Step #2
Names and phone numbers of those wishing to
share are exchanged and you will be responsible
to make contact to get to know each other a
little in order to ensure an enjoyable holiday
as roommates. If it is a good fit, call the office
back and we will proceed with booking you on
the tour as well as contacting your new travel
companion to book them.
Step #3
This step is the simplest! Pack your bags and
a taxi will pick you up from your home the
morning of departure! Your roommate will join
you on the tour for a wonderful, affordable,
getaway.

Peace of Mind Protection Plan
When choosing an Ageless Adventure tour it
is important to be aware of our Peace of Mind

Peace of Mind Plan guarantees a full refund of
all trip payments in the event of a cancellation

Wood Buffalo National Park; Hay River, nicknamed “The Hub” for its role as the distribution centre for the Territory; and Yellowknife, the
capital, now known as the “Diamond Capital of North America”. Enjoy the unique natural beauty of the area with terrific opportunities
