Bc and Alberta Nature Discovery

Come and explore western Canada’s incredibly varied landscapes, mammal, birds and flowers. We travel from the wild westcoast into the Coastal and Rocky mountains to end in the prairie grasslands of Alberta. From the mild Pacific shores to the scorching semi-deserts of the Alberta Badlands. We do this Nature Trek Canada style – not a sit-down safari where we try to ‘score’ a bird list but a discovery of every landscape with time to observe, enjoy and photograph.

During this nature discovery we pass through various landscapes by various means – day hikes, marine excursions by Zodiac and sailboat, kayaking, a day-long ferry trip and a multi-day canoe trip. During this trip we will go into some areas that are largely unknown and not well travelled. They were chosen because as a whole, they represent a wonderful cross-section of Canadian landscapes. Sometimes local 'experts' will join in too.
