As someone who's terrified of heights, there comes a time that you just have to do it , you only live once ! , and the pilot Kyle was absolutely the best . I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone . It was for me and it left a lasting impression. It's more mental they anything else . And once your up there, there's something very special that happens , but you have to choose, take that chance ! .
It was a great experience and really worth every penny. Besides, the team of Heli is really very friendly does a good job. I felt like I was with old friends and not like I was with a company I was with for the very first time. Highly recommended.
This was an incredible experience! The pilot, Kyle, was very professional and made you feel comfortable, while giving great information. The scenery was stunning throughout the helicopter ride.
I flew discovery tours here with both Roger and Kyle. Both excellent pilots, very knowledgeable and friendly professionals. I am a bit of a helicopter nut and they were both really awesome to talk to. Both the R44 and AS350 helicopters they use are very safe machines that they obviously take pride in. If you travel to British Columbia and want the most scenic view of this absolutely beautiful part of the country, you cannot go wrong with Sky Helicopters 🚁 All of the staff are friendly and accommodating. Happy flying! 🏔️
This was a once in a life time experience. We flew out of Pitt Meadows into Coquitlam and below was the deep forest with beautiful untouched lakes. Our pilot Kyle was amazing & super nice! He had vast knowledge about the landscape, and made the experience really memorable. Overall this was two thumbs up! I highly recommend Sky Helicopters!
Such a surreal experience! The customer service was amazing as soon as we walked through the door. The staff were welcoming and made us feel so comfortable. Our pilot was experienced and reassured any/all worries we had (which we did have, as it was our first helicopter ride!) The flight was absolutely unreal- such a beautiful tour and learned a lot of very cool facts around the area from the pilot during our flight. 10/10 recommend, we will be coming back! :)
I took my friend on the 20 minute discovery flight as a birthday present. Our pilot Roger gave us a wonderful experience tailored for our desires with a great urban tour and some stellar tree top views by the lake We flew in the R44. It was so clean and well cared for. Having flown in many helicopters it stood out to me about the quality of this company. Will definitely consider the back country tour in the near future
HI roberrtsL2260PG, Thank you for your kind words regarding your Heli-Tour with SKY, Roger is a rock star for us and I have already showed him this review! He along with our entire team take great pride in our aircraft, we love to have our A-Star's and R44's glistening in the sun! We are blessed to have the backcountry so close and literally right in our backyard, population zero! We can not wait to fly you further into the backcountry next time! Thank you, Kevin
I had an amazing experience here, lizzy is cool enough to receive us and gave a tour of the whole hanger and some interesting info on the helicopters and Steve is an amazing and friendly captain with 45 year's of experience flying, he was kind enough to answer all the questions we had. Overall my experience here was awesome, great business with an amazing staff, I'll definitely visit again
