  • 5Must-do activity!!!

    It was awesome!! If you’re not comfortable with aggressive driving/off-roading, you’ll do well as a passenger :)

    Alice was a top guide. Also the rain makes the Event much better. Real fun in the Canadien nature. Top!

  • 5Thrilling experience

    We did the side by side buggy 2 hour tour with Toby. Our group was small, but we preferred this as it was more personal and meant the experience was more thrilling. We made several stops along the tour and info was good at all of them. Opportunities were given to swap drivers too. The buggies are indestructible and quite powerful. Really fun experience! Would highly recommend

About Whistler

Whistler, in the coastal mountains of British Columbia, is a ski and mountain-bike resort village between two big peaks, Whistler and Blackcomb.

Whistler sits in a valley of the Coast Mountains, about two hours' drive up the Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver, with a pedestrian village at the base of two mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb. The Peak 2 Peak gondola links the two mountains across a deep valley. The resort hosted the alpine events of the 2010 Winter Olympics, and the resort takes its name from the whistling calls of the marmots on the slopes.

Top-ranked sights in Whistler: Shannon Falls, Whistler-Blackcomb Mountains, Sea to Sky Highway.
