Take the bus. You'll thank yourself! Love Skylynx. After you take the bus to Whistler or to YVR you won't ever want to drive again. Skylynx is fast (you get all the bus lanes), comfortable, has wifi, bathroom, etc. The driver, Michael, lives in Whistler and is as knowledgeable about the area as he is helpful.

Comfortable ride, great views enroute to Whistler! Bus was punctual, driver was friendly. Luggage was handled with care. Ride was comfortable. If you're travelling from downtown Vancouver to Whistler, I recommend not taking the "Express Bus". The regular bus that stops in Squamish is just off the highway and is a 5-10 minute layover only, not worth the extra fare for "Express" services. Would take again.

Needed to get to Whistler fast and didn't want to sit through the stops in DT and Squamish. Kiosk staff recommended the express bus to Whistler and it was perfect. Very smooth and quick trip from airport to Whistler. Already booked my return ticket from Whistler back to Airport later on the week with Skylynx.

Timely and courteous drivers. It made traveling to Whistler enjoyable.

Hopped on the bus right out of the airport and dropped me off right in front of the Fairmont Chateau Hotel in Whistler. Good price, friendly drivers and staff and quick ride. Will look to travel with Skylynx again on my return trip back from Whistler to Van Airport.

I was very pleased with the trip from Vancouver to Squamish. The driver, Amanda, was very friendly when giving her professional speech, indicating the rules, important information about the itinerary and welcoming all passengers.

Great trip to Vancouver and then back to Whistler. Bus was always on time and had charging ports for phones etc. Big shout out to our driver Harry making our trip that little bit more fun with some good old fashioned banter!

Dean was our driver and he was very informative throughout the journey but not too much talking that it became annoying. He was very pleasant and made the journey very enjoyable

Absolutely the best whistler bus from Vancouver to Whistler and back! Friendly drivers, nice looking buses and they actually let you use the bathroom unlike other companies *cough* cough*

2 things I love most in life - a good polish hot dog and a well-ran transportation service. Skylynx is the second one. Buses were new and had charge outlets and free wifi. The wifi was surprisingly fast. Exceptional service from the kiosk staff and the driver. The buses were clean and picked us right at the bus bay just steps from the airports exit doors which made it really convenient. Tickets are really well priced for how far the distance is between the mountain resort and airport!

Best way to travel Vancouver <=> Whistler! Clean comfortable bus with power sockets, working WiFi and a toilet & we arrived at the airport on time, despite the Vancouver rush hour traffic as we got to use the bus lanes through the city. Definitely better than self drive or a private car. Michael, the driver could not have been more friendly.

Highly recommended. Always buy flex tickets. The staff is extremely kind and supportive. You can ask then questions. Ensure the cleanliness onboard, they focus on that a lot. Washrooms available onboard. No stops on the way to get your drinks and snacks beforehand.

Punctual Whistler bus that picks-up in downtown and brings you to Whistler. Service was fantastic and the free wifi was faster than expected which was nice. I didn't end up using the wifi that much as the views were spectacular.

The views alone are enough for you to get on the bus and take the ride up to the mountain. Bus was clean and had free wifi which was spectacular. Service was prompt and the ticket prices was very reasonable. Absolutely no complaints and all compliments.

Cheapest transport option I found for YVR <> Whistler. Reasonable rates when I booked 2 months in advance. Large clean shuttle bus which was comfier than the smaller shuttles I've booked with other companies.

Great service at a good price. Our bus driver was very friendly and entertaining. Highly recommend this service

What people say about us

Excellent service from Scott and Epic Rides. Fast, efficient, friendly and unreal value for money. Most other options were gonna be at least $100. Perfect pick up location downtown and straight to Whistler village. Highly recommended!

The ride with Scott and epic rides was great! The value was by far the best option we were able to find for getting to Whistler. The ride was punctual and we made great time getting to our destination. It was wonderful to be dropped off at the front door four hotel! Would use this again if returning to Whistler.

Couldn't make my return trip on time, email Scott and the situation was easily resolved, no Greyhound politics here! Thanks Epic Rides and Scott :)

If you’re begging for a quick mountain escape, there are tons of Whistler tours from Vancouver available.

That said, with these two tourist behemoths, the menu is sadly more quantity over quality.

That’s why I’ve set out to list the best Vancouver to Whistler tours so you can enjoy them hassle-free.

Let’s take a look!

The Top Vancouver to Whistler Tours

If you’re reading this, it’s clear you’re looking for a quick way to tour Whistler from Vancouver .

With this in mind, I’m going to assume you’re also probably looking for:

  • A great price-quality ratio to keep things affordable
  • Convenient departure points near downtown Vancouver hotels
  • The ability to see stunning alpine scenery and famous Whistler landmarks
  • Unique local wildlife  and  popular attractions tossed in for good measure
  • Quick-book smartphone tickets with free cancellation for the utmost flexibility

Using these criteria, I’ve narrowed down the list to what I consider to be the top five Vancouver to Whistler tours currently on offer.

This Vancouver to Whistler tour package is similar to the tour above – with one key difference.

After your stop in Shannon Falls , the cultural experience in Squamish will be replaced by a journey up the iconic Sea to Sky Gondola . 

At this 885-metre-high Swiss-style gondola , you’ll have 90 minutes to take in breathtaking views of the Coast Mountains , the local rainforest, and Howe Sound.

Considered a world-class attraction in its own right, the gondola tour is best for those looking to experience the region’s supernatural beauty .

In fact, this is the only tour from Vancouver to Whistler that guarantees a full day of sightseeing .

T he package includes a round-trip seaplane flight from Vancouver to Whistler . These  35-minute scenic flights are popular attractions in their own right.

Whistler Tour from Vancouver via Biking Trails + Village

This Vancouver to Whistler day trip package allows visitors to take full advantage of this backcountry paradise .

It also dispels the notion that Vancouver to Whistler tour packagers are solely for the aged cruise-ship crowd.

  • Shannon Falls Provincial Park

  • Squamish Lil’Wat Cultural Centre  

Once you arrive there, you’ll have around 4 hours to explore Whistler at your own pace.

Remember, this is a private tour – so the driver is at your service . Since you’re booking the van itself, if you’ve got up to six passengers, it actually comes in at $225.00 per person, so there’s value here.

Travelling in more than six? It’s possible, but you’ll have to pay extra per person as it requires a bigger vehicle.

This is one of my favourite Whistler winter activities .

Each Full Day Whistler Private Tour includes:

  • Luxurious transportation between Vancouver and Whistler
  • Customized hotel/cruise port drop off/pick up
  • Personal driver/guide
  • Live commentary
  • Private tour

The Sea to Sky Highway passes by Howe Sound

Are Vancouver to Whistler Day Tours Worth It?

Not every traveller has $200.00 to head up the Sea to Sky Highway for a 10-hour tour or even more for a private tour from Vancouver to Whistler.

If these prices seem a little high, you may want to consider the Vancouver to Whistler bus then doing things on your own.

This provides a shuttle service from downtown or Vancouver airport to Whistler in as little as 90 minutes.

That said, you won’t be able to visit destinations like Shannon Falls, the Squamish Lil’Wat Cultural Centre, and the Sea to Sky Gondola along the way. 

If these things are important, and you value some structure and some guidance along the way, then guided tours of Whistler from Vancouver are something to seriously consider.

Vancouver to Whistler Tours FAQ

How much do whistler tours from vancouver cost.

The basic Whistler & Shannon Falls, Whistler & Sea to Sky Gondola and Whistler trail and village tours start at around $150-215 CAD. From there, the prices can rise exponentially for Whistler floatplane tours ($473.27) and private tours ($675.00).

What are the best Whistler tours from Vancouver?

The best Vancouver Whistler tours for most travellers are the Whistler & Shannon Falls day tour and the Whistler & Sea to Sky Gondola tours .

The former offers more of a cultural experience with a visit to the Squamish Lil’Wat Cultural Centre, while the latter is catered to those more interested in the area’s natural beauty.

However, both options are reasonably affordable and provide some flexibility once you arrive in Whistler Village.

Having said that, if you’re willing to spend a bit more, the Whistler Seaplane Tour and Whistler Private Tour will obviously offer the highest degree of time, flexibility and freedom.

This will allow you to explore more of the region’s unparalleled natural beauty and outdoor activities or engage in additional Whistler day tours.

What will I see on my Whistler tour from Vancouver?

While each 1-day tour from Vancouver to Whistler differs slightly according to its focus, you’re guaranteed to encounter stunning oceanic and mountain scenery along the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler.

From there you may stop at destinations like the Shannon Falls Provincial Park, Squamish or Sea to Sky Gondola to further hammer home the region’s cultural significance and natural beauty.

In most instances, you’ll then be provided with a few hours of free time to do as you please upon arrival in Whistler. You can engage in outdoor activities, check out the local dining scene or take in a quick tour – it’s entirely up to you.

What do I need to bring with me on my Vancouver to Whistler Tour?

Firstly, for Vancouver day tours to Whistler, I’d recommend bringing weather-suitable clothing.

Remember that there can be significant divergences in temperature between Vancouver and Whistler. During the winter, it is obviously much cooler at altitude – with a higher probability of snowfall.

Surprisingly, in the summer months, Whistler is actually a few degrees warmer.

If you plan on taking the Whistler Trail and Village tour, comfortable shoes & clothing, a sun hat, water and snacks would be recommended. 

Other than that, the first thing I’d recommend for any top-day trip from Vancouver to Whistler is to bring a camera.

The alpine and oceanic scenery you’ll encounter is virtually unparalleled — and smartphones aren’t always up to the task. Most tours will also require you to bring a photo ID (passport or ID card) and your smartphone ticket in order to board.

Ready for a Vancouver to Whistler Tour?

We aim to answer every question about living and travelling in the Vancouver and Whistler areas, and I hope I’ve accomplished that here.

Whether you’re taking a Whistler day tour from Vancouver or not, I hope to hear from you .

YVR Skylynx Whistler Vancouver recent customer reviews

I enjoyed how reliable my service was. The bus driver was also quite funny. Overall a positive experience, though I do wish there was a middle armrest between the adjacent seats.

Great service at a good price. Our bus driver was very friendly and entertaining. Highly recommend this service

It was great value and relatively easy to book. Unfortunately my return leg was actually to the airport and even though I knew sky linx went to the airport I ended up with a return ticket to downtown Vancouver instead and had to pay extra to upgrade the return leg to the airport. I’d guess quite a number of travelers want to do this - leave from the city but return to the airport for their flight home. It would be nice to get the prompts to ensure I get the right ticket s.

Customers have expressed their satisfaction with the excellent service provided by the company. They found it easy to book and mentioned that the buses left on time, providing a smooth ride throughout their journey. Overall, customers had a positive experience with no complaints or issues reported.
