FANTASTIC family trip with 2 babies, skis, cases and everything else! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

5.00Fantastic, comfortable, clean transfer. Excellent driver, accurate timings, comfortable reclining seats, clean WC. We had 2 small children both had to have their own seat but the 7 month old sat on our laps and 19 month sat in his own seat with a harness (we purchased at home) attached the seat. The 19 month was so comfortably reclined he slept the entire 3 hour journey. We had doubts about kids on the bus but it all worked really easily and there was plenty of room for cases, skis and pushchairs. Highly recommend!
Happy travels with Skylyxn

3.00I wish Skylinx drivers would discourage solo passengers from placing bags on the neighbouring seat...I find it awkward to be forced to request that a passengers move his/her bag in order for me to sit. Customers should be reminded that they have only reserved one seat, not 2. I also wish that drivers would make an announcement at the onset of each trip reminding passengers to keep phone conversations as short as possible, in order to avoid disturbing fellow passengers.
Great but be sure you have a QR Code

4.00I checked in at the desk inside the terminal. The girl said I was all set with the barcode on my phone. The driver said I need a QR code. I was able to go back inside and quickly get one. However I was first in line to sit at the front of the bus to avoid motion sickness. I ended up at the back of the bus. I was a bit annoyed as I had gone to the desk ahead of time. Be sure you have a QR code NOT a barcode. The ride itself was otherwise great. Highly recommend
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.
