A Great Flight - Well Worth It! - The 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.

Would 100% recommend!!! amazing way to see the mountains from a different perspective

Fantastic tour by an awesome pilot! - Fantastic 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.

Highly Recommend - Kyle (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 - 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
