Comfortable bus, knowledgeable driver ( Clarkey). Beautiful scenery, sea to sky gondola was beautiful, great hiking options of different lengths, or lunch with an incredible view. Whistler has an option for everyone from children’s play ground, Cow’s ice cream, an array of shopping, restaurant’s, brew pubs, three gondola rides and many hikes to choose from.

Great day trip with an excellent guide Clarkey. His commentary, explanations and advice were first class. Just a great and interesting speaker. And he was very clear in his instructions so everybody on the full bus knew exactly what was expected of them. The stops at Shannon Falls and the Sea to Sky Gondola are very interesting with some great scenery. Whistler is a pretty little village to wander around and although we didn’t do the gondolas from there I imagine they would be spectacular. Thanks Clarkey for an informative day!
