About This Tour

Sea to Sky Sights + Whistler Highlights

Journey along the scenic coastline of Howe Sound fjord to the lush, forested peaks of the Coast Mountains. This escape from the city is an ideal way to experience the natural wonders surrounding Vancouver and Whistler.  Tour the picturesque seaside village of Horseshoe Bay and gaze out over ever-changing landscapes as you travel along the breathtaking the Sea to Sky Highway.

Continue the journey to Whistler with views of Tantalus Glacier en route to Whistler.  Before arriving to the village, our tour will take you to a breathtaking viewpoint of Nita Lake.

Whistler Village 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 your time exploring this eclectic downtown shops and cafes, hiking along nature trails, or relaxing and breathing in the fresh mountain air before returning to Vancouver.

Horseshoe Bay

Horseshoe Bay Park, located in West Vancouver, is full of views, restaurants and coffee shops. From picnicking to beachcombing to ferry watching, there is something for everyone to enjoy. With tree-lined mountains rising from the depths of Howe Sound, the views from Horseshoe Bay Park will captivate onlookers of every age.

Squamish Adventure Centre

At the Squamish Adventure Centre you will have a chance to stretch your legs and crane your neck as you look up toward the massive granite wall of the Stawamus Chief. The "Chief" - as it is known locally - is one of the many reasons the town of Squamish is known as the adventure capital of Canada, providing endless opportunities for rock climbing, BASE jumping, and other ariel sports. And of course it makes the idea backdrop for selfies and portraits. The Squamish Adventure Centre itself is a sight to behold, with its curved roof structure and locally sourced Douglas Fir timber, the building is designed to mimic the iconic Bald Eagle while in flight during migration, an annual event for which the Squamish River is world-renowned. Inside the centre you will find the Visitor Information Centre, the Chamber of Commerce, as well as gift stores, a coffee shop and tour company, providing you information and fuel as you continue your journey along the Sea-to-Sky Highway.
Winter Whistler Village

Whistler Village

You have undoubtedly seen pictures of Whistler, but now is your chance to live the experience firsthand. Tucked into the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Whistler is a world-class resort that will entertain you all year long. If the stunning natural beauty of Blackcomb and Whistler Mountains isn't enough to impress you, you are sure to be stopped in your tracks in charming Whistler Village, the heart of the town where only pedestrians are permitted. The streets in the village are lined with art galleries and shops, and restaurants for every culinary palette. In the winter you will be strolling among the throngs of international travellers coming for the world-class alpine skiing, and in the summer you will be rubbing shoulders with some of the best downhill mountain bikers in the world. With its laidback westcoast vibe and endless activities, Whistler is a town of unforgettable nature.
