Embrace the Elements: A Rainy Day Adventure

As the rain gently taps on your window, you might be tempted to stay indoors, but Squamish’s rugged beauty beckons the bold-hearted. On March 29th, the weather may be partly cloudy with a high chance of rain, but that only adds to the thrill of the Mountain Tour adventure. Starting at 9:30 AM, this full-day private mountain tour takes you through the iconic Sea-to-Sky Highway, where the misty mountains and cascading waterfalls create a dramatic backdrop for your journey.

Feel the adrenaline as you traverse the path leading to the 2010 Winter Olympics, with stops at the majestic Shannon Falls and the awe-inspiring Whistler Village.

“Great day trip - Our guide Shannon made it such a fun day trip for us. Driving through Stanley Park, stopping at Shannon Falls Park, having a ride on Sea to Sky Gondola, having lunch in Whistler and driving all the way back to Vancouver in one day would have been impossible on our own. Shannon made the whole trip so easy. She is very professional. We also would like to add she is a safe driver. Thank you, Shannon!!” - Reviewed on 2024-10-11

“Awesome hike with Ria! - Our guide for the trip was Ria, and she was 5 star from beginning to end. Pick up was easy, and we enjoyed a nice ride up to Squamish. The hike to the first peak was a challenging 2000’ vertical, took us 1:30 up, about an hour down. The weather was perfect, and we saw some paragliders and squirrel suit jumpers off the 2nd peak. We then had a great beer and pizza in town before heading back to Vancouver. Ria was the perfect guide for this day, and we would love to hike and tour with her again someday. If you are active and like hiking, this is a great 6 hour excursion-highly recommend!” - Reviewed on 2023-10-23
