Traveling Solo? 80% of the women on your tour will be traveling solo!

On the Reservation Form there are 3 choices regarding room-sharing.
Note: Certain room-types may be unavailable at the time you make your reservation. If a room-type is unavailable the choice will be greyed out.

• Select "Yes, I want to share a room" and WTT will assign you a roommate when Final Travel Instructions are sent.
• You can specify a roommate by entering her name where indicated. If your named roommate is not on the tour, for any reason, WTT will assign you a roommate unless you pay to have your own room, if available.
• Select "No, I do not wish to share a room" if you want to have your own room. Additional costs apply.

A few facts about sharing a room:

• All shared rooms have 2 beds
• All shared rooms are non-smoking
• No special requests about your roommate can be accommodated
• See "Frequently Asked Questions" TAB for more details

• 40% Easy (walking involved)
• 50% Moderate (hiking, remoteness, boarding helicopters)
• 10% Strenuous

Each day of the itinerary lists the included meals for that day (B,L,D,O). When a meal is not included, the WTT Tour Leader will have suggestions for where to eat.

You do not have to dine alone unless it is your personal choice. You'll most likely be dining with new acquaintances you've made, or you can join the Tour Leader.

Dietary Restrictions on International Tours: WTT has limited to no control over food selections or variety from meal-to-meal, especially at hotels. While we do our best to accommodate dietary requests and ensure variety of options, we cannot guarantee either.

In general, the temperature during the day is anywhere from 50 to 90 degrees. Be prepared for constantly changing conditions. We suggest you monitor weather apps leading up to the time you depart for the most current information.

For the Trip You Will Want—

Good Packing Habits—

• Bring what you need to get a good night's sleep, such as ear plugs, white noise generator, sleeping aids, etc. Unfamiliar noises of all types can disrupt your rest.
• Pare down your beauty regimen to the bare minimum and always pack travel-sized toiletries.
• Pack medication in your carry-on and pack only as much as needed for the duration of your tour plus a few extra days as a precaution.

On every WTT tour, our policies regarding luggage restrictions are driven by the physical space limitations of the vehicles we use, the requirement that all travelers be able to manage their own belongings without assistance, and the restrictions imposed by other forms of transportation.

• You may bring one suitcase plus small shoulder bag/day pack/purse.
• Your suitcase cannot exceed 40 lbs due to the helicopter's weight limit. You will be traveling to and from Bobbie Burns Lodge via helicopter. 
• You are responsible for managing your own belongings. 

Only you can determine the optimum amount of cash to take on tour. When budgeting for out-of-pocket expenses, there are several aspects to consider:  the number of meals you are responsible for, the amount of money you like to have on-hand for snacks and drinks and cash needed for tipping.

• Notify your credit card issuer that you will be traveling and provide dates of travel.
• Canada's official currency is the Canadian Dollar (CAD).
• Credit cards are widely accepted throughout Banff and Calgary and for incidentals at the Lodge.

• You are responsible for Tipping Lodge staff. Tips are pooled and then divided among the entire lodge staff: guides, pilots, mechanics, bakers, chefs and wait staff. Tipping is a personal preference but we suggest $35-$50 per day. Tips can be paid on a credit card when the guests check out of the lodge (preferred) OR in Canadian dollars. It is always a good idea to check whether your credit card will charge you a 3% foreign transaction fee on purchases in Canada.
• You may want to tip your WTT Tour Leader for an outstanding job. The amount is entirely a personal preference. If you'd like a guideline, consider $8-$10 per day.
