About Into The wild Tours
“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” — Confucius
Before the tours, it was just the two of us wandering the Rockies together—sharing early-morning coffees beside alpine lakes and celebrating every new trail like a small victory. Living in the heart of the Rockies shaped us in ways we never expected. As a couple who built a life here—hiking, exploring, and connecting with the community—we felt compelled to share these mountains in a more genuine, local way. That feeling grew into Into the Wild Tours.
Since the summer of 2023, we’ve welcomed guests from all over the world into our version of the wild: meaningful moments, quieter paths, and guided experiences shaped with care. We’re hikers, storytellers, nature-lovers, and hosts at heart—and we built Into the Wild Tours so you can feel that same connection to these mountains that has shaped our lives.
Our Vision
Our vision has always been simple: to create experiences that feel personal, meaningful, and true to the spirit of the Canadian Rockies. As we’ve grown, that purpose hasn’t changed—it’s only become clearer.
We believe the magic of travel isn’t just in checking destinations off a list. It’s in the quiet moments: the first light touching Moraine Lake, the sound of snow crunching under your boots, or the feeling of standing somewhere so beautiful it slows you down. Those are the moments that stay with you, and they’re the moments we build our tours around.
Living here in Canmore, surrounded by peaks we know like old friends, has shaped the way we guide. We don’t just take people to famous viewpoints—we share the hidden corners, the peaceful trails, and the timing that turns an ordinary visit into a memory you’ll talk about for years.
Every traveler is different, so our tours are never “one-size-fits-all.” Whether someone wants a simple shuttle, a custom itinerary, a sunrise adventure, or a slow-paced day in nature, our goal is the same: make it easy, make it comfortable, and make it unforgettable. We handle the planning so our guests can simply breathe, explore, and enjoy the Rockies the way we fell in love with them—wild, calm, and inspiring.
That’s the vision behind Into the Wild Tours: authentic experiences that feel less like a service… and more like being welcomed into a place we deeply care about.
Responsible Tourism
Caring for the Rockies isn’t just part of our business—it’s part of who we are. We live here, hike these trails, watch the seasons change, and feel genuinely responsible for protecting the places that have given us so much. Every tour we run is shaped by that mindset.
Adventure With Respect
Exploring the Rockies should never come at the cost of the mountains themselves. We work with local businesses, choose eco-friendly options, and plan our tours in ways that support the long-term health of the places we love. If we can bring travelers joy and help protect the region, then we’re doing our job right.
Thoughtful Choices, Everyday
Small decisions matter. From using fuel-efficient transportation to choosing biodegradable and recycled materials, we try to make choices that reduce our footprint. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being intentional and improving wherever we can.
Protecting Fragile Places
Living here has taught us how delicate alpine ecosystems really are. That’s why we gently remind all our guests: we admire flowers, berries, and mushrooms with our eyes, not our hands. These tiny details are part of what makes the Rockies special, and they deserve to stay right where they belong.
Giving Back to the Wild
For every guest booked, we plant a tree to help restore Canada’s forests. It’s our way of giving back to the landscapes that give us sunrise colours, quiet trails, and endless inspiration.
Leave No Trace, Always
We proudly follow and support Leave No Trace principles. It’s simple: take only memories, leave the places even better than we found them, and ensure future generations can experience the same wild beauty.
Committed to Sustainable Standards
Behind the scenes, we keep things eco-friendly too. We use recycled, biodegradable, and chlorine-free products that meet strict sustainability standards (like FSC certification), because responsible tourism doesn’t end when a tour does—it’s part of how we operate every day.
What Makes Our Journeys Different
Choosing a tour company shouldn’t feel complicated. At Into the Wild Tours, we simply share the Rockies the same way we fell in love with them—slowly, thoughtfully, and with a genuine passion for showing people the moments that photos can’t capture.
We keep our groups small because meaningful experiences don’t happen in crowded buses. We design our tours to be flexible because no two travelers seek the same kind of adventure. And we stay committed to eco-conscious practices because these mountains are our home—and we treat them that way.
When you join us, you’re not just checking off famous viewpoints. You’re traveling with locals who know the hidden spots, the quiet corners, the sunrise angles, and the stories that bring the Rockies to life. Whether you want a handcrafted itinerary or a comfortable, carefree ride with an expert driver-guide who loves sharing their backyard, we’re here to make your journey feel personal and effortless.
In short: we take care of the logistics, the driving, and the planning—so you can simply be present, breathe in the mountain air, and enjoy the adventure with your whole heart. That’s the way we believe the Rockies should be experienced.
The Rockies are calling, and we’d love to show you their magic. From Moraine Lake to Lake Louise and the hidden corners of Johnston Canyon, we’ll guide you through experiences that feel personal, relaxed, and full of wonder. With Into the Wild Tours, it’s not just sightseeing—it’s connecting with the mountains, and making memories that last a lifetime.
