5.00One of the most beautiful experience I ever done! We were a bit overweight so we flight just ourselves and the pilot! Was a sunny day, marvellous view, fantastic pilot very professional (young blond girl I don’t remember the name sorry). I will recommend and I will do again thousand of times! I filmed the all flight with a GoPro TOP!
A Great Flight - Well Worth It!

5.00The weather couldn't have been better, and so our flight was particularly great. Our pilot was fantastic, knowledgeable, and very personable. He was also very professional. I appreciated watching him do his pre-flight checks on the aircraft. That was reassuring given the somewhat "fly by night" impression the limited signage, dirt path to their building, and overall impression I got of the building exterior. I needn't have been concerned. Our pilot, though apparently in his 30s, clearly knew his business and his aircraft. We felt very safe. The flight itself was simply gorgeous. We went on June 8th when there was still a lot of snow covering the glaciers. Nevertheless, the views were spectacular and we saw some bits of the glaciers, including many glacial crevasses. Highly recommend.
WOW!! incredible experience

5.00This was one of the best experiences I have ever had!!!! Our pilot, Kyle, was incredible. Super knowledgable and was able to explain everything we saw and respond to all our questions. They were really friendly and flexible with our needs given the visibility. Would 100% recommend!!! amazing way to see the mountains from a different perspective

5.00Fantastic tour! Our pilot Dylan was such a pro. He narrated the entire tour, pointed out tons of interesting sights, and gave us lots of advice on how to explore further from the ground. Oh, and the scenery was spell binding. Could not ask for a better experience.

5.00Kyle (our pilot) and the whole experience was amazing. The team was very responsive to our inquiries and the booking experience was very easy. Kyle made our trip unforgettable, will definitely do again if we ever find ourselves in the area again.
A Great Way to See the Local Geography

5.00This was a wonderful experience and an incredible way to see the local area. The weather that day was absolutely perfect; clear skies, no smoke. The pilot was very knowledgeable of the local geography and he "greased" the landing on our return. I would highly recommend taking a flight.
Spectacular flight over one of the most beautiful places

5.00One of the best experiences I have had - I needed encouragement from my son to make this flight - our pilot Dylan was so good at putting me at ease & once we were in the air the spectacular scenery took my breathe away - loved all the information shared by our pilot - the hour passed & I wanted more - make sure you do one of there flights 😊
Unforgettable experience!

5.00I took my parents (who were visiting form another country) to the tour that takes you over glaciers and Garibaldi Lake yesterday and it was incredible! I had hiked before a few times and saw the lake, but the view you get from the plane is incomparable. Since the moment I called to ask 100 questions, the service was outstanding. Ryan was our pilot and he was amazing, so kind, knowledgeable, and really made my dad, who is very scared of heights, feel safe. Such a great experience, I’ll definitely be back for more!
Fascinating!

5.00Was an amazing experience. Marvellous weather. The pilot was fantastic, Chelsea, professional and friendly. I think this is one of the best tour on offer. The view was gorgeous between trees, peaks, snow capped mountain… the best activity during our vacation. Thank you!
