After having most of the day at leisure to explore on your last full day in the city, ease into the evening aboard a luxury catamaran departing Vancouver’s False Creek as you go in search of whales. This 3-4 hour tour is a favourite of photographers, as the sun sets over the Salish Sea and you catch a glimpse of marine life on the way.

Depart Vancouver this morning on your sightseeing transfer to Whistler. Discover one dramatic landscape after another as you drive the scenic Sea to Sky Highway, winding between stunning coastal scenery and mountain views.
