TOUR OVERVIEW
This is a “Do-It-Yourself” tour. We help you with the ferry and shuttle arrangements, we help you book a hotel in downtown Vancouver, and then we spend the day with you in Whistler.
It’s the LEAST EXPENSIVE way to go! If you want time to explore Vancouver, just book an extra night at your Vancouver hotel and spend Sunday sightseeing in this world-class city! We can even help you arrange a local sightseeing tour.
This is a Dream Come True for serious skiers & boarders! Now you can get to the slopes in the comfort of a deluxe highway coach without worrying about traffic, weather, or having an Apres Ski drink or two! Not only will we get you there in comfort and style but we can save you money on lift tickets and rentals! Whistler is North America’s #1 ski & snowboard destination. This beautiful little village is nestled in the stunning Coastal Mountains less than 2 hours north of Vancouver.
Note that this tour is available for those who don’t want to ski or snowboard but just want to spend the day hanging out in Whistler or Vancouver trying some of the other great optional activities. The full day is free time as the guide will be with the skiers and snowboarders.
If you want more time in Whistler, check out our Whistler Winter Weekends under our Vancouver based tours.
