There is no better way to experience the Canadian Rocky Mountains than to fly above them. Thank you to our pilot David for sharing his passion for flying and knowledge of the area.
On our guided tour from Vancouver to Whistler we took advantage of the 2 ½hour stop in Whistler to book this helicopter flight and what a good decision it was. We grabbed a taxi from Whistler Village Centre (a good idea to take the taxis number to come and collect you afterwards) for the 15 minute drive. We got to the hanger and were talked through basic safety regs and shown where we were going, it was then time to board the copter and take the 20 or so minute flight. It was a great experience, I was fortunate to be in copilot seat so got to see how it all worked and the wife was in the back snapping away. Up and over the small glaciers and mountain tops with some great views. The cost for the two of us was around £230, not cheap bit a great experience thats was thoroughly enjoyed by us both.
My friend and I had an incredible experience with No Limits Heli Adventures. Kathleen was fabulous in making special accommodations for us when the company was forced to move our flight time, and we were given an even better experience than expected. Dave was great with regard to our safety briefing as well as providing interesting facts about the sites we would be seeing during our flight. Carlos was the best pilot we could have asked for. Our ride was incredibly smooth, and we were fascinated with how close to the glaciers we were able to get. He not only provided details about our flight path, pointing out all areas of interest, but he went so far as to give fabulous recommendations for sites to check out after our tour- we did them all and they did not disappoint! Our heli-tour was the biggest highlight of our trip! I highly recommend No Limits Heli Adventures! I would fly with them again in a heartbeat!
