Your Vancouver to Whistler day trip begins with your guide picking you up in downtown Vancouver or Richmond. You’ll travel from along the captivating Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler.
In Whistler Village, you’ll have a chance to peruse the array of shops along the cobblestone paths of the village, delight in culinary creations at a variety of renowned dining spots (meals not included in the tour), and venture along the tranquil forest trails.
No tour to Whistler is considered complete without experiencing a scenic ride on the Sea to Sky Gondola up Mount Habrich, 2,800 feet above sea level. At the top, you'll marvel at the expansive vistas of Howe Sound Fjord and the magnificent mountains surrounding the area.
You’ll get to venture to the base of Shannon Falls, the third-highest waterfall in British Columbia where you’ll experience the formidable power of the falls as the waters come crashing down in an awe-inspiring display.
Other legendary sights you get to see from the bus during the tour:
- The Lions Gate Bridge - A spectacular suspension bridge built in 1937 by the Guinness family, noted for their accomplishments in banking, brewing, and politics.
- The Stawamus Chief - the world's 2nd largest granite monolith towering over the waters of Howe Sound.
