Conde Nast Traveller rated the Sea to Sky Highway as one of the best coastal drives in the world, and it’s easy to see why. With mountains on one side and ocean on the other, there are stunning vistas around every corner.

Whistler village was purposely built to be pedestrian friendly. Most visitors park their car when they arrive and don’t start it again until it’s time to pack up and head home. With options from as low as $35 CAD round trip the bus can be a great option. You get to sit back and relax while taking in the views. Some even have Wi-Fi!
Why not wing it? The aerial views from Vancouver to Whistler are some of the best in the world, and there are some amazing options for flying into Whistler. Taking a helicopter or plane directly from Vancouver to Whistler can be a great way to maximize your trip. Starting next to the Pacific Ocean, you will travel up Howe Sound and over the dramatic Coast Mountain Range with endless peaks in all directions. The travel to Whistler can be as memorable as the vacation itself.
