Visitors to Whistler can enjoy a host of activities, from cold weather sports like skiing to warmer weather activities like golf. This walking village evokes an alpine-esque feel and visitors will have a blast no matter what time of year they visit. Winter sports include snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sleigh riding, tubing and eagle viewing. Guests can also enjoy tasting tours or spa treatments. Summertime guests enjoy ATV, Jeep and bike tours; canoeing; whitewater rafting; and fishing. Whether you choose to take the Whistler bus service or book a fancy limo, your transportation to Whistler will be an easy start to your vacation.
To get to Whistler from the Vancouver International Airport, guests can hire airport service and book anything from a sedan to a stretch limousine or even a limo bus. Fees are relatively inexpensive, averaging less than $70 per person for many ride options. Alternatively, guests can also take a shuttle or bus service from the airport to Whistler - you can even store your skis or snowboard on the shuttle so they'll get to Whistler safely, along with you and the rest of your crew. The quickest transportation option is to hop on a Whistler floatplane - trained pilots will transport you to Whistler, complete with gorgeous views of Shannon Falls and the Howe Sound.
While Whistler guests don't need a car in order to get around the village, some people may still opt to rent a car from the airport and drive the two hours straight to their lodge door. The customer service representatives at the airport will happily help you to reserve your rental car upon arrival; or if you prefer to hunt for the perfect car on your own, feel free to search for the car you want at the right price online. Whistler promotes Avis rental companies, and outlets are stationed in Whistler, Vancouver and Seattle. One way options are also available. From float planes, trains and limos, to car rentals, bus and taxis, transportation to Whistler is not only easy but a scenic adventure to be enjoyed.
