What To Expect
Vancouver (Pass By)
Trade city buzz for mountain magic on this small-group escape from Downtown Vancouver. As we cruise the jaw-dropping Sea to Sky Highway (locals call it “Mother Nature’s red carpet”), your guide dishes out insider stories and spontaneous stops you won’t find on Google. First up: Shannon Falls, where BC’s third-tallest waterfall puts on a misty show. Then, soar above fjords and forests on the Sea to Sky Gondola—bonus points if you brave the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge (it’s like walking on air, minus the turbulence). Finally, we roll into Whistler Village, where you’ll wander boutique-lined plazas, sip something cozy, and maybe spot a local legend or two. With a deliberately small group and a guide who knows all the secret nooks, this isn’t just a tour—it’s your backstage pass to British Columbia’s alpine soul. Snag your seat now—Whistler’s calling and spots won’t last!
Shannon Falls
Shannon Falls: 10AM
Kick off your mountain escape with a jaw-dropper—Shannon Falls, BC’s third-tallest waterfall and a total show-off in the best way. Just a quick hop from the Sea to Sky Highway (aka the scenic route of your dreams), this 1,100-foot cascade tumbles down granite cliffs like it’s auditioning for a shampoo commercial. A short, easy stroll gets you up close to the action, where you can feel the cool mist on your face and hear the thunderous applause of nature doing its thing. It’s the perfect “wow” moment to set the tone for your Whistler adventure—no hiking boots or oxygen tank required. Locals love it, Instagram lives for it, and your camera roll will thank you.

This isn’t just a ride—it’s a front-row seat to British Columbia’s coastal drama, with Howe Sound and snow-dusted peaks stealing the show. At the top, test your nerves (and your selfie game) on the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge, stroll scenic trails that even your sneakers will love, and kick back at the mountaintop lodge with views that scream “desktop wallpaper.” It’s nature’s red carpet—no hiking boots, no altitude training, just pure alpine magic with a side of comfort.

Whistler Village Centre
Whistler Village: 2PM
Welcome to Whistler Village—where après-ski meets upscale charm and cobblestone strolls come with mountain views. This pedestrian-only alpine haven is bursting with boutique swagger (think Lululemon, Roots, and artisan gems), foodie favorites like Araxi and Bearfoot Bistro, and the legendary Purebread bakery—whose pastries deserve their own passport stamp. But here’s your insider scoop: don’t leave without popping into Amos & Andes—The Sweater Shop. This cozy boutique is a local legend, serving up handpicked, high-quality sweaters that scream mountain chic and make your closet feel like it just went on vacation. Whether you're sipping craft cocktails on a sunny patio or hunting for the perfect “I skied and I shopped” souvenir, Whistler delivers. It’s the kind of place where adventure ends with a toast, and every corner feels like a Hallmark movie—minus the snow-globe filter, plus way better snacks.

Q:
Will I get seasick on Whistler Sea 2 Sky Gondola, Shannon Falls Small Group Max 12 Tour?
A:
If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
