The office reached out and asked if we were able to schedule a few days later to best allow for a great lesson. A couple days later we had a fantastic kiteboarding lesson with Tom. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and walked us through the fundamentals, and we had a blast. He even got the beginner in our group up on the board on the first day! Thanks Tom and Squamish Watersports!

Today because snow is forcast tomorrow and will continue all day I asked to switch my reservation to a different date. Explaining my vehicle will not safely get me there. Not once did I ask for my money back, I understand a strict no refund policy. Infact I really am not worried about the deposit. Lack of customer service, that annoys me, young patronizing employees annoy me lack of communication and listening skills annoy me. Lack of customer appreciation annoys me. I did email the owner, who seems wasnt clearly told the whole story and couldn't even comprehend why I would be annoyed. I'm sorry this was my experience and I'm actually sorry I have to write this. You will probably have a great experience as I have for the last 5 years. Good luck! However I will find somewhere else to shop after today.

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.

Okay everybody this is British Columbia,Squamish BC to be exact. There is a famous slogan, "Do as…read morethey do in Rome". So when in BC get up and and let your inner ruggidness out and enjoy the fury of the wild. That said I am so glad I did not spend time in Vancouver all day. Since I am an AAA member and they do have an account with Viator, I looked at various activities I could possibly do in BC like fishing, rafting etc. However, I remember that waves can be very strong in September in this area around this time, and if you want to go fishing I have to call and pay for a British Columbia fishing permit. So I decided to do a kayaking trip and I had such a blast. Now I could have gone to Whistler, but choose Squamish as my destination because it was closer to Vancouver (65km north of Vancouver). Upon my arrival I met two professional and highly adept representatives of "Sea To Sky Adventure". The first woman I met was Elise ( Sorry if I got the name wrong). Elise was a very kind and capable driver. Second woman was my instructor and tour guide Amy. Elise drove us across town to Howe Sound. Once we got to Howe Sound I learned I was the only person in this tour so I had a lot of time. This was when Amy took over. Amy thoroughly instructed me on maneuvering the kayak on to Howe Sound and let me tell you it was gonna be the beginning of a memorable trip. As we proceeded into the water, we kayaked all around the bay. Amy did a great job in making sure that I am safe. She not only instructed me on getting around in the Kayak, but also guided be around Squamish. She showed me "The Chief" a significant granular structure, Shannon Falls, the import ships, the gondola that goes up the mountain and the estuary. We also saw a Harbor Seal popping its head above the water as well I just had such a blast the weather was calm. It was early in the morning and the place was placate and serene. As I learned from Amy morning times are the best time for kayaking because waves are much more subtle and therefore easier on the arms. That whole morning was like an escape from the real world of pressure, Type A personalities, and malicious cadiness of our 9-5 lives. Thank you Sea To Sky and most of all thank you Amy for being an outstanding Kayak instructor and tour guide and Elise for being a great driver as well.

This hike requires taking a ferry from Vancouver to Bowen Island, but the views are worth it, I…read morepromise. There's a bit of distance from the ferry to the trailhead, but it's a leisurely walk that's pretty straightforward, so no problems there. When the hike starts, you'll feel it, because almost immediately it's a steep incline. Thankfully, this gets a better a little while later. Be aware of signs and trail indicators, as they're easily missed. You won't get lost, but you will add some time to your hike because you'll have to circle back. Be careful on the way down as well, as the rocks can be a bit slippery especially on the inclines. I took a fall and cut my hand, and besides experiencing time in slow motion, I would not recommend it. Use caution. You'll be able to see two different views - one approximately 2/3 of the way up, and one at the top. There's two helipads for you to sit on and enjoy the view, so take your time at the top to soak it all in. Be wary of ferry times! Make sure you get to the bottom before the last one leaves Bowen Island. Have fun!

I decided to hike to Sea to Summit Trail in Squamish after my financial advisor who is a runner…read moretold me that she's done it a few times and she recommends it. The entrance to the trail is behind the main entrance to the Sea to Sky Gondola. Since the Sea to Sky Gondola had a three-hour limit for parking, I parked at Shannon Falls Province Park. Also, there are free shuttle services from the Darrell Bay Parking lot on the weekends to the base of the Sea to Sky Gondola for hikers and Gondola riders -- every 15 minutes. I came here on B.C. Day during the long weekend, and it was a very warm and sunny 30 Celsius! The starting area of the Sea to Summit Trail is the same as Stawamus Chief Trail, but you will have to make a right turn after you head up a very steep climb. You will have to be very careful because it is very easy to miss the right turn to officially start the Sea to Summit Trail. Watch for the signs! If you miss the turn, you will end up going to the Stawamus Chief Trail system. The 7.5-km hike was technical and challenging for some areas, and it was much more difficult than the Grouse Grind. There were a few trails, but a lot of the hiking was trekking through dirt, roots and rocks. I had to use the green diamond shaped markers on the trees to tell me where I had to go. I will say that the climbing aspect was more technical than the Squamish 50 which was rated as tough. In addition, you will have to do some rock climbing. Although it was my first time, I highly recommend hiking it on a sunny dry day because wet weather will make the terrain very slippery, especially for the rocky sections. There were some steep sections and chains and ropes were provided. One area, after the Gondola passing, had a large vertical shaped rock which I had to climb and I had to pull myself over it. Luckily, I had grippy shoes, but it took me two tries to climb up the large steep rock and there were no aided ropes or chains. You will also hike past Shannon Falls and Shannon Creek which some hikers use it for refilling their hydration system. My favourite sections were the gondola passing area and I also very much enjoyed the section right after the 1/2 way marker which had a breathtaking view of Howe sound. Near the end of the hike, there were two choices to the summit. Shannon Basin Loop, which was 3.5 km and it, was rated as easy. The second choice was Upper Sea to Summit which was rated as most difficult and it was 2.3km. I took the Upper Sea to Summit trail, and it felt that it wasn't difficult at all. It was probably the easiest part of the hike. There were some steep rocky climbing areas, but ropes were provided and it was a sunny dry day, so it wasn't slippery at all. This was a challenging and enjoyable hike. The scenery was beautiful, and it wasn't crowded like the Stawamus Chief Trail. Just remember to wear grippy footwear, brings lots of water and snacks. Also, remember to bring cash or your credit card because going down on the Gondola will cost you 15 dollars.
