Itinerary

45 min

Car ride towards Porteau Cove

15 min

Kick off your adventure with a visit to this coastal treasure nestled between the mountains and the sea. Porteau Cove offers a front-row seat to the deep-blue waters of Howe Sound, BC’s southernmost fjord. Breathe in the fresh ocean air, walk along the pier, and take in panoramic views of snow-capped peaks reflecting on the water. It's a peaceful and photogenic spot that's perfect for a quiet moment before the journey continues — keep an eye out for sea lions or even orcas in the distance!

30 min

Next, feel the rush of nature as you stand at the base of Shannon Falls, the third-highest waterfall in British Columbia. Cascading from a staggering 335 meters (1,099 feet), these falls are both powerful and elegant, surrounded by mossy trees and granite cliffs. A short, accessible trail leads you through a lush West Coast rainforest to the perfect viewing platform. The thunder of the water and the mist in the air create a revitalizing experience — a true natural wonder that brings you up close to BC’s raw beauty.

Admission included90 min

Prepare for a jaw-dropping ride up the mountainside aboard the Sea to Sky Gondola, where you’ll rise 885 meters (2,900 feet) above sea level in just 10 minutes. Each gondola cabin features floor-to-ceiling windows for maximum views of the surrounding fjords, forests, and mountains. At the top, take your time to explore the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge, panoramic viewing platforms, and alpine trails. The views of Howe Sound, Mount Garibaldi, and the Tantalus Range are nothing short of spectacular — this is a bucket-list-worthy experience that will take your breath away.

30 min

Tucked away in a peaceful forest just south of Whistler lies Brandywine Falls, a 70-meter (230-foot) cascade plunging into a deep canyon. The easy walk through old-growth forest leads to a dramatic viewpoint that offers one of the most picture-perfect waterfall scenes in BC. The falls are surrounded by basalt cliffs and framed by wildflowers and greenery in summer. According to local legend, the falls were named after a bet made between two surveyors over a bottle of brandy — adding a touch of history to this natural marvel.

120 min

Arriving in Whistler, you’ll discover a world-famous alpine village that blends outdoor adventure with charming mountain culture. Walk through pedestrian-only streets lined with boutique shops, galleries, restaurants, and cafés. Whether you choose to enjoy a leisurely lunch on a sun-soaked patio, visit Olympic Plaza where the 2010 Winter Games took center stage, or simply explore the area’s scenic walking trails, Whistler has something for every type of traveler. It’s lively, vibrant, and framed by rugged mountain peaks — the perfect mid-day stop to explore at your own pace.

15 min

Before the return trip, we’ll visit Green Lake, a hidden gem just outside Whistler. This striking glacial lake is named for its vibrant turquoise hue, a result of rock flour from the surrounding glaciers. Set against a backdrop of towering mountains and quiet forest, Green Lake is a tranquil and stunning photo stop that often goes unnoticed by the typical tourist. It’s a peaceful finale to your scenic journey — and the perfect place to reflect on an unforgettable day of exploration.

Amazing Day

Great private, professional and personable tour to see all the highlights on the way to Whistler! We enjoyed hearing and learning all about the places we visited and along the trip. Leonardo had great tips for us at every stop. Bucket list for us was the Sea to Sky Gondola experience. We loved having breakfast at the top of the mountains overlooking amazing breathtaking views. Highly recommend taking the Panorama hike to see the “Chief Overlook Viewing Platform”. We will never forget this experience and the many unforgettable views.Thank you Leonardo for a wonderful day!

Wonderful Tour Enhanced by Outstanding Guide

The itinerary is perfect in scope but it comes to a more vivid life because our fabulous guide Leonardo Cerda was unmatched. Personable, extremely knowledgeable, engaging and anticipatory of any and all we needed. This ‘private’ tour included four of us who were on vacation together. Each stop built upon the last and Leonardo enhanced our experience of BC’s incredible beauty with insights and perspectives expertly conveyed along the way. Could not possibly be a better guide for this wonderful tour.

A great day around Vancouver and Whistler

What a fantastic time! Leonardo was amazing! And so professional. Pick us up right on time from our hotel and toured us all day through Stanley Park, and Lake Park, Shannon Falls, Brandy Wine Falls, experienced the sea to sky gondola, Whistler, and multiple other stops for great photos along the way. He was knowledgeable about the area and took us to places with beautiful views that you don’t read about. He had a comfortable car and was a great driver. He makes you feel very comfortable and it was awesome being able to travel with just the family and him. If we are fortunate enough to travel to Vancouver again, we will definitely call Leonardo!

Operator was very patient and showed us how to make the most of our tour and took excellent photos of us. We definitely got a few pointers from him and would definitely book another tour when we get back to Van City!

The tour guide was very nice he took us to Porteau Cove little town on the way to Whistler it was peaceful place also Shannon falls was nice stop and we went on sea to sky gondola it was beautiful view up there.
