- Whistler Air - Arrive at Green Lake, just a 5-minute drive from downtown Whistler, and embark on a floatplane for a breathtaking flightseeing adventure.
British Columbia is globally celebrated for its stunning natural beauty, and viewing the region from above is a perfect way to appreciate all the remarkable sights. Approximately 15,000 years ago, glaciers covered this entire area, so deep that only the highest mountain peaks were exposed to sunlight. These glaciers sculpted the magnificent landscapes seen today.
- Garibaldi Provincial Park - During your flightseeing tour, relax in your comfortable floatplane and admire the stunning landscapes as you soar over vast glaciers, rugged mountain peaks, and volcanic formations. Be amazed by the lush alpine meadows of the Coast Mountain Range and the turquoise glacial waters of the mile-high Garibaldi Lake.
- Black Tusk Trail - One of the most recognizable mountains in BC is the Black Tusk. Visible from various vantage points in Whistler and the Garibaldi region, it is frequently mentioned and almost always identified when seen in any form; people can’t resist exclaiming “Black Tusk!” when they spot it in pictures or from a distance.

AWE INSPIRING BEAUTY SEAPLANE RIDE - This was AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL AND AWESOME ! The drive alone from Vancouver to Whistler was just so amazing, The changing of the leaves, the splendor of nature, pictures cannot do it justice. The seaplane flight was fantastic, the crew and pilot were great. The views awe inspiring. This is a must do adventure if you can go.

Incredible scenery - This was the best adventure scenic tour I have taken in N America! It was stunningly beautiful! We flew by incredible glaciers and lakes that otherwise could not have been seen except for on tv. But this was right out our windows! Fantastic!

Simply Stunning - First time on a float plane and it was very smooth - a little bumpy in places but much better than expected. The views were amazing - the colors of the lakes, the snow capped mountains, flying over the Peak to Peak gondola and much more.

Magical! - Absolutely magical experience, highly recommend! Definitely need to be fine with some turbulence (which I am) but you get really close to the glaciers and there is constantly something to look at. Pics could never do it justice.

Whole new vantage - Bought this to surprise my wife. She was wowed from start to finish and found the views consistently jaw dropping. The fly by black tusk was especially memorable but the whole thing provides a new vantage on the beauty of Whistler and area.

Please avoid this company for the whistler scenic tours! - Absolute waste of money!! Please avoid at all costs!
Let me get the positives in first:
1. Easy to book online.
2. Flight’s take of and landing was smooth.
3. Scenery is very beautiful.
What makes it so bad?
Absolute zero commentary from the pilot. Not a word on the flight. Not even a summary of what landmarks this trip will cover. The pilot pretty much is flying this plane to make up his flight hours. The scenery is quite beautiful, but you have no idea what you are flying over, which lake are you looking at, which mountain you are flying over. There are so many sea plane/ regular plane companies that do a damn good job keeping their guests informed. I have flown planes in multiple places but never felt this bored on a flight!
After landing, I checked with the pilot and asked him about the lack of communication. He just ddnt seem bothered. As said above, he only wanted to complete his hours. He directly told me to leave a negative review online. Just following instructions here!!
Please don’t waste your money with this company.
