Itinerary
Pass by: Departure from downtown Vancouver on the way to Whistler! Travel along the scenic Sea to Sky Highway.
The pedestrian village of Whistler is located at the base of world-famous Whistler-Blackcomb Mountains. This world famous ski resort also hosted many 2010 Olympic outdoor sporting events. Spend an afternoon exploring eclectic downtown shops and cafes, hiking along nature trails, or relaxing and breathing in the fresh mountain air.
**From November 12–28, 2025, the Sea to Sky Gondola will be closed. Tour pricing and duration have been adjusted to reflect the closure, with the tour operating for 8 hours instead of 10 hours** Our next stop is the awe-inspiring Sea to Sky Gondola. After an exciting 10-minute ride to the top of Habrich Ridge, your views change dramatically, rising above the towering canopy of a coastal rainforest and upward above Howe Sound and the neighbouring mountains.
With a stop near Squamish, Shannon Falls is the 3rd highest falls in British Columbia. Take a few minutes to view the thundering waterfall and capture some fantastic images on your camera!

Traveler reviews
Beautiful
Great way to see multiple areas when you are new to the area. Guide was knowledgeable and made the trip very entertaining.
If you are lucky enough...
If you are lucky enough to have Alex MacDougall as your coach driver and tour guide you are in for an extra special trip! The day of our trip was rainy and cloudy all day but the depth of the information that Alex provided us along with the history and stories about where we were going more than made up for the dreary weather. Shannon falls was beautiful and I particularly enjoyed the sea to sky gondola ride.
Information and beauty all the way!
Alex is an incredible tour guide and he made this trip stand out as excellent. He is so knowledgeable and imparts his knowledge with the perfect balance of humour and teaching. We were never on the bus for extended periods of time and he made sure we knew what was happening, what was coming up next, and expected timings. I would highly recommend the Whistler, Sea to Sky Gondola and Shannon Falls tour. It was great value for money.
Choose Canada- Visit British Columbia!
The weather was nice and comfortable to start with. There was already an agent at the pick up place to assist us. Her name is Roxy. The tour bus came on time with a pleasant driver/ tour guide. Her name is Andrea. It was truly a very organized trip from one place to another. Andrea took care of us and informed and told us all the things that we needed to know while on the trip. We had fun strolling at Whistler village , the gondola ride was amazing - seeing the beautiful view below and Shannon Falls was a total bonus- a short but very scenic experience. We made the right decision to see British Columbia and felt so proud to be Canadians with all the beautiful nature we can explore ! I’m already recommending friends and family to go with these tour buses- very affordable and so relaxing! Our heartfelt thanks to Andrea and all staff for a well organized trip. 🙏😀
Beautiful, interesting, and the best value for your money on any Vancouver trip
Superb! Beautiful, multiple stops with better suspension bridge experience than the Capilano bridge. Skip that one and get a trip to Whistler, a gondola ride, and Shannon falls for just about the same price. And a lot less tourists. Pick the one with Ian as your guide -- extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and entertaining. Also liked Magie the driver
