“For me, visiting Whistler after Shannon Falls and sea to sky gondola was the right order. It was why I booked this tour rather than another which did the Whistler visit first. Visited in October - post summer season and pre skiing season. Peak to peak gondola etc were closed as the resort is preparing for winter season. We walked to the lost lake and had dinner, which filled the 4 hours nicely. Would have loved to have experienced the other activities though.”
