Overview

Calgary is a vibrant city located in the province of Alberta, Canada. Known for its stunning natural landscapes, thriving arts scene, and friendly atmosphere, Calgary offers a wide range of attractions and activities for visitors to enjoy. Whether you're interested in exploring the nearby Rocky Mountains, experiencing western culture and heritage, or attending exciting festivals and events, Calgary has something for everyone.

From its early days as a trading hub at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Calgary has been a place where western Canadians have come to find entertainment, camaraderie and a myriad of goods and services to fit any need. The city continues those traditions today, but now invites the world to enjoy spectacles like the Calgary Stampede, spend time with friends and family at the Calgary Zoo, or the on the steam train of the Heritage Park Historical Village, or explore the boutique shops and major retailers of the downtown area. Discover why people keep coming back to this bustling city at the gateway to the west.

At Entire Travel Group, our focus is Independent Holiday Packages. Available daily, they are pre-designed, purpose built, packaged itineraries full of memorable experiences delivered by our hand-picked local partners.

Our holidays suit every demographic, from couples to singles, to retirees to families and everyone else in between.

Can you book my international airfares?

On some Islands Holiday Packages (e.g. Fiji), it is practical to include flights, so where we have done this it is indicated by the plane icon.

However, on the majority of our Holiday Packages, we do not include international flights.

We found that many customers may prefer to:

  • Travel on a specific airline of their choice
  • Have the flexibility to book flights with Frequent Flyer points
  • Select flight dates that may be different to our Holiday Package start/end dates
  • Use a Travel Credit already held with the airline
  • Use their travel agent for this service

We are able to assist with flights on any Holiday Package, so please just notify us during the Book Now process or contact our team.

Should I take travel insurance?

Travel insurance is strongly recommended. During the Book Now process please confirm you require assistance, and our team will be in contact with you.

What should I do before travelling?

Before you travel it is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate documentation including visas. If you are travelling on a passport other than Australian or New Zealand, you will require a permit to re-enter Australia. It is your responsibility as the traveller and/or travel booker to meet all government entry requirements.
