Did the 30 minute Mt. Assiniboine tour. Worth every penny. The ground staff was amazing and friendly. The pilot was great, knowledgeable and explained the names and stories of the mountains, ridges, lakes and glaciers we went over. Just myself and my new wife in our own helicopter. More

Loved the experience! Amazing views, friendly and knowledgable staff! Didn't much care for the group picture, didnt like having strangers in our picture right in front of the helicopter we were about to board. However, they did take a picture after we returned with the helicopter in the background which was ok. More

I have never seen such beauty as the blue green lakes, and the Assiboine Glacier. What a ride. This was the best part of my entire trip. There are so many places in Banff National Park that are unspoiled and that you can't reach by road. These were the areas we saw traveling by Helicopter. I loved it. Take the... More

We were recently lucky enough to do the Mt. Assiniboine tour with Alpine Helicopters. If you get the chance this is a very friendly and professional company to deal with and the flight is wonderful. It is an amazing way to see first hand the most awesome beautiful countryside. Many thanks!! More

"Can you trust them with your life"........... You betcha!! Professional, confident, friendly experts. Am I associated with this company?? Only in the way of enjoying their recent service.

We've been wanted to take a helicopter tour for a long time but there's always a minimum of 3 passengers. When we learned that Alpine Helitours in Canmore had a two person minimum we jumped onboard! After a quick and scenic drive from Banff, and a short safety video, we were up in the air and headed on the Mount... More

We had debated about taking this helicopter tour for some time and decided that we had to at least try it once. We are certainly glad we did! The Alpine Helicopters tours are located within Canmore, on the Bow Valley Trail, which is wonderful as you do not have to spend any extra time driving out of town to get... More

I got the check out their Spray Lakes tour over the weekend and I have to say it was such a great experience. The tour is 12 minutes long, but the experience of being up close and person with the 3 Sisters Peaks in a Helicopter was truly amazing. The 12 minutes sure feels much longer than 12 minutes when...
