- The HappstersHonolulu, Hawaii26 contributionsSpectacular ViewThis spectacular view from the summit. The ride to the top and back down is amazing. It was a really smooth ride, even with the winds. You can see the Howe Sound below. Riding the gondola was really fun, and once you get to the top, you can walk on the Pilot Bridge or hanging. It was majestic.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 7, 2023
- Duke HBoulder, Colorado149 contributionsGuided Via Ferrata was a great way to get off the main pathWe rode the gondola up with a reservation to do the Via Ferrata. The ferrata was a great way to expand on our visit with a hike partway down the mountain, clipping our safety harnesses into the cables and climbing the iron rungs back up to the visitor deck. Our guide, Lorna, was fantastic, describing various aspects of the landscape and flora as we went. She had all of the gear necessary already laid out along with shoe spikes for the icy sections. That saved us having to bring our own gear. If you have climbed a moderate amount, you will find this easy. If you have never rock climbed, this is fun for the family as long as you can tolerate heights. At most we were 30m - 40m off the ground and always safely clipped in. Highly recommend.Visited February 2024Traveled with familyWritten February 27, 2024
- Meg1235Toronto, Canada41 contributionsOur Favourite DayOne of the things we did in our entire 2 week trip. Amazing views and beautiful walking trails all around the top. The bridge is so fun to walk across. My 3 and 5 year old also loved that there is a playground at the top. It’s magical up there!Visited May 2024Traveled with familyWritten May 22, 2024

I am from Aoteroa New Zealand and have framed the gondola ride as "Queenstown on steroids." Our kiwi mate who lives in BC took us to the Sea to Sky Gondole experience becase he thought it was vorth the visit. We were not disappointed. Eveything we experienced was first class.Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 23, 2024

The only reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five is because of the expense. Unusual for me, but I was with my mom instead of my husband and kids, so I had to pay only for myself. There's no way we could have afforded to pay for all four of us. However, the gondola experience was very well-run and the views were absolutely stunning. I don't think I've ever seen any landscape so beautiful! The day was a little overcast, but it didn't really matter. The bridge was a breath-taking experience, and the trails on the other side led to other hidden-gem views. There are plenty of hiking opportunities. Additionally, there is a cafe' and a gift shop at the top. This was a great experience, especially on our first visit to the area.

Great view at the top but a bit pricey if you only have an hour or so. We were in the clouds for the majority of the time we were up at the top. The suspension bridge was very cool. Next time we would like to try tubing up there (5$ add on to the price) but we didn't have boots on and would have been tough getting to the tubing area.

It's worth it to take the gondola: not only is the mountain big and steep but the gondola passes right over fabulous rocks and the view is amazing. Trails at the top are great, especially the Panorama Trail. Swinging Bridge is fun too.

This is one of the most scenic gondola rides I've ever taken. The whole ride lasts for about ten minutes. The beauty of what you can see as the gondola makes its way up the mountain prepares you to all the wonderful things you'll see once you've reached the Summit Lodge. The view from the mountain top is amazing, particularly of the Howe Sound Sea below and the surrounding mountains! There are trails to follow, a panoramic viewing deck, a suspension bridge, a restaurant with a souvenir shop, etc. On your way down, you'll be given the option of either taking the gondola all by yourself (private ride) or taking it with other passengers. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience to see the upper mountains of the Squamish region. It was moderately busy but once you go on to the trails it was most isolated. Several trails and hiking options to choose from. VERY family friendly, as you can choose small hikes that take minutes to much longer ones that could take >1 hour. At the top there is a well designed map showing all of the hiking options and directions. The suspension bridge is a must try too.

We like everything about the experience, starting with their website, vary easy to start the plans.
We went on the sun set sea to sky gondola and were awarded with amazing views. We enjoyed the attractions, suspension bridge, view deck , and Panorama and Spirit trails ,which they offered spectacular views.
We had delicious dinner at Sea to sky pilot restaurant.
Very safe and well organized attraction.

Saw this before we left and had this as a must stop at as we travelled. The views were amazing and the whole operation is pretty slick. It was extremely busy on the day we went and we had trouble even parking at the base area, although the guys running things there were doing a good job trying to get things moving. If you have time, there are plenty of trails to explore and a suspension bridge takes you over to some pretty spectacular viewing positions.

Well you need a strong disposition for this one! Do not go if heights aren’t your thing. Having said that, once up there the views are absolutely spectacular and it would be a pity to miss them. You just have to talk yourself into being suspended in a small cable car for ten minutes to get there!
