Leave the city of Vancouver behind and enjoy a full day small group excursion to the famous resort town of Whistler! You'll journey past 7,000 foot mountains, see the third highest waterfall in British Columbia and have ample free time to sample the exciting year-round activities on offer in Whistler Village.
Scheduled tour stops include Squamish, Whistler Village, Shannon Falls and the new Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Museum. With a maximum group size of 24 passengers led by a friendly and knowledgeable driver-guide, you are ensured of a personal and intimate experience on this memorable day trip from Vancouver.
Following pickup from your hotel, you'll travel by mini-coach to Whistler through the scenic 'Sea-to-Sky' corridor. En-route you'll enjoy spectacular views from the peaks of the Tantalus mountains to the depths of the canyon of the Cheakmus River.
Next you will slow climb to 2000 feet above sea-level to reach stunning Whistler Valley. Here there are a number of activities to add to your itinerary available at an additional cost, including the record-breaking Peak 2 Peak gondola, zip-line adventure, snowmobile tour, ATV 4-wheeler tour, bear viewing and more.
Those feeling less adventurous can experience the charm of Whistler Village, host venue of the 2010 Winter Olympic. You may browse quaint shops, walk along forest trails or simply enjoy the mountain scenery. Or why not take advantage of your free admission ticket to the new Aboriginal Cultural Center and Museum?
On your journey home you will have the opportunity to stop at Shannon Falls, the third highest waterfall in Canada. Take a walk to the base for some great photos of this natural wonder or step back and admire the power and beauty of the cascading waters before continuing your scenic journey back to Vancouver.
Truly a day spent in touch with nature!

What an amazing day this was. I took the advantage of a three hour snow mobile experience - first time and truly unforgetable. I felt like a young boy as I got to know the machine and grew in confidence with very able guidance. The mountains are breathtaking, and the opportunity to do the Peak 2 peak Gondola was brilliant. Can't speak highly enough of the whole time. Gerard (Sydney, Australia)
This trip was just amazing! Thanks!
the best tour gide Greg was supberb. to see snow and sites on way was excellent
Excellent trip and ythe tour guide was very well informed and obliging.
excellent - only problem was caused by Mother Nature (could not take the plane ride down near the glaciers ) but the bus trip itself and seeing Whistler etc was wonderful.-
Beautiful place. I had an amazing time!!!
The trip was worth it. The tour guide is really good in making everyone comfortable. He even made sure that there is interaction among the passengers. He broke the ice and we all became friendly towards each other.
I recommend the trip. The scenery is breathtaking.
It was a nice set up with hotel pick up and drop off. But, one could also take a public bus up and enjoy Whistler just the same.
Overall, the trip was excellent despite the rain. The driver (Johny) was informed, if a bit glib at times, but he kept us entertained. He was also quite gracious about taking pictures of passenger groups as the various stops we made.
His driving, however, was not so good. He consistently drove 5-10 kph faster than the posted speed limits despite the rainy, slick road conditions. (I could see the speedometer from my seat). In attempting to keep the speed up the transmission was constantly shifting trying to find the right gear.
He was steering was also somewhat abrupt, using less frequent large corrections (sometimes over- corrections) rather than using more frequent small smooth corrections.
As a result I was constantly banged either against my seat mate or the window as well as forward and backward.
He was a typical young male driver without enough experience in a 16-passenger bus to realize how close he was to the edge of the vehicle's performance limits. I would not take this tour again if he were the driver.
The only part of this trip that was not very good was the weather. We booked the add-on sea plane flight which was brilliant. The guide was more that helpful and very informative.
