The currency in Canada is Canadian Dollars and cents. Most international credit cards are acceptable although cash payment or travellers cheques will be required for many optional excursions.

A machine readable ten year passport is required by all British visitors to enter Canada which should be valid for six months after your return to the UK.  Visas are not necessary for British Citizens to enter Canada although an immigration form will be given to you onboard the aircraft for completion.  If your passport indicates you are a British Subject or you do not hold a British passport, visas for both Canada and USA may be required and you should check with the relevant Embassy at the earliest opportunity for the latest information.
We can only provide information for British Citizen passport holders.

Emphasis is on casual dress during the day, and due to the altitude and general weather associated with mountainous regions a good cross section of clothes would be advisable including anoraks/umbrella and jumpers. Most hotels offer a laundry service.
