Tour Options
Itinerary
Leave the city behind and cruise the legendary Sea to Sky Highway, where ocean views and mountain peaks steal the show. Your guide shares local insight along the way, turning the drive into part of the adventure—not just a transfer.
Stretch your legs at Shannon Falls, a powerful 1,100-foot waterfall just steps from the parking area. A short, easy walk brings you face-to-face with one of BC’s most impressive natural sights—mist, thunder, and all!
Ride the iconic Sea to Sky Gondola to soaring viewpoints over Howe Sound and the Coast Mountains. At the summit, explore scenic trails, visit the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge, and enjoy panoramic views without breaking a sweat! Exclusion: For departures from Nov 12–24, 2025, the Sea to Sky Gondola will be closed for maintenance. Admission is not included during this period, the tour price has been adjusted accordingly, and the tour will end approximately 2 hours earlier than usual.
Welcome to Whistler Village—where après-ski meets upscale charm and cobblestone strolls come with mountain views! Spend free time in Whistler Village, a pedestrian-only alpine hub filled with boutiques, cafés, and world-class restaurants. Whether you’re shopping, sipping something warm, or just soaking up the mountain atmosphere, this is peak Whistler energy.
End the day with a peaceful stop at Porteau Cove, where calm waters and mountain silhouettes create the perfect final photo moment before heading back to Vancouver.

The scenery is so beautiful and the gondola ride is great. There is a suspension bridge and trails you can walk. You have plenty of time to explore and have a nice lunch in Whistler. We had Ryan as our guide and he was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Whistler Sea to Sky trip is great value for money. It gives you a real taste of Canada's mountains and nature. Ideal if you only have a day or two in this part of the world. Guide Ryan Li was superb. Full of knowledge and humour. He gave clear instructions and kept us very safe.

This was a wonderful trip to Whistler. We took plenty of pictures of the amazing nature and learned a lot about the history and events. Especially, our driver and guide, Halley, was very helpful — an excellent guide I have never met during my other trips.

It was an amazing experience. Our guide, Jake, was very knowledgeable & took us to more places than expected. Having 2 hours on top of the mountain at the gondola and having 3 hours in Whistler Village was ample time to experience each place & not feel rushed. Also, I was having back & knee issues causing me to be slower than everyone, & Jake was very kind & helpful to assist me getting in & out of the vehicle. He also did not make me feel like I was slowing down the tour, & was genuinely concerned able my well being. He went above & beyond compared to a tour guide from a different company that we had the previous day. Jake made the last day of our vacation to be a very special experience.

I had an amazing time on the tour! Our guide, Alan, was really friendly and knowledgeable, and shared lots of facts about the places we visited and kept us engaged on the road. We also managed to visit quite a few places, with sufficient time at each location (especially Sea to Sky and Whistler) to explore them.

This is an excellent one-day trip to Whistler that covers all the key attractions as outlined in the itinerary. Our tour guide, Ken, was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He communicated clearly throughout the day, ensured everything ran smoothly, and went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. Even though there were only two bookings for the tour that day, the trip was not cancelled and departed right on schedule, which we really appreciated.

We had a great day with Ken! Stopped at a very pretty waterfall, road the gondola, hiked in the beautiful forest, and had beautiful scenic stops on our drive back.
