Vancouver: Sea to Sky Gondola & Whistler Private EV Tour｜Canada

Your adventure begins with a private pickup from your Vancouver hotel in a Rivian R1S— a premium luxury electric SUV that sets the tone for a zero-emission day through one of the world’s great mountain landscapes. With your own dedicated local guide and no shared coaches, the pace is entirely yours.

Departing downtown Vancouver, your route takes you past the iconic Stanley Park seawall and across the Lions Gate Bridge — one of Canada’s most recognizable landmarks — with the first views of the North Shore mountains framing the harbour below. As the city gives way to the coast, the Sea to Sky Highway (Highway 99) unfolds dramatically — saltwater inlets, granite cliffs, and the towering peaks of the Coast Mountains building anticipation for what lies ahead.

Your first major stop is the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish, BC. Ride to the summit at 885 metres and step into a world of sweeping panoramas: Howe Sound fjord stretching south toward Vancouver Island, the sheer face of the Stawamus Chief rising from the valley floor, and the jagged peaks of the Coast Mountains in every direction.

Cross the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge — 100 metres of open-grate walkway suspended above a mountain gorge — for a perspective that stops most people in their tracks. Explore summit trails, the lodge, and viewpoints at your own pace before continuing north.

The drive to Whistler passes through the Cheakamus Canyon and beneath the snow capped Tantalus Range — some of the most dramatic highway scenery in British Columbia.

Whistler Village is your destination for the afternoon — the car-free pedestrian heart of a world-class alpine resort and host of the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. With approximately 2.5 hours of free time, you can browse boutique shops and galleries, settle into one of dozens of award-winning restaurants, visit the Audain Art Museum — a world-class collection of BC art housed in a stunning mountain building — or the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre, which tells the story of the two First Nations on whose traditional territory Whistler sits. The village rewards slow exploration.

Your guide meets you for the return journey at 3:00 PM, and you are back at your Vancouver hotel by approximately 5:00 PM — a full 8‒9 hours of private, sustainable travel through the best of the Sea to Sky corridor.
