Frosted trees, brilliant sunshine, vast open fields of glistening white...GeoQwest helps travelers discover a forgotten season. Our winter safaris find winter wildlife easily in a landscape without hidding places and few people to scare them away. Moose have stood motionless 30 metres from the truck, puzzled by our presense at a time where few vehicle travel the backcountry.

Ranchlands take on a whole new look with horses and cattle breathing clouds of vapour into cold, clear air while GeoQwest clients remain warm in our dual heater SUV.

Fresh tracks in new snow simplifies wildlife spotting as coyotes, moose, lynx, cougar, deer and a host of small creatures cross and use these roads in favour of the deep snow in the bush. Sorry, but the bears are hibernating!

Throw in rustic backcountry cabins or lodges to extend your travels into a unique multiday winter safari. Off season rates are just another added bonus! Teaming with backcountry accommodation and service providers, add a full range of winter activity to your trip. Bring your fishing rod and try some ice fishing! If it's done in the winter wilderness, GeoQwest will add it to your personal tour.

Try a Brand New Old Family Tradition and join us on one of our annual Christmas Tree Hunts. Starting December 1, GeoQwest carries families into the backcountry near Kelowna to areas where wild Christmas Tree cutting is legal. Armed with a permit to cut, we travel into the winter landscape in search of the perfect Christmas Tree. Charlie Brown would be proud! Bring the hats, gloves, tubes and tobaggans and make it a full family outing! A roaring fire and your favourite campfire foods and beverage make for a relaxing, fun family tradition.
