late September through October, while even a week of good weather in the summer will include a day or two when you need to pull out your rain gear. In winter, residents experience long nights, -55°C temperatures and the mesmerizing northern lights. The peak tourist season is early July to mid-August. May and September still have mild weather, and it’s less crowded.

Barrow

For adventurous types with a little extra time and a love for life on a grand scale – whether it’s kayaking through a sea of icebergs and seals around the coast of Kenai Fjords National Park, taking a dip in the Arctic Ocean and becoming a member of the exclusive ‘Polar Bear Club’ or witnessing a 35-tonne humpback whale breaching in Southeast Alaska – this state is a hard place to pass up.

The rest of the city spreads north into the Mendenhall Valley. Juneau is also Alaska’s cruise-ship capital and the gateway to many attractions, including Glacier Bay National Park and Admiralty Island National Monument. Anchorage offers the comforts of a large US city but is only a 30-minute drive from the Alaskan wilderness. Founded in 1914 as a work camp for the Alaska Railroad, the city was devastated by the 1964 Good Friday earthquake but quickly rebounded as the industry headquarters for the Prudhoe Bay oil boom. Today almost half the state’s residents live in or around the city, as Anchorage serves as the economic and political heart of Alaska. 58

EXPEDITION CRUISE

EXPLORING ALASKA’S COASTAL WILDERNESS 8 Days/7 Nights from $7875* W

“The long days of summer allow for wildlife viewing well into the evening hours.”

Experience the remarkable beauty of southeastern Alaska on a voyage into a land of mistshrouded fjords, tidewater glaciers, and islands teeming with wildlife. Sailing aboard the National Geographic Sea Lion or the National Geographic Sea Bird, search for orcas and humpback whales, kayak around dramatic icebergs, spend a full day in Glacier Bay National Park, and learn about Alaska's rich Native American heritage. Day 1: Juneau Arrive in Juneau, the capital of Alaska. Visit the imposing Mendenhall Glacier and the Alaska State Museum. There is time to explore Juneau on your own before embarking the ship in the late afternoon. D Day 2: Tracy Arm Enter Tracy Arm, a spectacular 22-mile-long fjord where waterfalls cascade from towering, glacially carved walls. Maneuver among large icebergs, keeping an eye out for feeding bears on the shoreline and mountain goats on the cliffs above. B L D Day 3: Petersburg A visit to Petersburg provides a glimpse of a true Alaskan town. There is an opportunity for optional ﬂight seeing over nearby LeConte Glacier (weather permitting) and for hikes on forest trails. Later, look for whales in the southern part of Frederick Sound, or explore LeConte Bay, a virtual sculpture garden of grounded icebergs. B L D Day 4: Frederick Sound & Chatham Strait These waters often make for great whale watching. Look for Steller sea lions hauled out on the rocky islands that dot the channels. Take a walk with naturalists along a quiet forest trail or kayak in the tiny coves. Meet Fred Sharpe to learn about his work with the Alaska Whale Foundation—which has recently made some fascinating discoveries about the region’s marine mammal population. B L D

Day 5: Point Adolphus & Chichagof Island Look for humpback whales at Point Adolphus, a favoured feeding area. Then cruise along the northern coastline of Chichagof Island and ﬁnd playful sea otters. Keep an eye out for eagles, which are commonplace in the surrounding Tongass National Forest, the largest national forest in the United States. B

Day 6: Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve Spend the day exploring magnificent Glacier Bay, where enormous glaciers flow from the ice fields far above. Watch and hear glaciers calving as tons of ice crash into the sea. Venture near islets that are home to seabirds such as puffins and guillemots, and look for humpback whales and orcas. B L D Day 7: Exploring Alaska’s Islands, Bays & Fjords Beachcomb, hike forest trails, explore by kayak, or cruise along Admiralty Island, where the massive brown bear is found, along with perhaps the world's highest density of nesting bald eagles. Enjoy a farewell dinner. B L D Day 8: Sitka After breakfast, disembark in Sitka, a unique town with a strong Russian heritage. Visit St. Michael's Russian Orthodox Cathedral, a striking testament to Alaska's roots prior to the U.S. purchase of the territory from Russia. Then explore Sitka National Historical Park, where totem poles line serene wooded trails. In the early afternoon, transfer to the airport for onward arrangements. B

CountryMOUNTAIN ROCKY Tour Accommodation Overview USA Type else in North America and is home to one of the USA’s deepest gorges, dramatic Hells Canyon National Recreation Area.

Old Faithful Geyser, Yellowstone NP

Called the ‘Live and Let Live’ state, Montana is a beautiful amalgamation of big skies, big bear and big rivers, made for ﬂy-ﬁshing (or Robert Redford movie sets). It’s a wild, untamed state, where even the biggest tourist attractions, Glacier and Flathead Lake, never feel crowded.

The Rocky Mountain region is so gorgeous, so packed with adventure, so bright, sunny and blue it’s impossible to stay bummed inside the borders. The region is fat with wildlife and towering mountains (think black bear in suburban swimming pools, an elk traffic jam heading into Rocky Mountain National Park). And there are enough adrenalin sports to satiate the most hard-core fanatic (think rafting Idaho’s untamed Salmon River or driving cattle on horseback and sleeping under star-studded Montana skies). The southern section of the jigsaw puzzle–shaped state of Idaho, sandwiched between the Pacific Northwest and the Rockies, serves enough activities to keep you smiling for weeks. When you need to return to modernity, there’s Boise. The low-key state capital is filled with funky coffee shops and increasingly trendy nightlife. It’s easy to get lost in Idaho, if you want to. The state is second only to Alaska when it comes to national forests and wilderness areas, has more lakes than anywhere

Some of the most arresting scenery in the entire country is found here, tucked away in the remote and wild state of South Dakota. The weirdly lunar formations of the Badlands, like an inverted Grand Canyon, are unmissable. Then there’s the Black Hills, full of forests, mountains, creeks, canyons, wildlife and two of the country’s most recognizable monuments: Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse. Elsewhere there are important Native American sites and some pleasant cities to explore. It’s flat, cold and way up there; but North Dakota is definitely not the same old ordinary vacation destination. It’s reputed to be the leastvisited state in the US, though that has more to do with location than appeal. Hunting is a primary draw, but North Dakota lends itself equally well to other outdoor pursuits including windsurfing and birdwatching. The more time you spend in the vast, wide-open landscapes, the more surprised you’ll be by the pockets of sophistication in Fargo, the state’s only major city.

Galloping with rodeos and pageants, the pioneer past is alive and kicking in the ‘Cowboy State’ of Wyoming. With much of its beauty derived from its romantic emptiness, sparsely populated state is the kind of place you’d expect to ﬁnd that lonesome cowboy riding the range, whistling a melancholy tune and embracing the solitude. Wyoming’s greatest bounty lies in its northwestern corner, which is home to two of the USA’s most magniﬁcent national parks: geyserpacked Yellowstone and the majestic Grand Tetons. Gateway towns, such as chic Jackson and progressive Lander, are ideal launch pads for epic hiking, camping, climbing and skiing adventures in the region.

Country TourTourism Responsible Accommodation Type

Responsible Tourism At Adventure World we promote responsible travel to areas that conserve the natural environment and improve the well-being of those indigenous people. Working closely with our local ground operators, several who have won the prestigious AITO (Association of Independent Tour Operators) Responsible Tourism Award, we aim to promote responsible, sustainable tourism in all areas we visit. Tourism can be a positive force; notably providing income for poor communities and backing conservation by demonstrating those delicate habitats and their animal inhabitants are worth more to local people intact.

Understanding the potential harm that can come from promoting tourism through many of the delicate environments in which we operate is reﬂected in our ideology of 'leave no trace' tourism and we are continually monitoring our ground operations to ensure they meet with our high standards. Adventure World also offers a range of Volunteer Tours to various destinations, where you can combine a rewarding volunteer program with an exciting holiday.

Tour Accommodation Booking Type Conditions Country IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PRIOR TO MAKING YOUR RESERVATION 1. VALIDITY This brochure is valid from 01 October 2011 to 31 March 2013. 2. HOW TO BOOK We recommend booking well in advance by sending a non-refundable deposit of 25% of the tour price with a minimum deposit of NZD250 per person. Some of the tours and ground arrangements may require a higher deposit of up to 50% to meet local tour operator’s booking conditions. These details will be provided on confirmation of your booking. The deposit is required within 7 days of confirmation to hold your booking. The booking confirmation will include the exact deposit amount required and the due date of final payment. Please read these terms and conditions carefully and raise any questions you may have prior to making your booking. Receipt of deposit will be taken as an understanding by Adventure World that the customer has checked their confirmed travel arrangements and has read and agrees to abide by the terms and conditions set forth in this brochure. Any verbal quote given is an estimate only of the price which will be subject to advice on confirmation of the reservation, after which you will have 7 days to pay your non-refundable deposit. 3. PRICE GUARANTEE ON FULL PAYMENT Prices in this brochure are based on costs and exchange rates as at 29 September 2011. Should these costs change it may be necessary to make a surcharge on the price of your holiday which will be advised to you at the time you book. However no surcharge in respect to cost or currency fluctuations will be made to the arrangements of your holiday once full payment has been received by Adventure World, unless any changes are made to your booking in accordance with these terms and conditions. This price guarantee does not apply to: (i) fares, charges or levies imposed by airlines up until ticketing; or (ii) any taxes, charges or levies imposed by any government or their agencies. 4. AMENDMENTS One change per booking is permitted free of charge. Each subsequent change will incur a fee of NZD75 per amendment to cover extra administrative and communication costs. In addition, cancellation and/ or amendment fees may also be imposed by service providers such as accommodation providers and other service providers depending on the nature of the change. To the extent we are able to do so, we will advise you of all applicable cancellation and/ or amendment charges at the time of confirmation of your booking. Separate conditions apply to air arrangements and are set out in Section 9 of these terms and conditions. 5. LATE BOOKINGS A fee of NZD75 per booking will be levied for bookings made within 10 working days of departure from New Zealand. Any booking request made within 10 working days or within any relevant supplier’s cancellation period cannot be processed until full payment has been received by Adventure World. 6. CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS – LAND ARRANGEMENTS If you decide to cancel your holiday or you are unable to travel Adventure World will refund the amount you have paid less (i) our reasonable costs and (ii) any cancellation fees imposed by other suppliers. It is likely that other suppliers’ cancellation fees (which we will pass on to you) will be greater when cancellation takes place closer to the departure date. If you notify us of cancellation more than 60 days before departure, then the cancellation charges are likely to only be the loss of your deposit. If you notify us of cancellation less than 60 days before departure, the cancellation charges may be up to 100% of the total booking cost. Regrettably cancellation charges cannot be waived. No refunds are available for unused services after departure from original city.

7. CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS – AIR ARRANGEMENTS Cancellation fees will apply as required by airlines regulations and will vary dependant upon the type of airfare utilised.

Adventure World cannot be held liable for any increases in prices or changes in any airline regulations. Foreign currency airfares and airport taxes may fluctuate and are subject to the rate of exchange on date of ticket issue. Increases in airport taxes are not the responsibility of Adventure World and can be imposed up to departure. To the extent we are able to do so we will advise you of any increases of which we are aware at the time of confirmation of your booking. 8. CONSUMER CLAIMS Should you encounter any problems on your holiday it is always better to try and solve it directly with the supplier.

When it is necessary to change a hotel Adventure World reserves the right to substitute accommodation of at least a similar standard. Adventure World cannot be held responsible for any changes which may occur and reserves the right to increase the price of any travel arrangement up to the date of payment in full (or the date of ticketing in the case of airfares). This includes adjustment for fuel surcharges, airfare increases as well as international exchange rate fluctuations. To the extent we are able to do so, we will notify you of any applicable change in price prior to you making payment in full. Adventure World may update these terms and conditions at anytime.
