Shannon Falls Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Shannon Falls in 2026?

It’s free to enter Shannon Falls Provincial Park, but many travelers opt to visit the natural wonder as part of a guided tour from Vancouver. Full-day tours from Vancouver start at US$80 and tend to include Whistler and the Sea to Sky Highway. Alternatively, you can go it alone with a self-guided audio tour from US$7.

Q: How long is the walk to Shannon Falls?

It’s a short and easy walk to Shannon Falls, taking about 10 minutes from the car park. Follow the scenic forest trail to the Shannon Falls viewpoint, where you’ll have a great view from the base of the 1,099-foot (335-meter) waterfall, or climb the stairs up to a second viewpoint.

Q: When is the best time to visit Shannon Falls?

Shannon Falls Provincial Park is open daily year-round with seasonal opening hours; it’s open 24/7 from mid-October through mid-March, and from 7am at all other times, with closing times varying by season. Late spring through early fall offer the best weather for hiking and picnicking, but the falls—fed by snowmelt from the surrounding mountains—are usually most powerful in spring.

Q: How do I get to Shannon Falls from Vancouver?

The easiest way to reach Shannon Falls is by car, and it’s about a 50-minute drive from downtown Vancouver. The Shannon Falls Parking Lot is located just off British Columbia’s famous Sea-to-Sky Highway (Highway 99), so plan some extra time to admire the views and take photos along the way.

Q: Is Shannon Falls accessible?

Yes, Shannon Falls is one of the region’s most accessible waterfalls, located along a compact gravel trail that is easily accessible for wheelchairs and those with limited mobility. There are four wheelchair-accessible parking spaces in the main car park, accessible picnic areas, and pit toilets at the falls viewpoint.

Why just get a ride to Whistler (or Whistler to Vancouver) when you can make the journey the highlight of your trip? This is a private, guided adventure along BC's iconic Sea to Sky Highway, one of the most scenic drives in the world. Unlike a standard shuttle, you'll have a local guide (me) showing you the best of this incredible corridor, from thundering waterfalls and old-growth forests to coastal viewpoints and hidden local gems. I have highlighted stops we will visit, but your trip is fully customizable. Want to see something specific or go off the beaten path? We'll make it happen. All main stops are on short, accessible trails just minutes from the highway, with options for more adventurous hikes if your group is up for it. The tour typically runs 3–4 hours, but I'm not watching the clock, if we're having a great time, we keep going. This isn't a packed bus with a fixed schedule. It's your trip, your pace. A round-trip option starting and ending in Vancouver is also available.

Ryan, our guide was fab. The end of October is a weird shoulder season so Whistler was largely closed for maintenance before winter, but the trip was still enjoyable. Thanks Ryan for all your suggestions as to how to make our time in BC fun.

Beautiful Country Outside of Vancouver City, Rains a Lot!

Our guide Charles was very accommodating, pleasant and knowledgeable about the area. He picked us up at the cruise terminal and dropped us off at the airport at the tour’s end. It was a pleasure to have him lead the tour. The country outside of Vancouver city leading to Whistler is beautiful and worth seeing. Bring rain gear as it rains most days. The finer restaurants aren’t open for lunch, but there are other choices, mainly sandwiches and salads.

Fun day trip to Whistler from Vancouver with King Charles (driver)

Our driver (self named "King Charles") was a pleasant host to our day roundtrip from Vancouver to Whistler. We were lucky to only have 4 guests in a van touring that slightly rainy day. Charles provided us with historical information on the areas we visited. He kept us entertained which made the 10 hour drive more enjoyable. We drove through Stanley Park stopping at a quant Horseshoe Bay Park to see the ferry station, lovely park and donut shop with washrooms. Next stop was Shannon Falls Park where quick walk to view the fall for photo ops (Charles takes photos of you). Then on to Whistler where Charles drove us through the entire city layout so you can become familiar with the surroundings to decide your 4 hours of free time. Plenty of restaurants, breweries, bars and shops for any interest. We found good sales at shops at end of the season (middle Sept.). After Whistler we stopped for a rest break on the return trip at Porteau Cove Park. Charles returned us to the hotel drop off site but said he could also drop us off directly at our hotel a few blocks from the drop off. Great service and worth the trip out of Vancouver to see nature and beautiful Whistler. Highly recommend this tour and request Charles as your driver. NOTES: Check weather to bring rain gear/umbrella if needed. Hats and Sunscreen is suggested on sunny days.

Know before you go

While Shannon Falls Trail is generally safe and well-maintained, stay away from the creek boulders and the base of the falls.
There’s a picnic area near the trailhead.
The Sea to Sky Gondola is a short distance from the Shannon Falls parking area, so it’s convenient to combine the two destinations into a single stop.
