★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 140 reviews · 10h 30m · from $181

Travel from Canada Place by air-conditioned mini-coach with an English-speaking guide such as Bernie, Ian, Rene, or Shiloh. Stop at Shannon Falls, ride the Sea to Sky Gondola, cross Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge, and spend about three and a half hours in Whistler. Bring layers, water, and comfortable shoes.

“I highly recommend this experience. The Discover Canada Tours team was well organized and pleasant. I selected this vendor because they offers "small group tours". Everybody was on time, which is crutial for logistics. Our comfortable shuttle could accomodate up to 24 people, we were 13, which was ideal. Our guide and driver, Rene, was so good and clearly enjoys what he does. He went above and beyond to show us all the wonders of this route, including some off-the-beaten path suprises (no spoilers!).”
