What To Expect
Sea to Sky Highway
Explore Howe Sound, Canada’s most southern fjord as you venture into Sea to Sky country, up into the coastal mountains to discover the forces of nature which shaped the region’s natural beauty over the past 10,000+ years. With its lush rainforests, mountains rising from sea to sky, spectacular glacier mountain ranges, lakes, waterfalls, and volcanic remains, this elevated fully guided tour showcases the wonders of Mother Nature on a truly grand scale.
Sea To Sky Gondola
Experience the thrill of adventure with a ride to the summit of Habrich Ridge on the Sea to Sky Gondola. Enjoy a 10-minute ride, rising above a coastal rainforest canopy and take in panoramic views of Howe Sound and the neighbouring mountains on clear day. At the summit, enjoy some free time accessing a wide array of outdoor experiences, including two different interpretive loop walking trails with cantilevered viewing platforms, the spectacular Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge and or relax at the Summit Lodge for a snack or some shopping.

Great Guide and Scenic Views Despite the Smoke

4.00Our tour guide was excellent. Being a local, he knew the area well and shared lots of interesting insights throughout the day. Unfortunately, there was smoke in the region due to forest fires, which slightly reduced the views from the top. I’m not a fan of heights, so I was very nervous about the gondola ride at Whistler. To my surprise, it was very smooth but longer than expected, and I managed it. The bridge walk was a bit beyond my comfort zone, so I skipped that part. Still, we were able to complete all the planned activities and had a good day overall. Whistler itself is a lovely village with beautiful scenery. Even with the haze, the landscape was impressive, and the guide really helped make the experience memorable.
Best tour and a must do!

5.00Excellent trip- so much to see! JOEL was the BEST entertaining guide! He had so much to tell us about the area, but he did it in an engaging funny way where you just wanted to know more! Pickup at the hotel was as expected. Great communication prior to the trip! Josen was an excellent chauffeur- safe and accommodating! Joel and Josen worked great as a team. The bus was nice and comfortable. Waters were even provided along with a donut snack on the way home thanks to Joel! Highly recommend and if you can get on a tour with Joel and Josen you will not be disappointed. First class experience.
Wonderful from Sea to Sky!

5.00From start to finish, Natalia and Sukhan make sure we had a wonderful experience. We were kept well-informed of when to expect stops as well as of local history and landmarks as we traveled to Squamish and Whistler. This trip is a must-do, with beautiful views along scenic Sea to Sky Highway and from the Sea to Sky Gondola. Whistler was wonderful with many shops and restaurants, delicious blueberry ice cream, and the Olympic Village. Definitely a day well-spent!
A Great Day!

5.00What a great experience! Our guide, Emily, was amazing! She knew so much about the area, including interesting details about the indigenous nations, poetry, and music of the area. She went above and beyond in taking care of everyone on the tour, and she took a zillion pictures of the couples and solo travelers for them so they could have beautiful souvenirs. Our driver, Paulo, was friendly, funny, and clearly knew a lot about the area where we visited. I recommend this tour to all who want a fun, interesting, beautiful experience on the Sea to Sky Highway!
A Great Day

5.00We did joined the tour on the 10/06, and it was amazing! I was super impressed by everything we got to see in the day. I personally struggle with motion sickness so i was worried about the bus ride but our driver sukhan was an incredible driver super smooth and safe the whole time!! Especially with how many curves those roads had! Our guide Natalia gave awesome insight along the tour and made sure we didnt miss any of the sites. She was clear and really fun! On a side note. It was very lovely to have her do a land acknowledgement at the start of the tour, grateful to pay respects to our indigenous communities. Great tour, would recommend to any of my friends that tell me they are going to Vancouver. 10/10
