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.

Our day trip in the hands of Ryan Li was a great day out. Pre tour contact was made with very clear instructions and pick up was spot on time. Ryan passed on a lot of information along the way and at each stop we received very thorough instructions, which ensured everything ran very smoothly. There was plenty of time at each stop and although a long day from pick up to drop off, it was well worth it.

We travelled with our fantastic tour guide Halley to the Sea to Sky Gondola and Whistler. Halley was great fun and very knowledgeable and really looked after everyone on the group. The day was a mix of beautiful views, easy walking trails and time spent in Whistler village. Easy pick up and drop off from various locations in downtown Vancouver and excellent communication before the trip. Highly recommended. Thank you for a great day 😀

Harley was a brilliant tour guide enthusiast and made sure our small tour of 9 got the best day out of the tour. The gondola was not running the time we were due but Harley rescheduled the day , we missed nothing and when we got back to the gondola the rain had stopped so the swap turn out perfect. Great day, lots to see and lots to learn by Hayley. Thanks would recommend
