Spectacular sights and rugged wilderness is found just out of reach of Downtown Vancouver. Board your mini-coach and tour the famous Sea to Sky Highway along Howe Sound, the southernmost glacial fjord in North America. Feel the spray from British Columbia’s third-highest waterfall, Shannon Falls, while standing on the viewing platform.
Next it is on to the Sea to Sky Gondola. Board the gondola and ascend 850-metres (930-yards) to the top to soak up the panoramic perspectives of Howe Sound cradled by the Coast Mountains. It’s here that you can cross the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge and walk along forest trails to the observation platforms. Your tour then continues North to Whistler Resort where you will join a short guided walking tour of Whistler Village (optional). After learning a bit about Whistler and getting a lay of the land, there is plenty of free time to explore at your own pace. Visit the shops, stop in an art gallery, or do as the locals do and find the perfect patio along the village stroll for a moment to relax at this stunning mountain resort. Whistler Resort is renowned as an outdoor mecca, so feel free to ask about additional activities you can take part in during your free time in the village. When your time in Whistler is coming to an end, get to enjoy the scenic tour back along the Sea to Sky Highway to where your tour began.

I highly recommend this experience. The Discover Canada Tours team was well organized and pleasant. I selected this vendor because they offers "small group tours". Everybody was on time, which is crutial for logistics. Our comfortable shuttle could accomodate up to 24 people, we were 13, which was ideal. Our guide and driver, Rene, was so good and clearly enjoys what he does. He went above and beyond to show us all the wonders of this route, including some off-the-beaten path suprises (no spoilers!).
The cost
Had a wonderful time with our tour guide Ian, he had a lot of knowledge on the history of Vancouver and the places we visited in our tour. He told some funny life stories. I would recommend this tour to friends and family.
Absolute Empfehlung! Byron, unser Guide, war nicht nur super nett, sondern hatte auch viele Infos für uns parat, hat Tipps für die besten Fotospots gegeben und kannte sich Mega gut aus. Außerdem hat er die Route unseren Wünschen entsprechend angepasst. So waren wir in Whistler schon nach drei Stunden fertig und sind dafür noch zu einem Wasserfall gefahren und konnten Bären in freier Wildbahn sehen. Wir waren insgesamt zu sechst, was Mega angenehm war.
the gondola ride and views fron the top. can't think of anything to improve, had a very enjoyable day
Our tour guide, Bernie, was excellent and full of interesting facts. We didn’t feel rushed at stops. There was plenty of time to take pictures and see what we wanted to see.
This was a truly perfect trip. The guide was informative, engaging, professional and 100% worthwhile.
Shylo was a brilliant guide and a very safe driver. My only complaint would have to be about the seats behind the driver. There is very little space for legs and a box on the floor which means you cannot stretch your legs out. Luckily our minibus wasn’t at full capacity so we could move to the back row.
It's got be the guide Rene. you could not ask for anyone better. Very nice person good sense of humour and had all the facts. made it a fantastic trip
