All-Star Activities
There's a bucket list, and then there's a bucket list, which pulls out all the stops. World-renowned Head-Line Mountain Holidays falls squarely into the latter category with luxury heli-tour experiences to write home about—even if your home is nearby Vancouver.
Their guided Heli-Sled and Ice Cave Explore experience will lift you off from Whistler in a helicopter for a jaw-dropping flight over ice fields before setting you down in the midst of an ice cap for a bespoke adventure that could include snowbiking, snowmobiling, snow buggies, and more. An expert tour guide will lead your personal, informative Ice Age-like experience, which includes a delicious scenic lunch; just be sure to bring a good camera to snap the aqua blue ice cave chambers in all their natural glory.
Speaking of adrenaline junkies, do not miss a fresh-air zipline session with award-winning Ziptrek Ecotours, which was founded in Whistler 20 years ago. Soaring thousands of feet about lush forests, snowy peaks, and glacial rivers is an indescribable feeling, and one that Whistler’s natural beauty lends itself to. Try out their seasonal Winter Après Tour, a special after-dusk option (available through April) that includes four ziplines, four treetop bridges, and magical twinkle lights lining the course.
No matter if you’re a first-timer or a seasoned snowmobiler, Canadian Wilderness Adventures and The Adventure Group are two favoured operators offering breathtaking tours for every ability level. For breakfast with a view, Canadian Wilderness Adventure serves up their signature Yukon Breakfast Tour; ride your snowmobile along freshly groomed tracks to a hearty skillet breakfast at the operator’s rustic cabin on Sproatt Mountain. The Adventure Group provides stellar family tours as well as a fun Choose Your Own Adventure package, which offers up ziplining and snowshoeing alongside snowmobiling for triple the fun (excursions do not have to happen on the same day).
Accommodation Tips
