TOUR INFORMATION
This tour includes all of the best parts of our Whistler & Shannon Falls Tour with an amazing, once in a lifetime seaplane flight from Whistler to Vancouver.
Continue along one of Canada’s most scenic drives that follows an ancient glacial fjord, passes the second-largest granite monolith in the world, and winds through an endless range of mountains. Along the way, enjoy a scenic stop at Shannon Falls Provincial Park. Near the base of the falls, you will find a platform that offers the best views of the aptly named Shannon Falls.
Upon arriving in Whistler, your free time to explore the chalet-style village will begin. Opt to sightsee along the cobblestone walkways, stepping into the boutique stores or having lunch at one of the restaurants. There are countless patios to choose from to embrace the views of the towering mountains and sprawling forests. Visit the stunning Squamish Lil’Wat Cultural Centre and take advantage of a unique opportunity to learn about the culture and traditions of the local First Nations Peoples.
For those looking for something a little different, ask your tour guide about what seasonal activities are available. Whether you are visiting in summer or winter, there is a wide array of activities to suit every guest.
The day will come to a close with you flying over some of the most breathtaking landscapes and landing atop the waters around downtown Vancouver.
Complimentary Hotel Pick Up – Pick up from your downtown Vancouver or Richmond hotel and meet your tour guide.
Squamish Adventure Centre – Get a coffee, use the washroom or talk with your tour guide about additional activities available during your free time in the village.
Whistler Village – Cobblestone walkways will lead you through the chalet-style Whistler Village. Choose a patio, sit back and relax as you take in the mountain air or enjoy an add-on activity such as a trip to the Scandinave Spa, ziplining or another seasonal activity.
Please note that the museum is closed on Mondays for the winter season.
Shannon Falls – Rushing water, pools and streams all make for picture-perfect scenery at this stop. Learn a bit of history about the Shannon Falls Provincial Park while visiting.
Sea to Sky Highway – Snow-capped coastal mountains, granite monoliths and a glacial fjord make this road from Vancouver to Whistler one of Canada’s most scenic drives.
Hotel, Airport or Train Station Drop-off – Downtown Vancouver or Richmond hotels, Vancouver International Airport (YVR), or VIA Rail.
