Revel in adrenaline-inducing heights and postcard-worthy views with our heli-hiking and heli-sightseeing package add-ons. Gain a bird's-eye view of Canada's third highest waterfall, plus glaciers, towering peaks, granite cliffs, alpine meadows, fields of colourful wildflowers and more.
The following options are heli-sightseeing tours. This is where you take a helicopter ride to see hard-to-reach, yet beautiful, places. They are are perfect for all ages and require minimal fitness/mobility. If you are interested in being more active and would like for the helicopter to land and to go for a hike with a knowledgeable guide, see our heli-hiking options.
A Taste of Heli-Sightseeing - Take a short helicopter flight, soaring over glaciers, icefields and spectacular rock cliffs with great views of Mt Saugstad & stunning views of the Bella Coola Valley. Includes a landing at 6700ft! Includes approximately 18 minutes of flying time.
The Mountains & Glaciers of the Great Bear Rainforest - A similar tour to A Taste of Heli-Sightseeing but more than twice as long! Witness tumbling glaciers composed of blue ice! Includes a landing at a glacial lake with incredible views. Includes approximately 42 minutes of flying time.
Highlights of the Great Bear Rainforest - Soar past the spectacularly coloured Rainbow Range before flying over the thundering Hunlen Falls (3rd highest in Canada). From the falls fly past lakes and glaciers. It may be possible to see small icebergs floating in the lakes! Fly past Tweedsmuir Park Lodge to Mt Stupendous and, if conditions are right and the helicopter load permits, a landing can be made at 9,000’. The views are amazing. Includes approximately 72 minutes of flying time.
The Grand Tour: The Best of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Region - On this tour experience the Great Bear Rainforest, the cowboy country of the Cariboo topped off with a lunch on the Pacific Ocean! Fly over alpine meadows, huge icefields and the spectacularly coloured Rainbow Range. Then soar over Hunlen Falls, the 3rd highest waterfall in Canada! And to complete the tour, zoom through the largest fjord system in North America and enjoy a picnic lunch on a remote beach*! Includes approximately 120 minutes of flying time.
* Beach landing is dependant on tide levels. If the tides are out, a landing is possible!
