West Trek Tours has “jumped-on” the budget travel scene with an all new backpacker and hostel transport division crafted to change the way travellers experience the Canadian West!

Our new Jump-on, Jump-off product offers premium tours and unique experiences with flexible options for backpackers and hostel travellers. With 10 years of operational experience and a growing list of reputable partners including Hostelling International Canada and The Cambie Hostel Group, West Trek Tours is well positioned to take the market by storm with this innovative, new product.

Forged from the minds of some of the best guides in the biz, our tours offer backpackers more scenery, more time in the wild, and more adventure than any other company; all at an unbeatable price designed to fit into a travellers budget.

West Trek “is” the Backpacker’s Road to the Canadian West! Fast and easy online booking, the convenience of multiple pick up and drop off locations, flexible travel schedules and a brand new fleet of clean, comfortable, mini coaches are just a few of the features unique to West Trek’s backpacker tours.

In addition to these superior amenities, travellers will benefit from West Trek Tours’ Canadian guides - seasoned locals with a passion for their home turf and exceptional knowledge of the Canadian West. And with over 50 years’ of cumulative tourism experience between the operators, you can bet that there isn’t much that they don’t know.

West Trek Tours is the industry leader in budget travel, great value, and unique tours. The Vancouver-based tour operator currently operates four divisions including: Budget and Deluxe Tours of Western Canada and the U.S.; West Trek Sport and Social, an activities based group; Charter Services with a fleet of 15 buses; and the new Jump-On Jump-Off Backpacker and Hostel Transport Division.

The old man of the crew, at 37, Chris has done his share of globetrotting including Carnival in Brazil , Oktoberfest in Munich and Unification Celebrations at the Berlin Wall. With more than a dozen years in tourism he still brings a great deal of passion & enthusiam to his work. His attention to detail keeps the division running smoothly. Chris’ wife, two beautiful children and garage band are his full-time hobbies (with a little hockey thrown in for stress relief).

John Rodgers, Operations Manager

“JR” is our resident expert on all things GUIDING. After his own travels (which included a year in Melbourne), Johnny spent 4+ years showing backpackers British Columbia & Alberta through his eyes which earned him legendary “SuperGuide” status. With his fingerprints all over our product, passengers can rest assured they’ll get the Best of the West. As long as Tool doesn’t recruit him to play bass, JR is here for the long haul.

Pete Moores, Marketing & Sales Manager

A seasoned West Trekker, Pete’s been a major ingredient in the success of the company. An experienced world traveller & backpacker himself, he knows his business. When he’s not working (which is never), it’s the beaches, awesome powder days, waves and cold beer that keep him sane.

Trevor Sowa, Marketing & Sales

A local Tourism Management graduate, SoVa’s charm and smarts are a winning combination. Rounding out our team of travellers, Trevor has a million road-trip stories he loves to share over a few pints. If there is a West Trek event on, you know who’ll be at the heart of it. As an expert “two-planker” the only place you’ll find SoVa in the winter is going Mach 3 down a Black Diamond run.
