Itinerary
Day 1
Journey to Whistler
Vancouver - Whistler. We depart downtown Vancouver at 8:30am and travel north along the spectacular Sea-to-Sky Highway. Following the shoreline of Howe Sound - North America’s southernmost fjord - the road winds into the Coast Mountains and climbs through old-growth rainforest before reaching Whistler, set 670 metres above sea level.
We visit the Britannia Mine Museum for an underground tour, the immersive BOOM Show and interactive exhibits exploring British Columbia’s mining heritage and the science behind it. We then stop at Shannon Falls, one of the province’s highest waterfalls, for a photo opportunity.
Next, we ride the Sea to Sky Gondola for panoramic views over Howe Sound and the surrounding peaks. If you are feeling brave, you can cross the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge for a different perspective.
On arrival in Whistler Village, you may join a guided walking tour to get your bearings - participation is optional. We then check into our hotel. This evening is free for you to explore at leisure, with the option to join a guided food tour showcasing some of Whistler’s hidden gem eateries.
Day 2
Explore Whistler
Today is yours to enjoy at your own pace. You may choose from a range of optional activities, including ziplining, e-biking, an ATV tour, a scenic seaplane flight or a visit to the Audain Art Museum, home to an impressive collection of British Columbian art.
In the evening, you can opt to experience Vallea Lumina - a multimedia night walk through an enchanted forest inspired by local legends.
Day 3
Whistler to Vancouver
Whistler - Vancouver. We begin the day with a guided visit to the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre - the heart of Whistler’s Indigenous experience. This First Nations museum and cultural space shares the history, art and traditions of the Squamish and Lil'wat Nations.
Later, you may join your guide for a leisurely walk to Lost Lake, or take the Peak 2 Peak Gondola to the summit of Whistler for sweeping alpine views - both optional.
In the late afternoon, we depart Whistler and return to downtown Vancouver at approximately 7:00pm.
