This is a classic West Coast road trip, doable as a day trip from Vancouver, without the stress of driving it yourself. Leaving Vancouver behind, you’ll travel north along the Sea to Sky Highway, a stretch of road that manages to be genuinely distracting in the best possible way. One minute you’re skirting the edge of Howe Sound fjord with ocean views, the next you’re climbing into forested mountains. It’s a constant swap of scenery and one of the most scenic drives in Canada.

The first stop is Shannon Falls, dropping 335 metres down a sheer rock face and proving very quickly that British Columbia doesn’t do things by halves. From there, you continue to the Sea to Sky Gondola. A ten-minute ride lifts you up to the top of Habrich Ridge, where the perspective shifts dramatically. 

Back on the road, the journey continues towards Whistler, with views of the Tantalus Glacier appearing as the landscape opens up. Whistler itself is a purpose-built mountain resort with a pedestrian-only village, making it easy to explore on foot. You’ll have free time to browse the shops, grab a coffee, head out on an easy trail or simply sit back and enjoy the fresh alpine air.

The return journey is part of the appeal. As the coach winds south, the mountains slowly give way to the ocean, the forest thins, and the skyline of Vancouver comes back into view. It’s a full-circle day that shows off just how close serious wilderness sits to the city.

Just outside Whistler, black bears emerge from hibernation from late April onwards, drawn out by fresh spring growth in the alpine meadows and forest edges. This early morning, guided off-road experience takes you into known bear habitats by luxury Land Rover, led by local nature guides and wildlife photographers who know exactly where to look and when to slow down. Morning departures take advantage of the quieter hours around sunrise, when bears are often active, and the light is clean and fresh.

The route climbs into Whistler’s high backcountry, opening up wide views across the Coast Mountain Range. Expect a mix of landscapes along the way, from alpine lakes and waterfalls to old-growth forest and wetlands.
