Summer Activities in Whistler

 

With so much to do in the summer in Whistler you will run out of time before you run out of activities.  Here is a list of some of our favourites on the water, in the air and on the ground.

 

On the Water

Location

There are three company’s that run White Water Rafting Tours; Wedge Rafting  and The Adventure Group which are both located in Whistler and Sunwolf which is located in Squamish.  All three companies run all the different rivers so depending on your ability level or need for adrenaline there is a package that will fit you and your loved ones.

Location

The Jetboating Tour base is located at the Meadows at Pemberton Golf Course located 25 minutes north in Pemberton BC.  The tour itself takes about an hour but I would leave extra time to explore this amazing town located at the base of 8,000 ft Mount Currie.

Location

There are two companies that run tours with canoes, kayaks and stand up paddleboards.  Whistler Eco Tours (WET), and Backroads Whistler.  You can set out on a solo adventure or take a guide.  You can even rent a SUP for a morning yoga class on the water.

 

In the Air

Location

You can board the plane at Nicklaus North Golf Course which is only 3 minutes north of Whistler Village.  Take off on Green Lake as you fly past the golf courses signature hole.  You wont be disappointed in the views you will see from the sky, definitely a must.

Location

The Adventure Group is located in Cougar Mountain and Ziptrek is located on Whistler Blackcomb.  Both companies have offices in the village and offer a shuttle to get you where all the action starts.  TAG offers several different activities that you can combine with your zipline adventure if you want to make a day out of it.

 

On The Ground

Big Sky is located 25 minutes north of Whistler in Pemberton BC and is considered one of BC’s premiere public golf courses. This Robert Cupp design is a links style course that sits beneath 8,000 foot Mount Currie. Their bent grass fairway, tees and greens have put them up there as one of the best conditioned facilities in BC.  Just north of Vancouver on the Sea to Sky Highway is Furry Creek.  This is one of BC most scenic golf courses, it is more of a golf course that one experiences with its adventurous style and layout it will be sure to keep you on your toes.

Location

There are three courses in Whistler; Nicklaus North, Fairmount Chateau and Whistler Golf.  Big Sky is located in Pemberton which is just a short 25 minute drive north of Whistler.  Furry Creek is located south of Squamish, around an hour north of the city.  If you are looking at hitting the links, our Sea to Sky Golf Getaway Package is just what you need.

Location

The tour takes place in the Cougar Mountains just north of Whistler Village.  You will check in at TAG headquarters in the village and a shuttle will take you to and from the adventure.  This is a great family adventure that starts at just $29.  Let your imagination come to life.

Location

Whistler is full of bike trails that span from Function Junction to Emerald.  Download TrailForks to get an idea of where each trail starts and finishes.  Don’t forget to plan out your day because some of the rides are not for the faint at heart.  If you decide to spend the day in the bike park, it is just steps from the Crystal Lodge and our Bike Park Package can help you get into the park faster.
