This enchanted light show event is only at night for the best viewing. Free parking lot if you are driving or you can pay for a shuttle from town. The "camp" home base has changed a bit in the last few years. Now there are camp fires to sit by if you come early. Drinks and snacks for purchase as well. Once your tour starts, you will walk a very easy wide path through the forest. It's self guided, but you will be with others in your group. You can hang back or rush through. Everything is on a loop. It has been snowy, rainy, cold, and dry during my visits. Dress accordingly as you will enjoy every single time. There are things to see and hear. I don't want to spoil it, but it's really special. If you want spoilers, look at my photos. Most of all, enjoy it!

The wine sabering demo was a highlight and Christine did some trivia and games that kept us all engaged. Would definitely recommend!

We learned not only about bears but the foliage and berries they eat. An hour into our tour, Joel spotted a bear about 100 feet in the woods sitting with his back to us. The bear slowly moved toward our Jeep and came out of the woods fifteen feet to the left front side of our Jeep. We learned her name is Ruby and she walked down the road for at least 100 yards before going back into the woods on the other side of the road. Fortunately, we have a great video of Ruby walking toward us and down the road. Joel said she was about 14 years old weighing 300+ pounds. As a bonus, we were able to visit Olympic Park and saw the shooting area for the Olympic biathlon, went to the top of the 90 meter ski jump and Joel took us down one road where we truly did off road driving. A truly memorable experience. Tom G

There are 5 ziplines and each one has such a beautiful, breathtaking view. I loved every second of it and I already know I will be doing this again. Highly recommend it to anyone, even if you are scared like me.

Don't waste your time and money…read more tl;dr - go somewhere else. We did the family tour. It sucked. There is a lot wrong here: 1 - The whole tour is "follow the leader" at an excruciatingly slow pace. There's no fast part of the trail, nor any area where you're allowed to really experience any adrenaline at all. I can't emphasize this point enough - this is an extremely calm, slow, uninteresting tour. Your heart rate will not go up. 2 - The trail is poorly maintained and you'll be bobbing up and down an obnoxious amount. 3 - The machines are old and poorly maintained. My windshield fell off (by itself) twice on the ride. 4 - The process to geared up and get going takes so long (because there isn't enough staff) that your 2 hr tour will be 90 mins max. 5 - The whole operation is disorganized and you'll spend a lot of time waiting around for them to figure out who/what/where. As for the positives: 1 - The tour guide was nice and she tried her best. 2 - Nice that they provide transport to/from Whistler village. I've had much better experiences on other tours. Go somewhere else and have actual fun.

Like everyone else, I'm pretty sure this year has been feeling like one of the longest never ending…read morestories of our lives!!! 2020 please end soon ... please!? Needed this dayscape - via the magnificent Sea-to-Sky Highway to the majestic mountain enclave - Whistler - in beautiful British Columbia! Folks be prepared - you will be tempted to stop several times on the drive up. Spectacular views during the daylight hours will leave you breathless!!! This review is done under - Whistler - but encompasses the drive up, the beautiful scenery, the mountains & forest that are all part of an amazing nature built province ('State' - for all those in Merica) of BC. And no, BC does not belong to Britain but to Canada. Don't laugh I've been asked this question before! I won't get into the whole Commonwealth technicality but yes if one is leaning towards that angle I guess you could say - the Queen does own the whole of Canada as we pay mega bucks as in millions each year to the UK - to be part of the British Empire! Oh how lucky we are!? So Harry & Megan got tired of this British royalty life & escaped to a quieter environment in ... Hollywood!?? Ok then!!! The big draw to Whistler is in the winter - skiing & snowboarding. The Blackcomb & Whistler mountains are world wide renowned & super popular! Hiking & mountain biking takeover in the summer. Whistler is mighty expensive so bring all 5 of your credit cards! There are a few good restaurants as well but please make reservations ahead of time or you'll be left hopping around to find whatever's available. Of note & in no particular order but worth trying, Oso Bar (Spanish) - make reservations this spot is fire (thank you manager for the complimentary dessert), Lucia Gelato (try the Ginger flavour), Fat Tony's Pizza (open till 3am so could be a real life saver), El Funiture Warehouse aka All Food @ $5.95 Everyday - that's like $3 bucks US right!?! Everyone eats here, superstars, the rich, the average Joe - there's no class rules when your starving & don't want to blow a lot of money - you will save money eating here!!! Avalanche Pizza, Splitz Grill (can be pricey but it's the burger you design so blame yourself for the hunger causing your mind to go crazy with so many toppings) & finally tacos at La Cantina. There's a few more spots including fine dining but that will be for an update after covid-19 ends. I'm real hesitant to go inside & prefer to stick to patio dining for now, as much as I can. The Whistler Village area is real easy to walk around in & you'll only need to drive if you have to go further up the mountain. I have been coming to Whistler since the early 90s & have stayed in many hotels & condo rentals. Definitely shop around & prebook your stay before coming up here. However, today's trip was just a day trip escape from the big city & was thoroughly enjoyed. The drive from Vancouver takes 90 minutes or less depending on how fast you drive - longer if you stop along the way & or make a pit stop in Squamish, a beautiful town & worth the stop - see my Squamish review. Whoa got the shock of my life while walking about! Five years ago on a cruise in the Caribbean, our group met the super charismatic, charming, & so awesome Cruise Director (entertainment) Matt! Check him out on Instagram @ mattcruisedirector. Merica many of you might be very familer with him from the Carnival Cruise Line!!! Couldn't believe he's now living here - currently on the Sunshine Coast of BC but will be relocating to Vancouver. It was a pleasure to run into him & his wife! I had vivid fond cruise flashback memories while chatting with him. That awesome cruise back in 2015 on Carnival Breeze was phenomenal!!!!! It was a total awesome riot! I discovered my island paradise - Curaçao! Side note - Vancouver & Whistler hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics! I can tell you from first hand experience with actually being involved in the Olympics as a volunteer - it was so spectacular an event!!!!! Vancouverites today still speak highly of it! Super natural Whistler is highly recommended if you've never been - so do check it out! Come experience Whistler & be wowed!!! You will exhale & feel that - we got this ... life is good after all!!!!!

One of the best bonuses right off the bat was the free transportation they provide from Whistler Village out to their basecamp--it made the logistics completely seamless. Make sure you arrive with some time to spare because their basecamp is awesome. They have a bunch of complimentary activities to keep you entertained before or after your tour, including Wiffle ball golf, axe throwing, a nice hike around the beautiful grounds, and giant yard games like Jenga, tic-tac-toe, and cornhole. It really extends the adventure and adds so much value! When it comes to the rafting itself, they make the whole process completely stress-free. Literally all we needed to bring was a bathing suit and a towel--they provide absolutely everything else. Since the water was still cold, they geared us up in full wetsuits, a jacket, boots, a life jacket, and a paddle. We rafted the Green River, which features class 2-3 rapids. It is the perfect adventure for beginners because you get plenty of opportunities to get splashed and feel the adrenaline, but it still feels completely safe. Our group of six was paired with an amazing guide who gave us super detailed instructions on all the paddle movements we needed to know to work as a team. If you are looking for a fun, well-organized, and action-packed water adventure in Whistler, I highly recommend TAG!
