Sightseeing/Attractions

Aerial Sightseeing

Aerial sightseeing is one of Whistler's most spectacular and magical experiences. Flights leave every day and qualified, experienced pilots know just where to take you to see the amazing vistas. You'll see every mountain range, glacier, valley, river, lake, and settlement - and have a better understanding of this amazing landscape.

Tours

Sightseeing tours can be as brief as 9 minutes or as long as a full day - even longer if you charter.

Whistler Mountaineer Train

Welcome aboard Canada's most exciting new travel experience, fast becoming a world-renowned train journey. The Whistler Mountaineer provides you with an exclusive look at some of the most spectacular views in British Columbia. Following the famous Sea-to-Sky corridor, this three-hour train experience is a link between two world-class destinations, showcasing Vancouver to Whistler, British Columbia, like never before. The route delivers the unique blend of contrasts that the Sea-to-Sky region is famous for: cities and old-growth forests, bustling action and natural serenity, deep valleys and snow-capped mountain peaks, seascapes and mountain views.

Eagle Watching

In the United States, the bald eagle is still a rare and endangered species. Canada, and in particular the Squamish Estuary in Brackendale (just one hour from Vancouver and Whistler) is more fortunate. This area features the highest concentration of bald eagles in the world as they are drawn to the river corridor to feast on thousands of spawning salmon. Up to 3700 eagles have been counted in the corridor every year! Canadian Outback offers two bald eagle viewing tours, both of which provide an intimate view of one of nature's most awesome spectacles.

Fishing

Fishing is a year round sport in Whistler.

The Squamish/Whistler area is one of the best and most favourable places to fish on the West Coast .

You can catch rainbow trout, Dolly Varden char, cutthroat trout, steelhead, and five species of salmon all in the Whistler area.

Nature Walks

Ancient Cedars

The Ancient Cedars are a stand of some dozen old growth trees. They are breathtakingly beautiful. This area was logged in the late 1800s and these amazing giants were preserved; they reach some 61 metres (200 feet) high and the largest, considered to be about 1,300 years old, would take about six men to join hands and reach around its circumference. Trees of this size are unusual at this elevation - about 1,066 metres (3,500 feet).

Shopping

It's worth the trip just for the shopping. The Village of Whistler is a shoppers paradise, pedestrian friendly walkways and plazas lead you through shops, boutiques, art galleries and theatres. You'll find everything you need for while you're here and plenty of souvenirs to take home with you.
