A full-day coach and gondola tour that follows the Sea-to-Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler. See Shannon Falls, ride the Sea to Sky Gondola up 850 m for alpine panoramas, then spend free time in Whistler Village.

The coach peels away from downtown Vancouver and soon the city glass gives way to a raw coastline: Howe Sound narrows to a fjord that seems to dare you to follow it north. The Sea-to-Sky Highway threads between water and rock, a ribbon of road that climbs through temperate rainforest and opens onto the roar of Shannon Falls — a 335‑metre curtain of meltwater that throws spray across the viewpoint and forces the whole bus to exhale.
