Please be warn if you have a fear of heights. My friend and I upload with another set of friends and experienced the ride up. During the right, the gondola came to a complete stop for less than a minute. But it was windy and the gondola swung back and forth. It was a bit scary, but quickly the track continued a the gondola continued to ascent to the submit. At the top, there is the suspension bridge. Which is really nice. It gives a nice view of the submit lodge. There are small hikes around the place and the views from those hikes are magnificent. Once you're done with your hikes, you can venture inside the submit lodge. Inside is a good selection of food options.

You hear the ride up and down is only 10 minutes and you start to wonder if the money spent is worth it. But then as you ascend up the mountain and look all around you in this beautifully clear and clean gondola, the lake below is pristine. The mountains around you barely hide the clouds as they lazily drift by. The trees envelop you with all their greenery. All of this is happening in these mere 10 minutes. However, once you arrive up top and get off the gondola a large selection of different adventures await you. You could warm yourself up at the visitor centre just right of the gondolas where you can get some hot food and look out through its huge glass windows out into the wilderness. You could also walk outside said visitor centre and onto the suspension bridge. It looks daunting at first, but it isn't too long and you get some wonderful photos from it. There are also several different hikes located all throughout the area with varying degrees of difficulty. The one just on the other side of the suspension bridge is an easy loop hike you can do under ten minutes with astounding moments of forest bathing. You can also go and ski or tube when there is snow. When you go with a tour package, usually you only have about an hour and a half of time up here, but if you're on your own this could easily be a 3-4 hour excursion. Those the price might be steep for some to utilize the gondolas, if you decide to make a day trip out of this visit it'll be worth the money to get the views, air, and experience that is Sea to Sky Gondola.

    Excellent customer service | fun on the water…read more Visiting Squamish, we initially came here to climb for the whole week. We took a couple off days and one of those days was spent renting a canoe through this company. This company has it all: rentals, tours, and lessons. Kayaking, canoeing, SUPing, wakeboarding, kiteboarding...etc. We decided to go with the inflatable canoe allowing us for more flexibility to transport it, plus it saved us time to blow up/take down. I believe it came out to be about $100 for 3-4 hrs. They also have wetsuits, snacks, beverages, water accessories at the front desk in case you need anything before you set off on your adventure. We canoed on the lake at Murrin Park. It was so nice out and the launch area was open and easy. There is a picnic area too. Another great location to take the canoe out is at Alice Lake. Both of these locations are nearby. We went with these locations because we wanted a kid-friendly, easy/calm area to paddle around without much resistance. The afternoon wind kicks up and water gets more choppy in the Howe Sound. One important thing to note about customer service: our seats didn't work for us in one of the canoes (broken from lots of use) so after telling one of the workers upon returning it, they gave us a free 3-4hr ride session next time we come back. They're supposed to check their gear before letting us go off on our adventure. We really appreciated it!

    Big thanks to these guys for kicking off our buddy's bachelor party with a wakeboarding lesson…read more Nico was driving our boat and was awesome all around. All four of us newbies got great rides in after learning all his tips, and he was a great time to hang out with. The views from the Howe Sound were epic! Highly recommend giving this a go, and ask for Nico!

    During our babymoon to Whistler, we wanted to do some lake activities but thought kayaking would be…read moretoo strenuous for me. So we found Backroads, which offers pedal boating, which was the perfect activity. At $110/hour, it's more expensive than taking a kayak or a canoe (which I believe is $99) and doesn't seem as popular (there were only 2-3 pedal boats). We got there on a Friday at around 10:30 in the morning and it seems the most popular option was the kayak. But pedal boating was perfect for us. First, you go to the kiosk and put down a credit card. Then, you head over to a shed to pick up your life jacket, and depending on which boat you're taking, the crew will let you know the instructions and where to go. We took the boat for about an hour, which was enough time for us to go around the lake with some breaks in between. When you're done, you row back to where you launched, return your life jacket, and go close out the bill. Overall, it was kind of pricey but it was a fun experience being out on Lake Alta. Tip - no parking lot. There's only residential street parking, which wasn't plenty but we were still able to nab a spot at that hour. Bathrooms are actual stalled bathrooms and are pretty clean.

    Terrible experience with this agency. They have a monopoly on the lake so can't do much…read more Fundamentally they claim policies and double charge you on your credit card. The staff is untrained and not really engaged in providing instructions. Would avoid them on the next visit.

We paddled for 6 days and camped for 5 nights. The scenery and whale watching aspects of the trip were excellent. The camps were comfortable and well supported by occasional re-supply from the base back in Port NcNiell. The camp on Sophia Island was particularly well appointed with already set tents, cots and a nice kitchen and sitting area. The food prepared by our guide was excellent and hearty. I would certainly recommend this group for paddlers of all levels of experience.

We learned a lot from him and enjoyed spending some time getting to know him. Our guide, Korry, was also excellent. He was also friendly and welcoming and made sure we were well fed and had a good time. There is never a guarantee of finding specific wildlife when you are out in the wild, but Larry and Korry knew the animals behaviors and made sure to stay up to date on recent patterns and updates from all the other local teams in order to give us the best chance to see orcas, humpbacks, eagles, seals, and lots of other wildlife while out kayaking. Even if we didn't see any whales the entire time, it still would have been a great trip. However, we did see lots of orca and humpbacks during our time. They even came right by our island one evening, where we could see them from our dinner table and hear them while sleeping in our tents. I highly recommend going with Larry and Discovery Expeditions. We hope to make another trip in the future.
