Highlights
  • Whistler Air - Arrive at Green Lake, just a 5-min drive from downtown Whistler, and board your floatplane for a scenic flightseeing experience.

British Columbia is world-renowned for its awe-inspiring natural beauty, and seeing the region from high above is an ideal way to take in all of the incredible sights. About 15,000 years ago, glaciers comprised this entire area, piled so deeply that only the tops of the highest mountain peaks saw the sun. These glaciers carved the spectacular scenery that exists today.

  • Garibaldi Provincial Park - During your flightseeing tour, sit back in your comfortable floatplane and marvel at the incredible landscapes as you fly above massive glaciers, rugged mountain peaks and volcanic formations. Marvel at the lush alpine meadows of the Coast Mountain Range and the turquoise glacial waters of mile-high Garibaldi Lake

A rollercoaster with amazing views - Great tour, great views. The staff was friendly and the booking without any problems. The pilot was nice and brought us very close to the glacier and some other points. I did not expect the tour to be as exciting as it was. It might be a bit of a challenge for people with a nervous belly and motion sickness. It’s not cheap but so is everything in and around Whistler. For this experience the money is well spent.

Great experience with the family - This was a great experience for the family. The views were stunning!! This was the highlight of my trip to Canada. It got a little bumpy near the mountains and did feel like our stomachs were dropping a bit. I don't recommend for people who experience motion sickness.
