After your fill of city life, you’ll pick up a hire car and drive along the stunning Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler, with ample stops along the way to take photographs of dramatic waterfalls and dense green forested habitats where you’re likely to spot wildlife. We’ve included three nights in Whistler to allow plenty of time for you to explore the alpine-style, traffic-free resort centre and the surrounding mountainous region.
