Moose

Where does the Moose Travel Network go?

Canada is a country to be explored beyond the cities.  Moose gets you to all the best places that are in between: the glaciers, mountains, waterfalls, glacial lakes, wildlife, and amazing vistas.  As a passenger you get the advantages of a "tour" but the flexibility and independence that backpackers desire.

Passes are offered on both the West and East sides of Canada. The interesting parts of the country are the "Coasts", with 4500km of "Prairies" in between. The prairies can be seen by travelling on the Prairie Rail Link or skipped by flying between Vancouver and Toronto.

The Big West, Big East, and Mega Moose Pass (combination of West and East Passes) are the main network of passes. These routes offer frequent departures, jump on/off flexibility, and the main highlights of Canada. In addition, the Moose Travel Network has a number of other shorter trips and tours for backpackers and adventure travellers. The main season is in summer (April to November), but there are winter options too (December-March).

What do the passes include?

All passes include transportation, driver/guide, road tolls, ferry fees and tax. Accommodation is not included (except on select winter tours), but we do reserve beds along the way so that you are always guaranteed a bed. Expect to pay between $13-35 CAD per night for a dorm bed. Food is not included but we make daily stops at supermarkets and all hostels we recommend have kitchens. In addition, we get great discounts at many cafes and restaurants if you prefer that option. We do include some free activities, mainly hiking and swimming, but we also get great discounts on many paid activities, all of which are optional.
