People often ask
Vancouver is 410 km (255 miles) from Sun Peaks, about 4.5 hours by road via Kamloops, the Coquihalla Highway and Hope. Allow extra time in winter and on Sunday afternoons, when westboung traffic into the Lower Mainland is heaviest.
Ridebiooker transfers from Sun Peaks to downtown Vancouver are private, with door to door service. If you'd prefer a bus or shuttle, Ridebooker does offer a service from Sun Peaks to Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Intercity coaches also run from Kamloops to Vancouver, but you'd need a separate ride down from Sun Peaks first (which Ridebooker also offers).
For groups, a van or mini bus booked through Ridebooker is usually the best value. Larger vehicles also have room for skis, boards, bikes and golf clubs.
About travelling from Sun Peaks Resort, BC to Vancouver, BC
Vancouver is 410 km (255 miles) from Sun Peaks Resort, about 4.5 hours by road down Sun Peaks Road to Kamloops, over the Coquihalla Highway to Hope, then west on Highway 1 into the city.
While Kamloops Airport (YKA) and Kelowna Airport (YLW) are both closer to the resort, some visitors take the opportunity to spend a few days exploring Vancouver as part of their trip before flying home from YVR, taking advantage of British Columbia’s largest and best connected airport. A flight from Kamloops Airport to Vancouver takes about an hour (plus an hour to get from Sun Peaks to Kamloops Airport). For those looking to avoid navigating multiple airports, a direct, door to door transfer can be booked with Ridebooker.
The Coquihalla can be demanding in winter, and westbound traffic through the Fraser Valley is often heavy on Sunday afternoons and during holidays. Booking with Ridebooker means a professional driver who knows the route handles it, at a fixed price agreed before you travel.
Ridebooker offers a range of vehicles to suit all group sizes from solo travellers to larger families and groups bringing extra luggage in the form of skis, snowboards, bikes or golf clubs. Choose from a taxi, sedan, SUV, charter van or mini bus depending on which option best suits your passenger and luggage requirements.
