Day 2: Explore Vancouver and the Capilano Suspension BridgeDiscover the best of Vancouver in a relaxed and efficient way with this private six-hour tour. Perfect for travelers who want a well-rounded introduction to the city, this experience combines must-see landmarks, local neighborhoods, and stunning natural scenery; all at a comfortable pace. You'll visit some of Vancouver's most popular spots, including Stanley Park, where you can see the famous Totem Poles, and Granville Island Public Market, known for its local food and artisan shops. The tour also takes you through historic Gastown to see the Steam Clock, as well as Chinatown, one of the oldest in North America. Your guide will lead you through Robson Street, Vancouver's main shopping area, as you take in views of English Bay, Vancouver Harbour, and the lively neighborhood of Yaletown from the comfort of your private vehicle. A highlight of the tour is a visit to the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Walk across the 450-foot (137-meter) bridge high above the Capilano River, then explore the surrounding forest trails and treetop walkways for a memorable outdoor experience. With all arrangements handled for you, the day unfolds effortlessly so you can focus on enjoying each stop.
Day 3: Taste your way through Gastronomic GastownGastown has long been the beating heart of Vancouver's culinary and cultural story, and this immersive evening brings both to life in delicious fashion. Your journey begins with a guided walking tour through one of Canada's most storied neighbourhoods, weaving through cobblestone streets as your guide shares the history and culture that give Gastown its unmistakable character. Along the way, settle in for five elegant plated tastings that read like a greatest-hits menu of Pacific Northwest cuisine; think Prawn and Scallop Gnocchi, Beef Tartare, ear and Prosciutto Salad, Boar Perogies with Caramelized Onion, and a Honey Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream and Raspberries to finish. Of course, the menu is ever-changing, so your experience will likely part from the sample menu above. The evening's centrepiece is a hands-on mixology experience where you'll craft your own Ukrainian Buckthorn Mocktail; or opt to give it a spirited upgrade. Those looking to pair their tastings further can enjoy a Sangria made with BC red wine or a 33 Ares Fluffy Cloud IPA. Before long, and after a tasty and informative afternoon, you'll bid farewell to your guide, who will leave you with ideas on how to spend the rest of your evening in Gastown.
Day 4: From Vancouver to Whistler with Shannon Falls and the Sea to Sky GondolaTrade Vancouver's city streets for the stunning mountain landscapes of the Sea to Sky corridor on this scenic private transfer to Whistler. Your expert guide will lead the way in a private vehicle along one of British Columbia's most celebrated drives, with two outstanding stops along the route. First, Shannon Falls commands attention as one of BC's tallest waterfalls, its powerful cascade dramatically crashing over ancient granite cliffs. From there, the Sea to Sky Gondola whisks you skyward for postcard perfect panoramic views of Howe Sound, coastal mountains, and old-growth forest. With gondola admissions, a private vehicle, and your guide all included, this seven-hour journey to Whistler is as memorable as the destination itself. The service wraps up as your guide drops you off at your hotel in Whistler.

Day 5: Snowshoeing and Wilderness Sauna ExperienceA guide will lead your trek through this wild place of beauty to the barrel saunas. Breathe in the magical air, bask in the natural medicinal energies of the old-growth forest, achieve heightened levels of awareness, detox in the wood-fired heat of the saunas, and feel your soul fully awaken as you connect to the natural world. The Finnish, Icelandic, and Norwegian cultures have long known the long list of health benefits of this Nordic practice of combining exercise, forest therapy, and wood-fired saunas.
Day 6: At Leisure in Wintery WhistlerWhistler in summer reveals a different side of one of Canada's most celebrated mountain destinations; and it's every bit as compelling as its winter reputation. The village itself is an easy, enjoyable place to spend a morning, with its alpine architecture, independent boutiques, and cafe terraces perfectly suited to a relaxed start. For those drawn outdoors, the options are exceptional; the Valley Trail network winds through forests and alongside lakes, while a ride on the Whistler Village Gondola opens up the high alpine for breathtaking walks above the treeline. Lost Lake is a local favourite for a peaceful afternoon, with swimming, paddling, and shaded trails on offer. Come evening, Whistler's restaurant scene delivers well above what you might expect from a mountain town, just settle in for a long dinner and let the alpenglow do the rest.
