Sea to Sky Gondola Tickets & Prices

The Sea to Sky Gondola is one of the best-value mountain experiences in the Sea to Sky corridor — a single admission ticket covers the round-trip ride and unlimited time at the summit. Here’s what to expect on price in 2026, what’s included, and where the savings are.

How much is a Sea to Sky Gondola ticket?

A standard adult admission starts from around $56 (the lowest published online rate at the time of writing; prices are set in Canadian dollars at the booth and vary by season). That covers the round-trip gondola ride plus full access to the summit — the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge, the viewing platforms, and the interpretive trails.

Typical ticket tiers:

• Adult — the standard rate.
• Youth / Child — reduced rates; very young children often ride free.
• Senior — a small discount on the adult rate.
• Family pass — bundles two adults and two or more children for less than buying separately.

Because rates shift with the season — summer is the peak, late autumn and spring the cheapest — always confirm the live price for your date when you book.

What’s included in the price

Your admission ticket is genuinely all-in for the summit:

• Round-trip gondola ride (up and down)
• The Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge (about 100 m across)
• The Spirit Viewing Platform and other cliff-edge lookouts
• The Panorama and Spirit interpretive walking trails
• Access to longer hiking routes from the summit

What’s not included: food and drink at the Summit Lodge, parking add-ons in peak periods, and any guided add-on experiences.

Ways to save

• Book online in advance. The online rate is usually the best available and comes with free cancellation up to 24 hours before — useful insurance against coastal weather.
• Visit in shoulder season. Late spring and late autumn are quieter and cheaper than midsummer.
• Go up later in the day in summer for thinner crowds (and sometimes lower-demand pricing windows).
• Bring a picnic. The summit has plenty of seating with a view, so you don’t have to budget for the lodge restaurant.
• Combine free sights. Shannon Falls, at the base, is free and a five-minute walk — pair it with your gondola ride at no extra cost.

Is it worth the price?

With a 4.8 / 5 rating from hundreds of verified guests, most visitors feel the ticket delivers. For roughly the price of a cinema-and-dinner night out you get a 10-minute ride from near sea level to a ridge 885 metres (about 2,900 ft) above Howe Sound, a suspension bridge, and as long as you like at the top. If you have a car, the admission ticket is the most flexible option; if you’re coming from Vancouver without one, see our getting-there guide for day-trip tours that bundle transport and the ticket.
