About this experience

Whistler isn’t just a bucket-list spot—it’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again. On this tour, we’ll go beyond the usual tourist stuff and show you some hidden gems locals love, including some epic hikes and chill viewpoints.

The journey there is half the fun—we’ll make a few scenic stops along the iconic Sea-to-Sky Highway (bring your camera, it’s unreal). Once we roll into Whistler, your guide will give you a quick tour of the village so you know where to find the best eats, shops, and hangout spots.

After that, you’ve got options: join your guide for a walk to Lost Lake, take the adrenaline route with bungee jumping or ziplining, or hop on the Peak 2 Peak Gondola for jaw-dropping views, hiking trails, and a suspension bridge that’ll light up your Insta.

There’s something for every vibe—whether you're here to chill, explore, or push your limits. We’ve got your back in making your Whistler day unforgettable.
