This Coastal Discovery Tour combines the best of our two most popular day trips in a flexible, multi-day package. Travel from Vancouver to Whistler as part of our Whistler & Shannon Falls Tour on one of our 24-passenger mini-coaches. Board your Harbour Air seaplane at Whistler’s Green Lake and fly to Victoria’s Inner Harbour. Conclude by joining our Victoria & Butchart Gardens Tour to bring you back to Vancouver. Choose how many days you would like to spend in each destination while discovering BC’s beautiful coastlines.
Begin the Coastal Discovery Tour in Vancouver, where your tour guide will greet you in your hotel lobby to take you on the first leg of our Whistler & Shannon Falls Tour. We will drive you to Whistler by mini-coach for your first day of adventure. Enjoy views of the Howe Sound, an ancient glacial fjord, from the scenic Sea to Sky Highway as you weave your way along the coast before heading into the mountains. Watch for local wildlife like black bears and bald eagles as you drive past Squamish and Brackendale en route to Whistler.
After an orientation tour around Whistler we will provide you with maps of Whistler (and Victoria) along with your flight details before dropping you off at your hotel. Admission to the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre is included in the tour package, and your Tour Guide can assist with arranging any other activities you may want to experience during your stay. On the day you depart Whistler, Harbour Air personnel will take you by shuttle bus to Green Lake for your one-hour seaplane flight to Victoria! Your flight departs 11:30 AM.
View glaciers, rugged snowcapped mountain peaks, lush alpine meadows and glacial lakes as Whistler recedes behind you, then fly over Howe Sound, Georgia Strait and the Gulf Islands on your way south to Vancouver Island. Arrive in Downtown Victoria, landing in the Inner Harbour just steps from the Empress Hotel, Provincial Parliament Buildings and the Royal British Columbia Museum. A Harbour Air shuttle bus will take you to the front door of your hotel. As BC’s capital city, see why Victoria has earned the catchphrase “More English than the English”.
On the day you have arranged your return to Vancouver we will meet you at approximately 3:00 PM. Guests are asked to call our main office at 11:00 AM on this day so we can confirm the meeting time and location, and give you the name of your Tour Guide.
Shortly after departing Downtown Victoria we will arrive at the world-famous Butchart Gardens where you will have free time to explore, enjoy, and smell the flowers. From here we continue to the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal where your mini-coach will drive aboard one of the BC Ferries’ ships for the one and a half hour crossing. You saw the Georgia Strait and the Gulf Islands from the air on your way to Victoria, now see it from the water as your ship cruises around the islands. Watch for bald eagels, orcas and other marine wildlife during the crossing. Your mini-coach will drive off the ship for the final drive to your Richmond/Vancouver hotels.
