A Great Way to See the Local Geography - This 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 - One 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! - I 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!

Best tour ever! - Was 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!

Jaw dropping experience! - Anna and I (Patrick) took the Whistler Backcountry Air safari on 07/25/22 with Eric. Not only did he really made us feel safe during the flights by explaining us how it's like to fly etc, but also did he really share his passion about the are we flew over including Garibaldi Provincial Park, it's lakes glaciers and volcanos. Anna and I couldn't stop being in awe due to this amazing adrenaline filling flight and the scenery we got to see (if that makes any sense). This 59 minute experience is worth every Dollar and we will do it again of we happen to come Canada again. So mind blowing to see massive Glaciers. You get a sense on how worthy it is to fight for nature conservation if see the world and it's wonders from above.And if course it's scars on (e.g. all the clear cuts on Crown land). Eric, you made this flight very special for us and all the best for you and your family! May we meet again (and then both with grey beards ;)). All the best, Patrick and Anna

Bucket list experience. Just do it! - What a beautiful flight we had! The absolute best way to see the mountains for what they are worth! Beautiful blue skies and lakes! Eric was our guide and he gave us great pertinent info. Loved every second of it. Great little plane to fly in. I would put this on your bucket list!

Back country flight - What a memorable experience, seeing Black Tusk that close was magical. The pilot was super fun, informative and safe. I gave this as a present to my fiancé and he said it was one of the best experiences of his life.

Great experience - A beautiful January day with clear skies and no wind allowed us to have an incredible experience. We toured the Tantalus Range and Whistler and Mt Garibaldi Park—we quickly ran out of superlatives to describe what we were seeing. The most boring thing on this flight was us going “Oh wow!” Over and over.

All-around amazing tour! - David was our pilot for this flight. He was timely, professional and very knowledgeable. Everything was relaxed but ran on time. We had a bit of smoke/haze, but the scenery was still jaw-dropping and David added great commentary/answered any questions we had. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see Garibaldi Provincial Park from a unique and incredible perspective.
