Itinerary

  1. Whistler Air

    Passing by

    Begin your journey just minutes from downtown Whistler at picturesque Green Lake, where your floatplane awaits. From the moment you step aboard, this flightseeing tour is tailored to offer a deeply personal and awe-inspiring experience of British Columbia’s breathtaking wilderness.

    Soaring above the Coast Mountains, you’ll witness the raw beauty of a landscape shaped by time. Over 15,000 years ago, colossal glaciers blanketed this region, sculpting the dramatic valleys and peaks you see today. Viewing it from the sky offers a rare and meaningful connection to the area's natural history—an unforgettable perspective that goes beyond the ordinary.

  2. Garibaldi Park

    Passing by

    As you relax in the comfort of your floatplane, prepare for a visual journey above some of BC’s most iconic features. You'll fly over sprawling glaciers, dramatic volcanic formations, and alpine meadows bursting with seasonal color. The striking turquoise waters of Garibaldi Lake, cradled high in the mountains, are a highlight that few get to see from this vantage point—an experience that feels both intimate and exhilarating.

  3. Black Tusk Trail

    Passing by

    No flight over this region is complete without a glimpse of the legendary Black Tusk—a uniquely shaped volcanic pinnacle and a beloved landmark. Whether it’s your first time seeing it or your tenth, there’s something about Black Tusk that sparks wonder. Travelers often find themselves instinctively calling it out when it comes into view—a shared moment of joy and recognition that connects you with others and the land in a meaningful way.
