Itinéraire
Explorez Howe Sound, le fjord le plus au sud du Canada, en vous aventurant dans le pays Sea to Sky, jusqu’aux montagnes côtières pour découvrir les forces de la nature qui ont façonné la beauté naturelle de la région au cours des 10 000 dernières années et plus. Avec ses forêts tropicales luxuriantes, ses montagnes s'élevant de la mer au ciel, ses spectaculaires chaînes de montagnes glaciaires, ses lacs, ses cascades et ses vestiges volcaniques, cette visite guidée surélevée met en valeur les merveilles de Dame Nature à grande échelle.
Vivez le frisson de l'aventure avec un tour au sommet de Habrich Ridge on the Sea to Sky Gondola. Profitez d'une promenade de 10 minutes, s'élevant au-dessus d'une canopée de forêt tropicale côtière et admirez une vue panoramique sur Howe Sound et les montagnes voisines par temps clair. Au sommet, profitez de temps libre pour accéder à un large éventail d'expériences en plein air, y compris deux différents sentiers de randonnée en boucle d'interprétation avec des plates-formes d'observation en porte-à-faux, le spectaculaire pont suspendu Sky Pilot et ou détendez-vous au Summit Lodge pour une collation ou quelques achats.
Poursuivez votre route en passant le canton de Squamish.
Montée dans les montagnes côtières, après le mont Garibaldi, un stratovolcan endormi, avant de faire un rapide arrêt photo au point de vue du glacier Tantale.
Continuez en traversant de vieilles coulées de lave volcanique pour atteindre Whistler, une station de montagne ouverte toute l'année et un village piétonnier. Profitez de votre temps libre et de la possibilité d'explorer les boutiques, restaurants, galeries et cafés uniques, de prendre des photos avec les anneaux olympiques tout en profitant de l'air frais des montagnes et de la beauté pittoresque qui attire les visiteurs du monde entier toute l'année. À votre retour à Vancouver, le paysage se présente sous un nouvel angle. En regardant vers le sud, des montagnes à l'océan, vous serez subjugué par les vues à couper le souffle le long de Howe Sound et en serpentant au coin de la rue au-dessus de Horseshoe Bay, l'horizon de la ville deviendra de plus en plus clair. Cette visite est l’occasion de découvrir de vos propres yeux la puissance et la beauté du feu et de la glace. La façon dont les glaciers se retirent, les éruptions volcaniques et les tremblements de terre sur des dizaines de milliers d'années ont créé la beauté naturelle du sud de la Colombie-Britannique que nous connaissons et aimons aujourd'hui.
Voyagez vers le sud le long de l'époustouflante Sea to Sky Highway, classée parmi les dix autoroutes les plus pittoresques au monde. Arrêtez-vous à Shannon Falls, la 3e plus haute cascade de Colombie-Britannique pour observer la puissance et la beauté de ses eaux en cascade créées par un glacier suspendu il y a des millénaires. Cette cascade impressionnante est l'une des attractions naturelles les plus impressionnantes de la région qui appartenait autrefois à une brasserie locale, qui utilisait l'eau pure des montagnes pour brasser leur bière. Plus tard, la brasserie a fait don du terrain à BC Parks.

It was a very enjoyable tour and our tour guide Natalia was awesome - pleasant and knowlegeable. She gave us great insights all through the trip that kept us engaged. Her passion and dedication towards her job is commendable. Highly recommended. A huge thank you to Natalia and Viator.
Great tour very personal and the tour guide/driver was so informative I think her name was natatashia from the Ukraine lovely lady 5 star
Best experience with Natalia, small group experience she was SO NICE and informative, flexible and conversative
We had a wonderful tour with Natalia . She is an outstanding guide who showed us a wonderful time on our tour. She was very patient with letting us take pictures at many locations and was very knowledgeable about each location that we went to.
Our tour guide Nigel and our driver Maggie took very good care of us. Nigel was funny, knowledgeable, and kept us entertained by sharing many of his fishing stories and experiences. 😊 My favorite part of the tour was taking the Sea to Sky Gondola to the top of the mountain in Squamish. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and walking across the suspension bridge was a highlight as well. Whistler is a little bit disappointing because it felt like a small shopping village than I had expected. However, getting to hold a torch and take a photo in front of the Olympic Rings was a unique experience. Shannon Falls was also a nice, quick stop to explore.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear Nigel and Magie took such good care of you throughout the day. It's wonderful to know Nigel's humour, local knowledge, and personal stories made the journey so entertaining. We're glad you enjoyed the breathtaking views from the Sea to Sky Gondola, the suspension bridge, and the Olympic torch photo opportunity. We also appreciate your honest feedback about Whistler and are pleased you had such a memorable overall experience.
Had a great trip. Our guide Natalia was lovely. She added in a few surprises, one being she brought the Olympic torch with her. She was so informative and funny. She is an asset to her company. Whistler was well worth the visit. I would recommend this trip and this company.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so pleased you had such a memorable trip to Whistler. It's fantastic to hear Natalia's warmth, humour, and informative commentary made the day so enjoyable, and that the Olympic torch photo opportunity was a fun surprise. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we'll be sure to share your kind words with Natalia—they'll make her day!
We were so excited to ride the gondola car and to see Whistler but had no idea how amazing the rest of the trip would be. From being picked up and dropped off at our residence to the stunning views of fjords and islands and mountains, the trip was amazing. I cannot say enough about our driver Maggie and our guide Nigel. The knowledge of the areas visited and information about the copper mining, new industry, fishing, and the personalized recommendations for activities for the day as well as other must-do things while we were in Vancouver were so very helpful. The personal information shared made them not guide and driver but really cool group members. Thank you for a great day and we will gladly take another trip when we come back to Vancouver.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review! It’s wonderful to hear the day exceeded your expectations and that the journey itself became just as memorable as the destinations. We're so pleased Nigel's local knowledge, personal recommendations, and engaging storytelling, together with Magie's smooth driving, helped create such a welcoming atmosphere. Knowing you felt like part of the group is one of the nicest compliments we could receive. We look forward to welcoming you back on another adventure when you're next in Vancouver!

Amazing day. Kim made us feel really welcomed and was a fantastic guide with an abundance of knowledge. The views from sea to sky gondola where some of the best we have ever seen. We had some great food in Whistler and a lovely pleasant walk around with pictures at the Olympic rings.

I highly recommend this! Natalia and our female bus driver (forget the name) were friendly and informative. The bus is new with recliner seats, power ports and a bathroom. We had plenty of time at the various stops. Great way to see Whistler village, Shannon Falls and the Sea to Sky Gondola.
