Itinerary and highlights

Begin your private journey with a scenic crossing of the iconic Lions Gate Bridge, connecting downtown Vancouver to the North Shore. Continuing through West Vancouver before joining the legendary Sea to Sky Highway, one of Canada's most breathtaking coastal routes, making the start of our journey toward Squamish.

Enjoy a scenic private drive along the iconic Sea to Sky Highway, one of Canada's most breathtaking coastal routes connecting Vancouver and Squamish.

Travel beside the sparkling waters of Howe Sound and beneath the towering Coast Mountains as your guide shares insights along the way. With the flexibility and comfort of a private experience, take in dramatic cliffs, forested slopes, and ocean views before arriving at our first stop.

Before continuing toward Shannon Falls, enjoy an optional seasonal stop in Britannia Beach for a relaxed coffee or treat break. This charming seaside community offers a pleasant place to stretch your legs, take photos, and enjoy a short pause along the route. The stop typically lasts 10-15 minutes and may vary depending on timing and guest preference.

Visit Shannon Falls Provincial Park, home to one of British Columbia's tallest waterfalls. Watch as cascading water drops over 1,100 feet down granite cliffs surrounded by lush forest. Enjoy a short walk to the viewing platform for excellent photo opportunities and a close-up view of this powerful natural landmark near Squamish.

The highlight of the tour is the Sea to Sky Gondola, where you'll ascend to the summit for breathtaking views high above Squamish.

From the top, enjoy panoramic vistas overlooking Howe Sound, surrounding mountain peaks, and dense coastal forest.

Walk across the dramatic Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge, explore scenic summit trails, relax at the mountaintop lodge, and take in one of British Columbia's most spectacular viewpoints.

Visit Mamquam Falls, located within the scenic Squamish Canyon area, where powerful water rushes through a narrow rock gorge surrounded by forest. This lesser-known natural stop offers a different perspective of the region's rugged landscape and a chance to experience a quieter, local waterfall setting before returning toward Vancouver.

Keep your eyes open for wildlife sighting.
