Great value bus to Whistler

5.00I took the bus from Vancouver Airport to Whistler and had a great experience. The airport kiosk was excellent, staff were friendly, efficient, and clearly explained the options, which made booking quick after a long flight. The bus itself was comfortable, clean, and on time. For the price, this is great value compared to renting a car or booking a private transfer.

5.00I used this bus service from Vancouver to Whistler last weekend and honestly didn’t know what to expect. I’ve always either driven or gotten a ride with friends, but this time I decided to try the bus to avoid winter driving. It turned out to be a really good decision. Booking online was quick and straightforward. On the day of travel, boarding was organized and the staff were helpful in pointing everyone to the right bus. The coach itself was clean, warm, and had comfortable seats with plenty of legroom. There was also enough space for luggage and ski gear, which I appreciated. Once we left, the ride was smooth the whole way. The driver was professional and drove cautiously along the Sea to Sky Highway, which made me feel safe, especially since the roads were wet. I ended up relaxing, listening to music, and even catching a bit of sleep. We arrived in Whistler right on schedule. Overall, it was an easy, no stress way to get to Whistler. I’d definitely take this bus again rather than dealing with car rentals or driving in winter conditions.
Best way to travel to whistler in winter

5.00I was nervous about driving the Sea to Sky Highway in winter conditions, so I decided to take the Skylynx bus instead and I’m so glad I did. Booking was simple, the staff at the terminal were helpful, and the coach was modern and comfortable. Our driver was clearly experienced and drove safely the entire way. We arrived right on time, and I could actually enjoy the scenery instead of stressing about the road. I’ll absolutely be using this service again on my next trip.
Great service

1.00We got up to take the 6:30 am bus back to Vancouver airport. OMG!!! WE couldn't get on. The for got to put our name in party of 4. We had to get a private shuttle. That cost why more. All they did I'd refund us, leaving us stranded in Whistler. Not happy at all. Praying we make our 1:20 pm flight.
