Spring/Summer RV Tour

In addition to all the activities (see Highlights) that are covered, each tour also includes a Milepost, free pet walking on tour days, eight celebration dinners, seven lunches, all of your campground reservations for the duration of the caravan, tips/gratuity for all provided meals and on tours, personal concierge service before and during the trip, free surprise gift at the welcome party, satellite phone usage through Canada for calling home, and use of long-range radios throughout caravan.

If you should happen to have a breakdown during the tour, our tail gunner will work with you to either get back on the road or wait with you for a tow truck to arrive. The tail gunner carries a satellite phone so that help can be reached from even remote locations. It is highly recommended to carry a membership with a company like Good Sam or CoachNet that includes towing in the US and Canada. If you are unable to continue the tour, you may receive a prorated credit, less any expenses incurred by Excursion Inc. on your behalf. 

Yes, you will need a current passport to cross the Canadian and US borders.

It is recommended to have a tow vehicle. We have built many “free” days for you to explore independently. We will give you a list of places to go and see.

Yes, welcomed and loved. We will take care of pet walking on your tour days so you can relax and enjoy it, and we offer walking on free days for a small fee. You will need current proof of rabies and a health certificate (within 30 days of entering Canada) to cross the border.

We believe in guiding, not dictating. On move days, the wagon master will leave early each morning to get set up at the next stop. You will have a sheet for those days with where you are going, how to get there, and fun things to stop and see on the way. Most of our drive days allow later starts, so don’t worry if you are not an “early morning” person. Some people may buddy up (though we discourage this as it means the person in the back misses the wildlife), and others may prefer to go alone. If you want to follow the wagon master, you are welcome to. The tail gunner will leave the parks at a listed time in case anyone has any issues. The goal of the move days is to enjoy some very breathtaking scenery, see wildlife, and get to the next stop in great shape. This will not be a race; the pace is set to minimize damage to the rigs and people along the way while maximizing the experience. 

Yes. We have chosen to keep our groups smaller so that we can focus more on quality vs. quantity. We hope you will leave this tour with new lifelong friends, including us. Furthermore, we will only be accepting 16 rigs for each tour.

Yes, gratuities are included in all tours and meals provided. 

This is one of the most asked questions. The answer is that most of the roads are no worse than the lower 48 except for a few sections. We know where those sections are and will give plenty of warning to you. This is one of the reasons we supply radios, so we can send communications down the line. The secret to those sections is to slow down (a lot). It is very possible to make the trip without damage.

This is a very important question that many guests forget to ask companies when deciding who to go with. Yes, unlike most of the other caravans, the wagon masters are very experienced with the Alaska Highway. They have completed over 17 trips up and back in an RV.
