★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,640 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $173Our pick

A car-free day trip from Vancouver to Whistler, Sea to Sky Gondola, and Shannon Falls, with hotel pickup and live guide commentary.

“Alex, our tour guide was fantastic. He was very knowlegible about the sites we visited and made a stop that had not been available to visit because of light and traffic timing. For me Whistler was a waste as it is like many other Ski Resorts, but high end. The Sea to Sky Gondola was fantastic with spectacular views of Howe Bay and beautiful mountain ranges and peaks. The suspension bridge was a nice surprise at the top. Shannon Falls was unique with large amounts of water falling at different times of the year. It's a gentle walk up to it. I would go again but not to Whistler and…”

“Four hours in Whistler was way too long. No gondolas running except for mountain biking. It’s really just a pretty ski resort town so if you can’t get up the mountains it’s a long afternoon! Tour guide was ok bit not as good as guides on other tours. Lacking in passion/enthusiasm and very little more than we read in guide books.”

Having grown up in Squamish he knew the area well and had great stories. Note the weather before you go, as it would not work well in fog and rain.”

“Dean was a great driver and, somehow, managed to get us back to Vancouver on time, even with traffic. Throughout the drive Dean kept to updating us on the next stop and our ETA, and even updating us on a couple of attractions like Shannon Falls. A very good experience! Unfortunately when getting off in Vancouver downtown, I forgot to tip him for the great service he provided, apologies Dean.”

“Dale is an excellent tour guide & driver. There were both Chinese and English speaking tourists in our bus and Dale translated in both languages effectively. For the price of the excursion, it’s well worth it. But You have to pay separately the Sea to Sky Gondola ticket which is good because you have the option to experience it or not. You can just get the ticket at the booth or purchase through Dale as a group. We had a fun time at Shannon Falls; Sea to Sky Gondola ride to the top (amazing view atop) & back; Whistler plus there are other informative narrations from the city going to…”
