What To Expect
Canadian Rockies
Leaving the valley and flying up entry creek you will soar over Cline Pass at 10,000 ft (3048m) to view the expansive panoramic view of the Rocky Mountains. Reducing our altitude we will fly you into the Coup de grace of the tour – The 6 Glaciers. Cline Glacier White Goat Glacier Lion Glacier Lioness Glacier Resolute Glacier Hanging Glacier From the glaciers, you are off to Michelle Lakes. The Twin lakes is divided by a 50 ft (15m) waterfall which homes the beautiful Golden Trout. Michelle lakes is at an elevation of 7,545 ft (2299m). The lake then leads to a 900 ft (275m) waterfall that plunges into Waterfalls Creek. Following Waterfalls Creek back to the Cline River Valley we will fly by the White Goat Provincial Park. Looking to the east tucked up one of the valleys is a mountain that is an oxidized orange mountain due to the ferric iron content. Starting our long descent to the heliport you will view the beautiful vista of the glacial blue water of Abraham Lake.

5.00Great experience! The staff were all really friendly and the pilot was knowledgeable, offering insights and facts as we flew over the area. We booked the 20 minute flight and it didn’t feel rushed at all. Highly recommend!

5.00What a neat experience. A 20 minute flight over the Rockies, landing on a riverbed for a walk to a hidden away waterfall. Thor, our pilot, was an excellent guide and gave us a smooth and spectacular ride. The tour included lunch. If you are a dog lover, you will be greeted by Hollie, who only wants her belly rubbed. Friendly and knowledgable folks. It was our first helicopter tour; it won't be our last
Must do!

5.00The staff at the Heli Centre are excellent! Very friendly and helpful. Our guide, Owen was knowledgeable and made us feel at ease (for 2 of us it was our first time in a helicopter). Incredible scenery! Glaciers, lakes, oaks and valleys! Would do again in a heartbeat.
A fantastic 5 Star experience

5.00From beginning to end this was an amazing experience. First, we were picked up at our hotel on time and driven to the Heliport by Marie. We were given our safety briefing which was comprehensive and we then waited a few minutes as the pilot (Victoria) finished some very comprehensive pre flight checks of the aircraft. That was great to see. When it was ready to go we were strapped in safely and Victoria very professionally did the most important thing first - fly the aircraft. Once we were safely in the air Victoria introduced herself and gave us a wonderful tour for 55 minutes all over the Columbia ice fields and many other fantastic sights and gave us a very interesting commentary. It was all breathtaking. It was a once in a lifetime experience we will never forget. Well done to all.
Good 30 min helicopter ride over the 6 glaciers of Jasper national park

5.00Great tour over the 6 glaciers. Our pilot gave some great information about the region and fun facts like the 8 year old who climbed one of the mountains post which the mountain was given his name. There was some cloud on the day due to which we could not properly see all 6 glaciers, but the 30 min plane ride was still a lot of fun.
An unforgettable experience!
