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.
Included in your tour admission is a ticket to the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre and Museum. Be sure to try an one-hour guided tour through this First Nations cultural museum.
