What a day! The flight and staff complimented each other perfectly, and I couldn't help but smile for weeks after. This definitely is something everyone needs to experience! British Columbia is such a little gem in and of itself, but when you get up in the air and see the world below, you can't help but feel truly blessed. Initially... More

“Oh man, this is the ultimate way to see Canada! Fly with Glacier Air!”

Reviewed 15 November 2011

person found this review helpful

My wife and 2 grand daughters recently had a vacation in the Vancouver/Whistler Canada area. We were a little disappointed in that the gondalas had quit running between seasons so we took a 4 wheeler trip up the mountain which was OK but then I saw an ad for helicopter rides to the top of the glaciers. That peaked my... More

We toured the surrounding glaciers and the Howe Sound. Amazing! What a great way to see just how beautiful Squamish really is...and the best part was that we were able to take the family on an adventure that will be remembered for a long time to come without breaking the bank!

“Exceeded expectations”

Reviewed 30 July 2011

Friendly staff. The 30 minute flight over glaciers provided some fantastic sights but it was the pilot giving me partial control over the flight controls which made this such a memorable event. The take off and landing were the hi-lights but the pictures of me and my girlfriend in the plane were priceless. I highly recommend Glacier Air if you... More
