Squamish’s Best Midweek Air Tour

New this year, experience one of the best scenic flights in Squamish with our exclusive midweek Glacier Express. Perfect for groups of up to three, this 30-minute private scenic flight showcases the spectacular landscapes of the Sea to Sky Corridor. Every flight is completely private, so you’ll share the aircraft only with your group.

For just $489 per private plane (up to three passengers), you’ll soar above the stunning Squamish Valley and deep into the Coast Mountains, discovering ancient glaciers, alpine lakes, winding rivers, dramatic valleys, lush wetlands and the world-famous Howe Sound fjord. Fly alongside the glaciers of Tantalus Provincial Park, marvel at the turquoise waters of Lake Lovely Water, and on clear days enjoy views stretching as far south as Gambier Island.

The price is $489 per aircraft, whether you fly with two or three passengers, making it an incredible value at just $163 per person when flying with three.

The Glacier Express combines the highlights of our most popular Squamish air tours into one unforgettable adventure. Venture into remote wilderness that few people ever see, where grizzly bears, mountain goats, bald eagles and adventurous mountaineers roam. Along the way, you’ll discover towering glaciers, jagged mountain peaks, hidden waterfalls, pristine alpine lakes and some of British Columbia’s most breathtaking backcountry.

What Is a Pilot Guide?

Every Sea to Sky Air scenic flight is led by an experienced local pilot who is passionate about sharing the stories behind the landscapes below. Our pilots know Squamish, Whistler, Vancouver, and the Sea to Sky Corridor inside and out, bringing the region’s geology, history and wildlife to life throughout your flight.

Each seat is equipped with a two-way aviation headset, allowing you to hear your pilot clearly, ask questions, and enjoy a truly interactive experience. Think of it as exploring British Columbia with a knowledgeable local friend—one who just happens to have the best office view in the province.

What if the weather changes and we can’t fly?

If we get to the day of your flight and the weather doesn’t let us fly, no problem. We’ll reschedule your flight to another day and time that works for you, all year round.

Simple, easy and stress-free. 

From the Flight

Flying over Lake Lovely Water

Lake Lovely Water

The emerald jewel of the Tantalus Range, Lake Lovely Water sits in a large rocky basin called a cirque. Shimmering glacial meltwater started pooling here at the end of the last ice age creating the incredible oasis we see today. The lake’s distinctive colour is created as light refracts through microscopic pieces of rock called glacial flour. The mountains surrounding Lake Lovely Water are made mostly of igneous granite rock, formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Tantalus Provincial Park

The landscape you see has been shaped over millennia by moving continents, rising and falling mountains, vast volcanic eruptions, and continental ice sheets have all played a role in shaping the jagged ridgeline of the Tantalus Range. Peaks like Mount Tantalus, Alpha, and Omega have retained their jagged appearance because they were tall enough to poke out of the ice sheet as the glaciers retreated.
