In cities and larger towns across North America, you stay in well selected 3 to 4 star properties chosen for their comfort, character and consistent reliability.
Hotels are typically centrally located or well positioned for easy access to key sights and neighbourhoods, making it easy to explore on foot. Each property is selected based on a strong track record of traveller satisfaction and dependable service standards.
Across North America, you stay in a range of well selected lodges positioned in natural settings close to national parks, forests or mountain landscapes.
While not luxury properties, these lodges offer comfortable, well maintained accommodation with good facilities and welcoming communal areas. They are chosen for their suitability to the location and the overall experience they provide, keeping you close to the landscapes you are exploring.
Detailed trip notes outline the specific types of properties used on each itinerary, giving you a clear understanding of what to expect on your adventure.
Chosen for their desirable locations and local character, bed and breakfasts and guesthouses provide a relaxed and welcoming place to stay.
Rooms are comfortable and thoughtfully appointed, and meals often highlight regional flavours and homemade touches. Hospitality is personal and friendly, offering a warm reception at the end of each day’s adventure.
On many of our North America adventures, you camp in carefully chosen wilderness locations that bring you closer to forests, mountains and open landscapes.
You sleep in spacious two person tents, most with standing height, good ventilation and insect mesh for comfort. A dedicated dining setup is provided, along with a portable toilet tent where permanent facilities are not available or would be inappropriate for the environment.
This style of travel keeps you immersed in the landscape while maintaining a practical, low impact and well organised camp experience.
These trips feature in our Classic Adventures range.
On backcountry trails, mountaineering routes and glacier traverses across North America, accommodation is often in remote mountain huts positioned deep in alpine terrain.
Facilities are typically simple yet comfortable, reflecting the rugged environments in which they are located. Sleeping arrangements are sometimes dormitory style, in keeping with traditional mountain culture and the shared spirit of high country travel.
Staying in a mountain hut allows you to travel efficiently through remote landscapes while maintaining a practical and supportive base at altitude.
These adventures feature in our Classic Adventures range.
Bryan first visited Alaska in 2005. The roots grew deep and six years later he still calls Anchorage home. Guiding has been his passion since he arrived and he has led some 4,000 travellers through the state. Mountains and the adventure within them have always inspired Bryan. On any given day you can find him enjoying his 'backyard' seeking out powder stashes in the backcountry, casting a fly into pristine glacial streams, or just capturing the beauty through the lens of his camera.
