BEFORE YOU GO
Do I need to book my own accommodation?
No! Moose travel Network beds are available to passengers at all stop-overs only when they are traveling on the bus. However, please note the accommodation we guarantee is only at certain youth hostels and are co-ed dorm room beds only. Passengers wishing to stay at certain places or requiring more privacy are encouraged to book their own accommodation.
What should I bring?
Bring clothes for a variety of weather conditions. Summer temperatures can range from a hot 40 degrees Celsius to a cool 0 degrees Celsius in the mountains. Good trainers or light hiking books are recommended. Sleeping bags are not essential. In winter, be sure to bring appropriate winter clothing. Definitely bring your camera and great attitude!
How much should I budget for my trip?
Most of your money will be spend on the following three areas:
- Accommodation- budget approximately CAD$15-35 per night
- Food- budget approximately CAD$10-25 per day
- Activities- these range from free like hiking, canoeing, swimming to those such as bungee jumping, caving, skydiving etc. which may cost anywhere from CAD$20-200.
Can I purchase a rail link only?
No, in order to purchase a rail link, passengers must also purchase a pass valued at CAN$200 or more.
Is it ok if I travel alone?
Of course! Most of our travelers travel alone. However, there are as some couples and small groups of friends as well.
ON TOUR
What is the average age range of the passengers on the tours?
The age range is typically 18-35 but anyone young at heart is welcome! Travelers should be adventurous, independent, backpacker oriented and familiar with youth hostels/campgrounds.
Is accommodation included?
No, it is an additional cost that must be budgeted for, except for the Winter packages (Rocky Rager, Okanagen Powder, Big Kahuna and the Snowplow) which are all-inclusive packages.
Can I do my own cooking?
Sure! Most youth hostels we stop at have cooking facilities and we do grocery stops along the way. Often we organize group meals for those interested-it makes cooking fun, easy and cheap!
What happens if I don't want to participate in an activity?
No problem! You don't have to, as all activities are optional. We also guarantee there will always be more than one option and always one free option.
What are the buses like?
All vehicles are comfortable min-coaches with a seating capacity of 15-24 passengers. All buses are outfitted with the necessary equipment to ensure safe and fun atmosphere.
Why is part of the network covered by train?
All VIA Rail train links give passengers on our network the opportunity of reaching many interesting areas of Canada which our buses are unable to get to. The train is also relatively inexpensive, flexible and comfortable. All train links bought through Moose Travel Network are the lowest possible fares offered by VIA (whether they are student or not), entitle passengers to economy seating and allow for the ability to hop-on, hop-off at any stopover along the route.
If I "jump-off" the bus at some point, when can I get back on the bus?
We guarantee a minimum of 3 times per week (as often as daily in peak season) from each place.
Can I "jump-on, jump-off" the train if I purchase a rail pass?
Yes, however passengers must specify locations prior to first day of travel.
