Finer Things Dinner Tour

This culinary walking tour is an excellent way to experience some of Whistler’s finest dining establishments, whilst exploring the bustling streets of the Village. During the tour you will be taken to four award-winning restaurants and enjoy a different course at each. You will also visit an impressive 15,000 bottle wine cellar where you can try your hand at the ceremonial way of opening a champagne bottle with a sabre! You will learn about the history of Whistler, its food scene and each of the locations you are visiting, and expert wine pairing can be added locally for an additional cost (approximately $35 per person). If you enjoy food and wine, and meeting locals and travellers alike, then this tour is definitely for you!

Helicopter Adventures in Whistler

Exploring Whistler from the sky offers an unforgettable perspective of its stunning natural beauty. Helicopter tours in this region provide extraordinary bird’s-eye views of the iconic Whistler-Blackcomb Resort, the breathtaking Cheakamus Glacier, and the striking landscapes of Garibaldi Provincial Park. These flights allow you to witness the grandeur of British Columbia’s wilderness in a way that simply can’t be matched from the ground. One of the highlights of these tours is the opportunity for a mountain landing (weather permitting), where you can step out of the helicopter and take in the awe-inspiring scenery from a remote mountaintop. Mountain landings are a complimentary add-on, and while the flight time remains the same, this bonus experience is entirely dependent on weather conditions. The tour operator will contact guests on days with poor weather to discuss alternative options, ensuring your adventure remains as enjoyable as possible. For those who want to take the experience a step further, heli-hiking offers a thrilling combination of flying and trekking. Whistler’s helicopter excursions provide access to some of the most incredible hiking terrains in the world, spread across eight distinct mountain regions in Southwest British Columbia. Whether you’re seeking an easy trek with jaw-dropping views or a more challenging hike that makes the most of your head start on the elevation, professionally certified guides will tailor the experience to your ability level and personal goals.

Twilight Wildlife Canoe Trip

The watercourse which flows between Alta Lake and Green Lake just outside Whistler is known as the River of Golden Dreams, a scenic stretch of lush, old-growth forest and wildflower lined banks surrounded by beautiful mountain vistas. At twilight the river comes alive with birds and animals moving around in the early evening light and this is a lovely time of day to take a gentle paddle along the waterway. Keep an eye out for black bears, otters, beavers, raccoons, eagles and osprey, and enjoy the golden glow of the sunset against the surrounding snow-capped peaks.

Spectacular Glacier Scenic Flight

This 30 minute scenic floatplane excursion departs from Whistler and takes you directly over Garibaldi Provincial Park where you will find towering snow-capped peaks draped in glaciers and surrounded by alpine meadows and turquoise lakes. From this birds-eye perspective you can truly appreciate the wilderness and beauty of this area, and you will also get fantastic views of Whistler and Blackcomb villages and the nearby ski-runs. The floatplane departs from Green Lake, about a five minute drive from Whistler. Transfers can be arranged from Whistler Village.

Whistler - Ideas for Free Time

You don’t have to search too hard to find things to do here — activities abound in every corner of this lively town. For adventure enthusiasts, there’s a wide range of options: mountain biking, ziplining, white-water rafting, tubing, paragliding, and ATV or 4WD tours, to name just a few. If you prefer to explore on foot, the surrounding mountains offer numerous walking trails, and the Peak 2 Peak Gondola provides a thrilling ride to dizzying heights with spectacular views. If you have time, a couple of cultural attractions are well worth a visit. The Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre was the first centre dedicated to the history and culture of the local Indigenous peoples. It highlights two distinct First Nations groups—one coastal and one inland—offering a fascinating insight into their unique traditions and ways of life. Meanwhile, the Whistler Museum gives an overview of the modern-day development of this bustling resort, including its evolution into a snow sports hub. It features exhibits on the 2010 Olympics and historical imagery of people enjoying the slopes here.
