Aymeric Best Driver - Unbelievable trip with Skylynx from downtown vancouver to whistler. Our driver Aymeric was awesome. Left my purse on the bus and he found it and ran out the bus after me to return. He asked me to leave Skylynx a good review if we appreciated the trip and service so here it is, Aymeric!

Great cheap transfer from Vancouver to Whistler - So far so good! It was a smooth ride. No issue. The only complaint I have was the bus stopped twice but I don’t know the reasons. Driver did not announce…

Perfect Bus Ride - Skylynx made our trip to Whistler so easy. Booked it in the morning while having breakfast when the weather suddenly turned sunny and my friend and I decided on an impromptu trip to Whistler. The Skylynx bus picks up at a super convenient location in the heart of downtown right next to the burrard skytrain station which is perfect. The ride was smooth, safe, and the views were stunning! The driver was super friendly and we got to Whistler in just little over 2 hours, which is faster than my last time driving there by myself. I don't know how these guys do it but at just $32 dollars a ticket with these gas prices it is an INSANE DEAL! Highly recommend and easily the best bus trip I have taken in my life.

Try Skylynx! - Avid ski enthusiast here residing in BC. Big White and Whistler are my top 2 favorite places to shred powder at. Used to drive a lot, but with crazy gas prices lately, decided to try Skylynx buses for the first time since I always see them on the Sea to Sky Highway. Let me tell you this service did not disappoint and lived up to all the hype. Cheap prices, a ton of departure times that fit your schedule, and the drivers are so on point. The drive was smooth, safe and we got there in just over 2 hours, which is honestly faster than when I drive there myself. I thought the travel time would be longer, but it turns out the bus lanes really skips traffic with the bottle necks in DT and at Lions Gate bridge. Take Skylynx next time you need to go to Whistler and back. I may just never drive to Whistler again if the prices stay this great.

Excellent Bus Trip with Skylynx - Was travelling with some friends to Whistler and the service was excellent. Driver was very friendly and informative even taking the time to do some commentary on the way up to Whistler. Very reliable bus service. My friends and I wanted to tip our driver, but he refused and just asked us to give them a good review, so here it is Jagdeep! Created an account with TripAdvisor just to leave you this 5 star review as promised. Thank you for the great trip and finding my airpods! - Andy & Friends, March 2026

No Brainer - Took this up to Whistler with my partner and it was such a great call. Honestly wish we had known about it sooner! Booking took maybe two minutes online and the price was unreal, especially when you think about what a rental or Uber would have cost us on that drive. Felt like a no brainer. The driver was fantastic, really friendly and made us feel totally at ease on the Sea to Sky. We just grabbed window seats, sat back and soaked up the most incredible mountain views the whole way up. Not having to worry about the road ourselves made it so much more enjoyable and it genuinely felt like the journey was part of the trip. Arrived relaxed, on time, and ready to make the most of Whistler. We are already planning our next trip and Skylynx is a given. Highly recommend this service.

Take this shuttle to Whistler! - Take this shuttle to Whistler! You would be out of your mind to try to drive! We had great, professional drivers who skilfully and smoothly steered through heavy, often stop-and-go traffic for two hours each way. We arrived in the centre of the very walkable village, with no worries about trying to find parking. On the way home our driver was able to switch into bus lanes on the last leg and whiz by kilometres of stalled traffic. Take the shuttle!

An easy transfer - The LYNX bus service was perfect for our transport from the city to Whistler and then to the airport at the end of our week skiing. Everything worked extremely well, ticketing, boarding, on time departure and clean buses.

Won’t use Viator again - I made my booking 48 hours in advance. Viator canceled my booking due to overbooking but only notified me through email which I was not checking because I was on vacation. They initially were communicating through text confirming my booking, so I would’ve expected a text notifying me that they canceled my booking. There was no indication of a problem, so I arrived at my booked time and was left stranded.
