The Sea To Sky’s mountainous region was formed during the last ice age. A time when active volcanoes erupted into the vast icefields that once dominated the landscape. On the Whistler Backcountry Air Safari you will fly deep into Garibaldi Provincial Park, to the boundary layer between ancient glacial flows and volcanism. It’s here where mountains were forged, among fire and ice, as far back as 230 million years ago. This is our most popular experience and our guest’s top choice for the best Whistler backcountry attractions.
Photographers, hikers, walkers, and geologists will be equally amazed as we fly shoulder to shoulder with iconic landmarks including Garibaldi Lake and Black Tusk. Do not forget your camera!
Sightseeing by plane is one of the most extraordinary things to do in Whistler. Your flight will take off from the Squamish Airport and fly deep into the Whistler backcountry. This tour is an ideal way to kick off your trip to Whistler.
Our pilots are passionate about British Columbia, Squamish, Whistler and the Sea To Sky Corridor. They’re a wealth of knowledge and are full of information about the awesome things you’ll see. Chat with your pilot via your personal two-way headset or simply sit back and enjoy the view.
Make it Private for only $70 – purchase 2 full-price seats and get the option to buy the 3rd seat at a reduced rate to reserve the aircraft exclusively for you.
