It was perfectly breathtaking. One of the best experiences of my life to date. Thanks Dave (pilot). Everything about the experience was fantastic. Getting that close to the mountains and peaks and glaciers was unforgettable.
Simply a must to do!

This is an absolute must to do! My daughter and I had to reschedule due to back weather and Dylan was so incredibly helpful and kind and rebooked it for later the same day. What a breathtaking way to see the Squamish area and the mountains close up. Dylan was telling us so many interesting facts about the area and we left saying we should have done this twice. You will not be disappointed!
Fantastic Experience

Dylan was excellent when he found out it was a trial flight for a teen interested in a commercial flying career. He gauged his delivery to perfection and gave him time on the controls having explained the basics. The views were stunning on a fantastic experience

We had a stunning flight over the Squamish River valley and surrounding mountains and enjoyed the narrative provided by pilot, Jacob. It was everything we'd hoped for and more and was one of the best trips we took during our time in Canada. We found the whole experience seamless - from booking online to our welcome, explanation and safety briefing and flight itself - highly recommend
Fantastic!

Ryan our pilot was fantastic. His knowledge of all the mountains and his flying ability was incredible. I would highly recommend this. We were in the air for one hour and fifteen minutes and I took so many photos. It’s was an ending to an amazing holiday.
