Travel times

We suggest letting us help you secure a booking with our locally-based & trusted partners with whom we have long standing relationships.

Some of our guests have experienced issues when booking themselves directly or via third party transportation sites who may not be as well versed with Whistler’s particular needs; these companies act as a booking agent only, similar to Expedia, however they do not operate or own the vehicles themselves, and last-moment cancellations are not uncommon. If you choose to book directly with any agency, online or by phone, we strongly encourage you to reach out and connect directly with the company they have booked you with ahead of time to ensure they will be able to provide the service you have requested.

Whistler Shuttle does not offer scheduled departures from YVR but does match your arrival time with other arriving guests. You will typically travel in 20 passengers’ minibus but occasionally in a larger coach.
