The whole experience is designed around your comfort and ease, making it well-suited for families, groups, or solo travelers who prefer a straightforward, stress-free transfer.

For travelers arriving at Kelowna’s airport or nearby accommodations, this shuttle offers a cost-effective, convenient option without sacrificing comfort.
The Itinerary: What to Expect on Your Ride

Your experience begins with a clear communication from your driver, usually via a message before your departure day. This ensures that you’re aware of where to meet and what to look for, which is especially helpful if you’re unfamiliar with the area.
Once you meet your driver—who will be waiting at a designated spot, either at Kelowna Airport or another agreed-upon location—you’ll notice the friendly, well-marked vehicle ready for your group. Your driver will help with your bags and gear, making sure everything is stowed securely.
The one-hour shopping stop is typically scheduled along the route. Your driver will take you to a nearby grocery store or similar spot where you can purchase essentials, snacks, or beverages. This is particularly valuable if you’re arriving after a long trip or want to avoid last-minute rushes once you get to SilverStar.
After shopping, your driver will load your items into the shuttle and continue the drive up the mountain. Expect spectacular views of the snow-capped peaks and lush scenery—an instant reminder of what makes SilverStar a winter paradise. The ride ends with a drop-off directly at your accommodation’s door, saving you from lugging your gear across parking lots or through busy streets.
Throughout the journey, bottled water is provided to keep you refreshed—and the overall experience is one of personalized care, making what could be a mundane transfer feel more like part of your holiday adventure.
The Value of a Private, Door-to-Door Shuttle

When you compare this service to other options—public transit, shared shuttles, or rental cars—the personalized approach shines. You won’t be stuck waiting for multiple stops or sharing the ride with strangers, which is especially appealing during peak ski season when timing and comfort matter.
The cost of $330.92 might seem high at first glance, but remember that it covers exclusive use of a private vehicle, up to 14 people, and convenient features like the shopping stop and direct drop-off. For larger groups or families, splitting the cost makes it quite reasonable, especially considering the time saved and stress avoided.
Travelers have noted that the vehicles are well-marked and easy to identify, which simplifies the check-in process. Plus, the friendly staff’s willingness to help with bags and answer questions adds a layer of comfort many appreciate. The free cancellation policy provides peace of mind in case your plans change unexpectedly.
