Itinerary
Begin your journey skirting the edge of one of the world's great urban parks — 400 hectares of ancient forest, dramatic seawall, and sweeping views of the Vancouver skyline and North Shore mountains. Stanley Park is Vancouver's crown jewel, and the perfect first impression of the Pacific Northwest.
Sweep across the iconic Lions Gate Bridge — one of Canada's most recognizable landmarks — as the Pacific Ocean stretches out below and the twin peaks of The Lions preside over the North Shore mountains ahead. A cinematic gateway from the city to the wilderness beyond.
Nestled at the foot of the mountains where the Sea to Sky Highway begins in earnest, Horseshoe Bay is a charming seaside village framed by dramatic cliffs and the deep blue waters of Howe Sound. Watch BC Ferries glide in and out as the city falls away and the real adventure begins.
Journey one of the world's most scenic highways — a spectacular 120km route hugging the cliffs above Howe Sound's turquoise fjord, with towering snow-capped Coast Mountains rising on both sides. Your expert guide narrates the story of the landscape, the Skwxwu7mesh (Squamish) and Lilwat Nations whose territory you travel through, and the natural wonders unfolding outside your window.
Soar above the treetops and into the alpine on one of BC's most spectacular gondola rides. From the summit, panoramic views of Howe Sound's turquoise fjord and the snow-capped Coast Mountains stretch endlessly in every direction. A true highlight of the Sea to Sky corridor.
Suspended high above the forest canopy at the Sea to Sky Gondola summit, the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge delivers one of the most dramatic perspectives in all of British Columbia — nothing but mountain air, jaw-dropping views of Howe Sound, and the vast Coast Mountains stretching endlessly below your feet.
Welcome to one of the world's great mountain towns. Host of the 2010 Winter Olympics and consistently ranked among the top ski and outdoor destinations on the planet, Whistler Village is a vibrant pedestrian paradise of award-winning restaurants, boutique shops, and stunning alpine scenery.
