“I wanted to share with you my admiration for your team at Chilcotin Holidays. From the first contact with Alison to the last with Frank I was made to feel welcome and enjoyed being in the company of so many people so clearly dedicated to their work and to the support of each other.
Alison was not only accommodating in helping make the arrangements for the holiday I was looking for and unable to find with any other tour operator, but also very professional and efficient allowing me to meet the tight deadlines I was having to work to.
Your two guides that accompanied my group, Josh and Matty were brilliant. Two guys who looked after the needs of the group and who made every effort to get to know each of us. Evenings at the camp were always filled with laughter and helped make the whole experience that bit more memorable.” Edward Palmer, UK

Excellent Ice Fishing
One of our guides had his father out to visit just before Christmas. The two of them had a fantastic time on the lake down the road, drilling a hole through the ice and setting up their lines for an afternoon of ice fishing together. Their catch was plentiful and we were able to cook up the trout for all the staff and guests that night! Ice fishing is still available for the next few weeks either as a trip of its own or as an add-on to your ranch stay.
Early Bird Booking Discount
We have a special for those early birds who would like to book a Multi-Day Ranch Based Trip for the month of May or June 2009. This offer is valid for 15% off the price for a party of 2 or more on any ranch based booking of at least 2 nights during May or June. Offer lasts until February 28th, 2009.
Winter Predator and Eagle Viewing
“What an experience! I’ve never been so close to these animals before!” says Peter, from Germany. During his stay this December he got to witness the flight of soaring eagles and a pack of timber wolves as they scurried across the frozen lake looking for their next meal. We also had opportunities to track the trails of Cougar and Bobcat, which was a real highlight for Peter, who was looking to get a real taste of the Canadian backcountry.
New Website
Our new website is completely revised and updated, so it is easier to navigate, has more amazing photos, and the trip categories are separated better. There are also a few new additions. All the trips are now set up under two main categories: ranch based trips or camp based trips. The new site should be up and running for you shortly so stay tuned and check out all the amazing wilderness experiences by clicking here.
Cayuse Horses on Holiday
After giving their all for our guests over the summer months, our now woolly, fat and sassy horses are on holidays, and they know it! Our herd gets quite indignant when asked to do a one or two hour bareback ride through the deep snow!
Christmas & New Year's at the Ranch
Decorating a 18 ft. Christmas tree in the lodge is one of our long-standing ranch traditions, along with building ginger bread houses. Listening to the sound of the ranch piano and guitar music as well as having lots of outside fun, including riding horses in the snow, snow shoeing, building snowmen and drinking hot cider around the campfire were some of the activities our guests enjoyed. Spending New Year’s Eve at the ranch is a relaxing, quiet roll into the New Year with family, friends and few distractions.
Wilderness Lifestyle Adventures
Experiencing all the cultural and historical activities that the Canadian wilderness lifestyle has to offer is something not available anywhere else. Make a list of your once-in-a-lifetime must-do’s from the wilderness add-on activity list on the website and we will customize your next incredible wilderness adventure.
New Trip Options
Come up Friday night and enjoy the relaxed lodge atmosphere. On Saturday you can enjoy riding horses along our trails, taking in the breathtaking scenery. Sunday allows you to ride your favourite horse again or go on a short hike until noon and then wrap-up with lunch and be on your way back home, recharged and ready to start the next week.
