From the Field: Whistler Family Vacations

At Austin-Lehman Adventures, our guests are our best ambassadors. Here’s an excerpt from one couple's journal about their British Columbia Vacation:

“We've told everyone its one of the best vacations we've ever taken. All the decisions were made – you could truly relax and take in the experience.”

~ Kathy & Joe Dean, Opelika, Alabama – 2006 Whistler Family Vacation

Whistler Family - Mountains, Meadows & Wildlife Adventure

Soak up a week of family fun in Whistler
Whistler wows with wildflowers, whitewater, wilderness and wildlife...say that five times fast! Austin-Lehman's 5-day Whistler family adventure is oodles of fun for everyone. Parents can enjoy longer, more challenging activities like hikes and bike rides, and kids will have the opportunity to try their hands at everything from horseback riding to mini-golf, rock climbing, bungee trampolining and rappelling.

By day, bike paved back roads and quiet trails through Whistler Valley and around Lost, Alta and Green Lakes. Raft a scenic section of the Cheakamus River and enjoy a riverside barbecue and sunset drive along the Sea to Sky Highway, the Tantalus Mountain Range as your backdrop. Ride the gondola to the top of Whistler Mountain and trek the last 1,000 feet to the summit for 360-degree mountain, glacier and meadow views. By night, unwind with a well-earned meal at one of our favorite restaurants and a restful night's sleep in the comfort of your carefully selected lodge.

A few more reasons why you've gotta go…

  1. Joffre Lake hike: when you get to the top, look down – the water is so clear you can see all the way to the bottom!
  2. Rafting the Elaho: where else can you hear glacier silt on the bottom of your raft?
  3. The view from the top of Whistler Blackcomb: the 360-degree panorama is impossible to beat.
  4. Ever heard of bungee trampolining? The kids will love it!
