Highlights
- Whistler Air - Arrive at Green Lake, just a 5-min drive from downtown Whistler, and board your floatplane for a scenic flightseeing experience.
British Columbia is world-renowned for its awe-inspiring natural beauty, and seeing the region from high above is an ideal way to take in all of the incredible sights. About 15,000 years ago, glaciers comprised this entire area, piled so deeply that only the tops of the highest mountain peaks saw the sun. These glaciers carved the spectacular scenery that exists today.
- Garibaldi Provincial Park - During your flightseeing tour, sit back in your comfortable floatplane and marvel at the incredible landscapes as you fly above massive glaciers, rugged mountain peaks and volcanic formations. Marvel at the lush alpine meadows of the Coast Mountain Range and the turquoise glacial waters of mile-high Garibaldi Lake

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.

Great experience with the family - This was a great experience for the family. The views were stunning!! This was the highlight of my trip to Canada. It got a little bumpy near the mountains and did feel like our stomachs were dropping a bit. I don't recommend for people who experience motion sickness.
