5.00Whistler ski trip for spring break and didn't want to drive... Skylynx was so easy and convenient - from YVR to drop-off in Whistler Village where we were staying. Took the Skylynx bus back to downtown Vancouver for a few days visit before flying back home. Bus was on time and drivers were courteous. 100% recommend!!

Best Bus Experience

5.00Best bus experience I have ever had. We were running late due to waiting for our skis and baggage and the Skylynx staff was with us the entire time. Emails were quickly answered and the customer service level was amazing. When we rushed out of the airport the bus driver and beautiful coach bus was waiting for us like we were VIPs. Driver helped us with our luggage, checked us in promptly and we were off. The drive was safe, quick and so relaxing. This should be the only way you get to Whistler from the Airport. Thank you Skylynx for such a memorable travel experience.

4.00I travelled round trip Whistler/YVR/Whistler. The bus was comfy, the drivers were friendly and safe. Drawbacks are: - Tiny overhead for carry-on (a pro camera bag won't fit - it will have to go in the hold or sit on your lap for 3 hours - I did both) - If you arrive/depart the YVR domestic terminal you have to walk for a LONG way, upstairs then downstairs, to get to the pick-up point at the international terminal. There is no domestic pick-up/drop-off.
Save Gas, Take Skylynx!

5.00Flew in from Miami and needed to get to Whistler so took YVR Skylynx. Just a genuinely great experience through and through. Warmly greeted at the airport kiosk right when you step out of the airport arrivals area and checking in was smooth. Bus was punctual and just steps away from the airport exit in bus bay 9. Friendly driver that immediately helped my friends and I with luggage and directed us to our seats. Got to Whistler in comfort and in just 2.5 hours or so. With fuel prices at all time highs with the Iran war, my friends and I thought taking Skylynx bus was much more prudent than renting and driving ourselves up. Honestly, it was so much easier too. Would definitely recommend and travel with Skylynx again on my next trip out to Whistler from Miami!
Excellent and super convenient.

5.00It picked ( and dropped) us up right outside the Vancouver YVR airport and dropped us off in the Whistler Village. It took about 2,5 to 3 hours depending on the time of day. The drivers were very good and I felt safe. The bus was on time, clean, comfortable and had plenty of storage space for luggage and skis below. Space is a little tight inside but there is a small compartment above the seats large enough to accommodote a small backpack. Great price and peace of mind to not have to drive myself. All we had to do was sleep and enjoy the view.
Safe and comfortable bus
