2008 Tours

Talking Totem Tours has put together a collection of cultural and high-caliber sporting events and knitted in expert First Nations step-on guides to offer 1 day to 10 day small group tours.

Our Cultural Educational Group tours and immersion specialty tours work with tour suppliers that respect both the preservation of the First Nations' culture and the environment.  We provide eco-tours to sacred Sites and festivals and sporting events ensuring both unparalleled levels of cultural expertise with service and quality experiences.

The tour packages are located in First Nation communities and offer remoteness and raw beauty to places that have remained relatively untouched for thousands of years, except by the people who call these areas their home.

The packages combine world heritage destination sites and ancient native sites, in the territories of the Kwakwaka'wakw, Nisga'a, Gitksan, Haida and Coast Salish peoples.

We offer festivals and cultural tours where visitors are able to experience their closest encounters with First Nations people.  Visitors have a choice of 1 day - 10 day guided tour packages or of customizing a group tour. 

We still have available for this year, a railtour to Haida Gwaii in the Queen Charlotte Islands, a whale rubbing beach in Alert Bay, a sweatlodge ceremony on the Sunshine Coast, a railtour to the North American Indigenous Games on Vancouver Island and a cultural day - tour to a sacred site in the lower mainland.

Visitors can explore communities which rarely see a tourist at all, where tourism is harder to access and where community members attend traditional festivals and ceremonies that are open to the public.
