Leave the city of Vancouver behind and enjoy a full-day small-group tour to the famous resort town of Whistler! You'll journey past huge mountains, see the third-tallest waterfall in British Columbia, and have ample free time to sample the exciting year-round activities offered in Whistler Village. Scheduled tour stops include Squamish, Whistler Village, Shannon Falls and the new Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Museum. With a maximum group size of 24 passengers led by a friendly and knowledgeable guide, you are ensured of a personal and intimate experience on this memorable day trip from Vancouver.
Following pickup from Vancouver (select hotels only), you'll travel by mini-coach to Whistler through the scenic Sea-to-Sky corridor. Along the way, you'll enjoy spectacular views from the peaks of the Tantalus mountains to the depths of the canyon of the Cheakmus River.
Next, drive up to 2,000 feet (609 meters) above sea level to reach stunning Whistler Valley. Here there are a number of activities to add to your itinerary available at an additional cost, including the record-breaking Peak 2 Peak gondola, zip-line adventure, snowmobile tour, ATV 4-wheeler tour, bear viewing and more.
Those feeling less adventurous can experience the charm of Whistler Village, the hosted venue of the 2010 Winter Olympics. You may browse quaint shops, walk along forest trails or simply enjoy the mountain scenery. Or why not take advantage of your free admission ticket to the new Aboriginal Cultural Center and Museum?
On your journey home you will have the opportunity to stop at Shannon Falls, the third-highest waterfall in Canada. Take a walk to the base for some great photos of this natural wonder or step back and admire the power and beauty of the cascading waters before continuing your scenic journey back to Vancouver.

This was a great trip. Picked up on time at Canada Pace and following the additional pick ups we set off on the long drive to Whistler. Our driver and guide for the day, Danny, was very good providing us with lots of good information on the way. Danny was a good guide, did not over do the commentary, he provided the interesting facts, not boring us with non stop chat and drivel._br/_ Stop off on the way to Whistler was the lovely Shannon Falls. A beautiful place to break the journey._br/_ Whistler was lovely. The Peak to Peak Gondola is a must do. Yes, it is a bit pricey, however, it is fantastic. Stunning views, a wonderful experience. We had 4 hours in Whistler which we found a little tight, as we stopped for lunch after the peaks._br/_ The drive to and from Whistler is stunning, particularly, Howe Sound. The stop off at Porteau Cove could probably have been a little longer as the views were stunning._br/_ The weather was great, our guide was very good, the views were amazing._br/_ A fantastic day which was a highlight of our Vancouver trip.

We took the trip on 28th April_br/_ A great trip and Meagan was awesome. She was chatty, pleasant and had tons of tidbit knowledge - full marks to her. There were only 2 things that could have been improved:_br/_ 1 There were 25 people on the trip so I don't think that it should be classified as a 'small group' trip - that is, of course, my personal view_br/_ 2 The peak to peak was shut for maintenance and we were told that this is normal in this period - it would have been better if this could have been stated upfront while booking since this does have a bearing on the decision to book or not book. There were no other significant sedentary activities that could be done in Whistler in lieu of the gondola cable car ride.

I went on this tour a few weeks ago and despite the rainy and snowy weather, I had a great time! The driver and guide, Joe, was so friendly, warm, and acoommodating! I defintely recommend taking advantage of the including admission to the Squamish-Lil'Wat Cultural Centre and learning about the native peoples of the area. We made several stops along the way and none of them disappointed. The rainy and cloudy weather provided a haunting backdrop to the greenery on our level. Whistler is small enough to explore in a couple hours and has some good places to eat and drink! I wanted to do the Peak-to-Peak but unfortunately the weather was not on our side. However, I kept plenty busy in the village, the museum, and walking a trail next to the road. Highly recommend if you want to see the natural side of British Columbia!
Review by: Katie N, April 2018
This trip was amazing! Although we didn't have the best weather our driver Joe made sure we still had a great time._br/_ Stopping off at certain view points on the trip up to Whistler to see sights, and providing umbrellas to help with the constant rain.

This tour was great. Could have spent longer there but it's a good taster for non skiers and skiers alike. _br/_ Would love to go back again.

Great trip!
Review by: Coledavis01, March 2018
Our guide Aubyn sorry if butchered your name! was fantastic. The trip up was relaxed and made a few stops to check out the sights and get a bit of background on it all. In Whistler we did a snowmobile experience so didn't have a lot of time to explore the village itself. There were 8 of us on the bus including the guide so we were able to chat with our fellow group and even ran into one couple back in Vancouver a couple of times the next day. _br/_ Highly recommend the experience!
Review by: Cindralela D, February 2018
It was awesome. The drive to Whistler was very scenic and comfortable. There were also enough stops on the way to make the long trip very enjoyable. Our guide was both very knowledgeable and helpful. The gondola ride was definitely well worth it.
Review by: dragonbetty, January 2018
While we didn't get to see Shannon Falls due to the weather and roads, our tour guide safely got us to Whistler due to his expertise driving in extreme conditions which was great.
Review by: Michael S, January 2018
It was a great tour great idea if you have enough to get outside of the City and see a bit more. Whistler was great but a day is probably enough.
Review by: Gina H, December 2017
A really enjoyable trip. The highlight was the First Nations interpretive centre at Squamish. The movie about the culture and way of life of the 2 local groups was very engaging and informative. Our tour guide was lovely - knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend!

A great day trip to Whistler! The gondolas were not operating when we went. However our driver arranged for us to do a Jeep trip to the top of Blackcomb. We are glad we did! What a view of the valley and village below. Well worth the trip. Our driver and guide was very helpful all day

Review by: Michael L, October 2017
The rating for the tour guide and bus would be a five. This three star rating has nothing to do with the tour guide or the tour company. It is based on Whistler itself. The tour guide was very good, professional and accommodating but upon arrival at Whistler we were disappointed. We expected a small ski village but there were hundreds of dirt bikers and their bikes going up the mountain on the gondolas. They did have special gondolas just for the bikes, but that also limited the number that could be used to transport humans! Also the village itself was confusing, very crowded and did not have directions marked very well. So our tour guide said I will pick you up where you were dropped off, but it was difficult to find your way out of the village to the designated area. One family got totally lost and we had to ride around looking for them. Thank goodness the people at Whistler were very helpful and friendly because they helped us find the correct area.

Our tour guide Jeremy was so knowledgeable about the area and every single stop. If you only have a couple of days in the Vancouver area, this is a must do. He even helped us select an activity once we got to Whistler - we choose the Razr and are still talking about it today! It was a fun excursion and well worth the time and money! Thank you Jeremy and Land Sea Tours.

One of those 50 things to do before you die experiences. Scenery was breathtaking.
Review by: Kerry A, October 2017
What a great way to travel up to Whistler with interesting narration along the way. We hadn't expected the large crowds due to all the mountain bikers and the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend holiday sales. But, we still had enough time to do the things we wanted to do after we arrived in the village. If you have a choice between the Whistler Peak-to-Peak gondola and the Squamish gondola, this one is bigger and better.
Review by: Rick N, October 2017
Excellent guide and service. really fun day out
Review by: Christopher E, October 2017
Excellent trip to Whistler. Took the peak to peak gondola experience which was fantastic. saw 3 bears from the gondola, which was a real bonus. Our Meghan took us to several stops on the way up and back, including Shannon Falls. Very knowledgeable helpful guide. Great day out.
Review by: dslorenzgp, October 2017
This was a great day - well worth the money. We had an excellent guide Steve, and he even squeezed in some additional stops as a bonus for us. I really appreciated the Brandywine Falls stop - not normally included, but they were spectacular. We really enjoyed the day - I would recommend this trip!
Review by: matonman25, October 2017
Loved this tour. Our guide Tim was fantastic, and could not have done any more for us. The scenery was stunning, and we had ample time to look around, soak up the village, and even took a helicopter flight up to a glacier. Highly recommended!!
Review by: alohakathi, October 2017
The scenery was beautiful and the ride on the gondola was breathtaking. The tour company did an excellent job and the guide was great.
Review by: Dianne L, October 2017
We were picked up on time and collected our small group. We made our way to whistler with a few great photo stops and refreshments. Whistler was over cast with odd niggly shower and around 10degrees c. Great day stopped at the falls on way back. Unfortunately the peak to peak gondola had closed for the season and we did not know. Great driver/guide had a great day.
Review by: Ann, October 2017
One of the best trips ever if you have an extra day in Vancouver. The Gondola rides are very thrilling! Well organised trip but be prepared for a long day!Would recommend this!

Terrific day, very knowledgeable driver and guide. The scenery on the way is breathtaking and we had regular stops to enjoy and stretch the legs. The village of Whistler is beautiful and there is so many picture opportunities, plenty of good restaurants and bars and of course the gondola between the two mountains. Thoroughly recommend this trip.

Great day with Tim the bus driver. Made the day very interesting with stories and information of the area. Great driver very safe on road. Good time at Whistler
Review by: Pam H, September 2017
Amazing views around every bend. Our guide/bus driver was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Loved every minute of this tour. Whistler was so beautiful.
Review by: Edwina B, September 2017
Not the travel agency's fault but the day of our tour, the visibility was zero from the smoke from the Washington fires. So there was no reason to go up the gondolas. The gondola at the other mountain was shut down. It was raining, so we chose to do a spa day. The tour guide only had one option and you needed a bathing suit to enjoy. We were able to find an Asian spa at the Hilton hotel on our own. It was lovely. The village was nice to walk around, a few meal options. The stops going up and back were worth it. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. So even though it did not offer all it should have, we had a nice day and say we've seen Whistler.

Review by: John W, September 2017
Our guide, Bas, was extraordinary! We had so much fun. Loved the ride, the sights and Whistler!_br/_ Peak 2 Peak was a must do. No need to wait (30 minutes) for the small glass bottom view of the gondola. Great views everywhere. Also, COWS ice cream, an old favorite from PEI.

This is a good full day guided tour by Landsea Adventures. Our tour guide Richard was very friendly, helpful and interactive during the tour. The coach was impeccable and spotless. The cleaning crew do a phenomenal job. Time is well kept and pick up and drop off's are right on time. This is a good value for money tour.

Review by: Eduardo O, March 2017
Well organized. We were picked up at our hotel on time. The guide/driver Robb was very knowledgable and friendly. He called everyone on the tour by their name adding a personal touch. We are not skiers so the four hour stay in Whistler is enough. Robb even remembered our names when we bumped into him the next day while we are exploring the city on our own. This trip is recommended for none skiers.

Excellent trip. Very knowledgable tour guide.
Review by: Sarah P, February 2017
Fantastic trip with the lovely driver Lauren! Prompt pickup, informative commentary, and a modern comfy coach meant we could just enjoy the spectacular views. We stopped at great photo spots on the way up and back too. The 4 hours spent in Whistler was just ideal. Our kids aged 9 and 11 had a blast.
