Custom Private Sightseeing Tour Sea to Sky and Whistler

About This Experience

This is a private, chauffeured day on the Sea-to-Sky Highway from STAR Chauffeured Services, built around your group's interests and schedule. The price covers the whole group, up to 12 people, with a personal guide who drives and helps shape the day. You set the departure and return times, and the operator offers pickup, so the day can start from wherever you are staying. The listing gives about 10 hours for the full outing.

The usual framework takes in Shannon Falls, the Tantalus Glacier Lookout and Whistler Village, and you decide how long to spend at each. Around that, your guide can add cultural stops, food and drink, or detours that suit your group. One reviewer says the guide suggested extra stops and sights during the day and was flexible with the itinerary, and that flexibility is the main reason to book a private day.

Paid add-ons can be built in, such as the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish, a zipline or a helicopter flight. These are extras: admission fees are not part of the price, so any tickets are paid on top. Parking fees and the gratuity are already included, which is uncommon and removes two small costs from the day. Specialized infant seats are available, and the listing rates the day suitable for all fitness levels.

At a per-group price, the value depends on group size. For a family or a party of friends filling most of the seats, it can compare well with booking several places on a coach tour. For a couple it costs far more than a shared tour. The operator has a perfect 5.0 rating from 43 reviews, and free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start.

Good to Know & Caveats

• The price is per group of up to 12 people, not per person.
• Admission fees are not included. If you add the Sea to Sky Gondola, zipline or helicopter flight, those tickets are extra.
• The Sea to Sky Gondola is closed for annual maintenance 9 to 26 November 2026 and reopens 27 November, so it cannot be added on those dates.
• The Sea to Sky Gondola is in Squamish and is a different lift from Whistler's PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola.
• Specialized infant seats are available, infants can come in a pram or stroller, and service animals are allowed.
• Suitable for all fitness levels.
• Highway 99 requires winter tires from 1 October to 30 April; the operator's vehicle handles this, so it only matters if you compare with driving yourself.
