Ride the Sea to Sky Gondola, stop at Shannon Falls, and enjoy Whistler Village from Vancouver with hotel pickup and live guide commentary.

“Our tour guide, Alex was very knowledgeable, full of information and trivia. He was also very accommodating and helpful. Despite my being 20 minutes late, he not only waited for me but came back to my hotel, then went back to the pick up site when he found out I’d already left. I was late because my pick up was supposed to be at 8:50 am and they picked us up at 8:20 am.”

“What an incredible day trip from Vancouver to Whistler! Everything was perfectly organised from start to finish. We were given clear instructions for the pickup point, and our driver arrived promptly with a warm and friendly welcome. Our tour guide, Casey, was absolutely fantastic — knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the area. He made the entire experience so enjoyable with interesting facts, local insights, and a great sense of humour. The Sea to Sky Gondola offered breathtaking views, and Shannon Falls was a stunning stop on the way back. Whistler itself was charming, and we had just the right amount of free time to explore. Highly recommend this tour…”

“My flight out of ATL was delayed by an hour. When I arrived at my booked transportation through viator, I was told I had missed my appointment (booked for 1pm and arrived at 1:30). I was told I could not be refunded and the flight delay was not their fault. I replied the flight delay was not my fault either. I booked another transportation company after having to wait an additional hour, which was no problem and I was happy to have a company that was able to get me booked so quickly. The new company was more expensive but was accommodating. The new companies parking spot was next to…”
