About Us
At Westcoast Sightseeing, we curate the best tours and attractions available in Vancouver, Victoria, and Whistler — all in one convenient spot.
Our Story
People have many reasons to go exploring. Some explore to learn or make new friends. Others use exploration to connect with specific places or satisfy their curiosity about the world. Ultimately, though, all exploration is rooted in one very human desire: to make something unknown known. By exploring, we shine a light on unfamiliar people, places, and things.
At Westcoast Sightseeing, we actively cultivate the need for exploration in our home region. As explorers ourselves, we are always on the lookout for new stories to share and interesting landmarks to peruse. That’s why we are absolutely delighted when guests want to experience the best of Vancouver, Victoria, and Whistler. Tourism gives us the chance to play host and create exceptional experiences that inspire, move, and transform visitors from all over the world. Join us on our journey of exploration!

Giving Back To Our Community
United Way - Social Purpose Innovator
Canadian Cancer Society
We are the Official Motor Coach Gold Sponsor for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops For Cancer Tour de Valley. Cops for Cancer is an annual event that takes place each fall when over a hundred law-enforcement and emergency services personnel from across the province brave all types of weather to complete a 2-week cycle across Vancouver Island, Northern British Columbia, the coast, and Fraser Valley.
Donations made to the Canadian Cancer Society through Cops for Cancer are used to fund life-saving research and support programs aimed at reducing cancer’s impact.
Giving Back To Our Environment
At Westcoast Sightseeing we are acutely aware of the influence our daily operations wield upon our natural surroundings. While the path to a sustainable future is undoubtedly long and demanding, we are resolute in navigating it. Our goal is to aggressively curtail greenhouse gas emissions and minimize our ecological footprint.
Strategic Programs
We have been awarded Green Tourism Bronze and are actively working towards earning B Corp Certification. These significant accomplishments reflect our commitment to engaging in responsible business practices and sustainable tourism. Through rigorous assessments and initiatives, we aim to meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. These certifications underscore our overarching goal of having a positive impact on society and the environment. We align our actions with our values.
Fleet
Westcoast Sightseeing stands by our pledge to transition to a 100% clean-energy fleet. We have embarked on a transformative journey that began with the adoption of two electric vehicles into our fleet. Recognizing the broader impact a green approach to tourism can have, we collaborate closely with the City of Vancouver to establish a robust charging infrastructure. This update not only benefits our operations, but also provides the opportunity for other forward-thinking companies to shrink their carbon footprint.
Eco-Conscious Options
Put the vehicle aside for a moment and enjoy some fresh sea air on a self-guided audio walking tour. Included free of charge for our Hop-On, Hop-Off guests is a downloadable app that include two self-guided audio walking tours featuring downtown Vancouver and Stanley Park.
