TOUR INFORMATION
Our Whistler & Shannon Falls Tour is an adventure that embraces the true west coast lifestyle. Enjoy Shannon Falls, endless mountain ranges, an ancient glacial fjord, and the second-largest granite monolith in the world while travelling along the famous Sea to Sky Highway, one of the most scenic routes in Canada.
Our tour showcases Whistler Village, a quaint village with towering mountains and sprawling forests. The town offers everything from relaxing spas and forest strolls to adrenaline-filled activities and breathtaking sights. Whether you’re visiting in summer or winter, Whistler has a wide array of activities to suit every guest. Enjoy four hours of free time to relax, shop and dine, or venture out of town on an optional add-on activity.
Complimentary Hotel Pick Up – Pick up from your downtown Vancouver or Richmond hotel and meet your tour guide. Ask about our luggage handling service.
Squamish Adventure Centre – A quick stop here is the perfect opportunity for a coffee and snack. Use this chance to book your desired Whistler activity with your tour guide.
Whistler Village – During your free time, visitors can browse through the various stores featured along the cobblestone paths of Whistler Village, walk along the forest trails and get something to eat from one of the world-class restaurants. If you’d like to explore with an add-on activity, talk to your tour guide about booking a trip to the Scandinave Spa, ziplining or another activity.
Shannon Falls – Walk to the base of Shannon Falls, the third-highest waterfall in BC. Feel the power of the falls as the water comes rushing down.
