Great views of snow capped mountains, babbling brooks, with just enough mountain curves to be interesting, but not the hairpin turns experienced drives handle but neophytes get sick. More

We drove to Whistler one day and to the end of the Highway (and back) the next. Great views with a few places to stop on the way. Lilloolet, at the far end, is worth a visit. Small town with friendly locals. More

If you're after an excellent day that's fantastic value for money, all inclusive with small numbers then you must book a day trip with Vantage Whistler! A locally owned and operated sightseeing tour company offering service from Vancouver to Whistler. Our guide Cliff was excellent and very accommodating. An excellent day tour highly recommended!

Sea to Sky Highway is beautiful for halfway to Whistler. Then the trees come in and the long distance views cease. One could skip Whistler unless one needs to ski. More

We had just driven up the Pacific coast hwy from LA to San Francisco and thought those views could not be surpassed. That was until we drove up to Whistler on the Sea to Sky highway. Words cannot describe the beauty of this drive where the fabulous snow covered mountains meet the pacific ocean and Whistler is fantastic. More
