On this most magical Squamish scenic flight you will see Mother Nature from a whole new perspective. One of destructive, raw beauty that will leave you spellbound.

It will show you the force that is responsible for carving and sculpting valleys in a way that no other element of nature could.
Our pilots are passionate about British Columbia, Squamish, Whistler, Vancouver and the Sea To Sky Corridor. They love sharing what they know about the region’s legendary geology and history so we outfitted every seat with a two-way headset and microphone. Think of us like your best friend taking you on a road trip to all their favourite places. Listen to your pilot tell stories as you fly, ask questions about features and landmarks, or simply sit back and enjoy the view.
All flights seat up to four people (three guests and one pilot).
Book a flight for two people and you have the option to buy the third seat at a reduced rate to reserve the aircraft exclusively for you. This is one of our most popular options. Perfect if you’re buying the Prehistoric Glaciers & Peaks scenic flight as a gift for a birthday or special occasion.
Also known as the Pemberton Icecap, this icon of the coast mountains is a huge jigsaw puzzle of interconnected glaciers. The largest temperate latitude icefields in the world at 300 km2 (120 sq mi) the Pemberton Icefield is so vast that it is thought to create its own weather patterns. This vast tundra is also the starting point of the Squamish River.
Perched on the edge of a giant granite cliff, Hanging Glacier is an awe-inspiring sight from the sky. A long time ago the glacier filled the valley below. But now, as the glacier melts it has receded up the cliff face to its current precarious position and icefalls send car-sized debris tumbling onto the valley below.
Flying in small planes is an intimate experience. You can feel the air and clouds floating by, hear the gasps of surprise and excitement from your friends or the splashing of water on the floats. It’s the creation of, and presence in, these small moments that deepens connections between each other and nature. You never have to worry about picking a good seat ahead of time. No matter where you are in our planes you're guaranteed to have a first-class experience.
