Explore Howe Sound, Canad’s most southern fjord as you venture into Sea to Sky country, up into the coastal mountains to discover the forces of nature which shaped the region’s natural beauty over the past 10,000+ years. With its lush rainforests, mountains rising from sea to sky, spectacular glacier mountain ranges, lakes, waterfalls, and volcanic remains, this elevated fully guided tour showcases the wonders of Mother Nature on a truly grand scale.
Your journey will take you north along the breathtaking Sea to Sky Highway, ranked as one of the top ten most scenic highways in the world. You will stop at Shannon Falls, British Columbi’s 3rd highest waterfall to observe the power and beauty of its cascading waters created by a hanging glacier 1000s of years ago. This awe-inspiring waterfall is one the are’s most impressive natural attractions that was once owned by a local brewery, which used the pure mountain water to brew their beer. Later the brewery donated the land to BC Parks for the enjoyment of everyone.
Next stop, experience the thrill of adventure with a ride to the summit of Habrich Ridge on the Sea to Sky Gondola. Enjoy a 10-minute ride, rising above a coastal rainforest canopy and take in panoramic views of Howe Sound and the neighbouring mountains on clear day. At the summit, enjoy some free time accessing a wide array of outdoor experiences, including two different interpretive loop walking trails with cantilevered viewing platforms, the spectacular Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge and or relax at the Summit Lodge for a snack or some shopping.
Continue your journey past the township of Squamish, climbing up into the coastal mountains, past Mount Garibaldi, a dormant stratovolcano, before making a quick photo stop at the Tantalus Glacier viewpoint and driving through old volcanic lava flows to reach Whistler, a year-round mountain resort and pedestrian-only village. Enjoy free time and a chance to explore the unique shops, restaurants, galleries and cafes, take pictures with the Olympic rings all while enjoying the fresh mountain air and scenic beauty that attracts visitors year-round from around the world.
On your return to Vancouver, the scenery comes from a new perspective. Looking south from the mountains to the ocean, you will be captivated by the breathtaking views along Howe Sound and as you wind your way around the corner above Horseshoe Bay the city’s skyline will become increasingly clear. This tour provides an opportunity to discover with your own eyes the power and beauty of fire and ice. How glacier retreats, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes over 10s of 1000s of years have created the natural beauty of southern British Columbia that we know and love today.

In a last minute desire to see some of the highlights in Vancouver, our hotel concierge connected us to this company. Precisely at 11:00, Randy, our driver, showed up and off we went. There were 4 adults and we were extremely comfortable in his vehicle. I am currently wearing a heavy leg brace and relying on a cane. Randy put me in the front seat and anytime we stopped or started he was extremely careful with me reentering his vehicle. Extremely patient. Very pleasant speaking voice, he toured us through several neighborhoods of Vancouver; brought us to the Gastown area, Stanley Park and Granville Island and Market. A perfect day with a great tour guide!
