Winter Tour: Whistler and Shannon Falls Full-Day Tour from Vancouver
Vancouver, Canada
Escape the city in search of winter! Wind along fjords and inlets and ascend into the beautiful snowy coastal mountains. Stroll through the pedestrian Village of Whistler amongst the skiers and find out why Whistler is a world-class winter destination.
Starting from the emerald city of Vancouver, traverse along the scenic coastline of Howe Sound fjord to the snow-capped peaks of the Coast Mountains. This escape from the city is an ideal way to experience the natural wonders that make Vancouver one of the most livable cities in the world. Gaze out over ever-changing landscapes surrounding the Sea-to-Sky Highway, with a scenic stop at the 335 metre Shannon Falls. Views of Tantalus Glacier greet passengers en route to Whistler.
Along the way, visit the quaint town of Squamish. Considered an outdoor paradise, for climbers and backcountry adventurers, Squamish if perfectly positioned at the most north easterly point of the Howe sound, offering astonishing views of the mountains and water. There will be a stop at the Squamish Adventure Centre, and then a brief stop nearby in Brackendale for eagle viewing (seasonal) before continuing the journey to Whistler.
The cozy little pedestrian village of Whistler is located at the base of the world-famous Whistler-Blackcomb Mountains. Take time to stroll through eclectic downtown shops and cafes, relax and breathe in the fresh mountain air. If you’re up for an adventure, try the Peak 2 Peak Glacier experience (not included) gliding 436 metres (1,430 feet.) above the ground between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains.
Returning to Vancouver, mountains give way to ocean as the coach winds downwards from towering peaks through rugged coastline, back to metropolitan cityscapes.
Whistlers was awesome. It snowed thru out the day Good for the skiers. Cosy shops. Restaurants were nice and warm when we needed to huddle a bit. Very picturesque. Worth seeing.

We were the only ones booked on this tour so they kindly arranged for us to go with a different tour company. Great day

The service on this tour was excellent from the minute we were picked up. Andy was fabulous, knowledgeable and patient. He went out of his way to assist us. The tour is a lovely way to see the sea to sky highway with a few little stops on the way.

This tour was great! We weren't too sure when we booked but the details provided at booking, pick up times etc were spot on. Jeff was our guide- he really knew Vancouver through to Whistler and greater Canada. He was considerate, knowledgeable and friendly. We had the most perfect day and were all really happy with the experience.
