Amazing experience
10/10 experience! We wanted to experience the mountains and take in the incredible views without having to hike or climb them, and this ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our trip. The scenery was breathtaking, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.
David was super knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and made the whole experience even better. He shared so much information along the way while still keeping everything relaxed and enjoyable. You could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does.
If you’re looking for a fun and memorable way to experience the mountains and see some incredible views, I would 100% recommend this. We’re so glad we decided to do it and would absolutely do it again!

Simply a must to do!
This is an absolute must to do! My daughter and I had to reschedule due to back weather and Dylan was so incredibly helpful and kind and rebooked it for later the same day. What a breathtaking way to see the Squamish area and the mountains close up. Dylan was telling us so many interesting facts about the area and we left saying we should have done this twice. You will not be disappointed!
Operator response
We're glad to hear Dylan was knowledgeable and kind. Thank you for being patient while we waited for a nicer day. It was very thoughtful of you to write this review, and we hope to take you flying again soon.

Awesome trial flight
Dylan was excellent when he found out it was a trial flight for a teen interested in a commercial flying career.
He gauged his delivery to perfection and gave him time on the controls having explained the basics. The views were stunning on a fantastic experience
