Anna and I (Patrick) took the Whistler Backcountry Air safari on 07/25/22 with Eric.
Not only did he really made us feel safe during the flights by explaining us how it's like to fly etc, but also did he really share his passion about the are we flew over including Garibaldi Provincial Park, it's lakes glaciers and volcanos. Anna and I couldn't stop being in awe due to this amazing adrenaline filling flight and the scenery we got to see (if that makes any sense). This 59 minute experience is worth every Dollar and we will do it again of we happen to come Canada again. So mind blowing to see massive Glaciers. You get a sense on how worthy it is to fight for nature conservation if see the world and it's wonders from above.And if course it's scars on (e.g. all the clear cuts on Crown land).
Eric, you made this flight very special for us and all the best for you and your family!
May we meet again (and then both with grey beards ;)).
All the best,
Patrick and Anna

David was our pilot for this flight. He was timely, professional and very knowledgeable. Everything was relaxed but ran on time. We had a bit of smoke/haze, but the scenery was still jaw-dropping and David added great commentary/answered any questions we had. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see Garibaldi Provincial Park from a unique and incredible perspective.

A beautiful January day with clear skies and no wind allowed us to have an incredible experience. We toured the Tantalus Range and Whistler and Mt Garibaldi Park—we quickly ran out of superlatives to describe what we were seeing. The most boring thing on this flight was us going “Oh wow!” Over and over.

"oh wow" will never be a boring response to be heard when we are flying! Winter flying can provide some of the most extraordinary experiences, it sounds like you had that and then some!

My wife and I received a gift card for this flight, not something we would normally do though. So thankful we took this trip on our wedding anniversary, it was so memorable. Right from arriving we were greeted by our pilot and given instructions for the flight. Felt very welcome and comfortable during this time of Covid. Aside from the incredible scenery our pilots knowledge was second to none of the area and landscape history. We will be back for a different adventure for sure and would absolutely recommend this flight to anyone. Great job by Sea to Sky Air!!!

Wow, thank you so much! First of all, how great is it being given a gift card that prompts you to do something you wouldn't normally do?! We're so happy to hear that you had such a great time, and thank you also for letting us know that our COVID policies made you comfortable for your flight. We can't wait to take you up again.

Was an amazing experience. Marvellous weather. The pilot was fantastic, Chelsea, professional and friendly. I think this is one of the best tour on offer. The view was gorgeous between trees, peaks, snow capped mountain… the best activity during our vacation. Thank you!

What a memorable experience, seeing Black Tusk that close was magical. The pilot was super fun, informative and safe. I gave this as a present to my fiancé and he said it was one of the best experiences of his life.

Glad we could give you both an experience that you won't soon forget! Black Tusk is definitely one of our favourite features in the Sea to Sky region and we're thrilled we could share it with you!

We were blessed with a sunny December morning flight tour out of Squamish. Vicky, our talented pilot, flew us up Paradise Valley and over Garibaldi Lake. We circled around Black Tusk and Garibaldi Peak. We passed over Whistler and the Quest University Canada campus. The experience with my daughter created an unforgettable memory for both of us.
