Itinerary

Vancouver to Whistler (Roundtrip)
- Travel the Sea-to-Sky Highway, tracing a route along the shore of Howe Sound. The route weaves deep into the Coast Mountains and then climbs through old-growth rainforests before reaching Whistler.
- Stop for a photo at Shannon Falls and capture the first impressive shot of your adventure!
- Step aboard the Sea to Sky Gondola near Squamish to reach the peak for stunning views. Gain a new perspective if you dare cross the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge.
- Arrive in Whistler Village, and join a guided walking tour through the village (optional participation).
- Enjoy free time to explore the village or participate in a variety of optional activities (additional cost), such as ziplining, e-biking, and more.
- Relax and recap on an amazing Whistler experience as we drive back to Vancouver for about 90 minutes. Return to Vancouver at approximately 20:00 pm.

Shannon Falls
Take in some of the most scenic views in British Columbia as you ride along the edges of the Howe Sound towards your first stop, Shannon Falls. At 335m (366 yards) high, Shannon Falls is the third highest waterfall in British Columbia, offering the perfect location for hiking enthusiasts, family picnics and access to other well-known trails around Stawamus Chief Park.
Sea to Sky Gondola
Journey up the Sea to Sky Gondola and ascend 850 metres (930 yards) to the top. Soak up the panoramic views of Howe Sound cradled by the Coast Mountains. Here, you can cross the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge and walk along forest trails to the observation platforms.
Whistler Olympic Village
Arriving at Whistler, you will have the option to join our complimentary walking tour of the chalet-style pedestrian village, the beating heart of this resort town. For those who prefer to explore on their own, you will have plenty of time to visit the shops, stop in an art gallery, or do as the locals do and find the perfect patio for a moment to relax with stunning views. You can also ask us about additional activities that we offer at special rates, such as e-biking, ziplining, or visiting the First Nations' Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre.
Sea to Sky Highway back to Vancouver
The journey to and from Whistler itself is a thing of pure beauty. Taking you along the world's most southern glacial fjord, it is easy to see why this drive is ranked as one of the top 5 in the world. Don't forget to look out for the old copper mine at Britannia Beach, once the largest copper mine in the British Empire, and to gaze up as we pass the world's 2nd largest granite monolith, the Stawamus Chief, at 700 metres (2297 feet). Those little colourful dots you may see are the brave climbers hanging from the rock face!

Great day in Whistler.
Incredible sea and mountain views from the bus and the gondola. Kim the guide kept up interesting and informative commentary even when we were alone in the busgoing to the pick-up and drop- off. Kim warned us about bears. My wife and I came across one in a Whistler street. It seemed more interested in eating the wildflowers than eating us.
