Amazing trip

Fantastic experience to see the mountains around Whistler from the air. You get to experience them in a whole different way. Spectacular.

Best Adventure Ever

We were told what to expect , had a quick safety training and off we went. The views were spectacular. Our pilot was great. We saw all the views and much more, learned a lot during the trip and felt safe all the way. A must do experience. Worth all the money for a lifetime of memories.

Exciting Tour, Awesome Pilot, Accommodating Staff!

The views from the helicopter tour were amazing! Our pilot, Edwin, was very informative about the area, and he made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. Our initially scheduled time was hindered by the weather… the cloud layers kept dropping and heavy rain was in the forecast. Edwin advised that we should try to reschedule as it wouldn’t be worth it to fly low level, so we were able to reschedule for the next day. If weather is ever the issue, you will have the option to reschedule or get a refund, no problem! They are very accommodating!! This was our first ever helicopter ride, and we couldn’t be happier about the entire experience. We highly recommend!

Formidable

Excellent tour of the area with a laid back and informative pilot. Includes glaciers, mountain lakes and ski slopes. Black Tusk, Garibaldi and Wedge Mountain are just some of nature's majesty you will feast your eyes upon.

Excellent ride

I had an amazing experience. The 15 minutes seems a lot longer than it actually is. I would recommend this tour.

Definitely To Do in Whistler. Do not leave without a flight

Definitely the most wonderful thing to do in Whistler. Pilot and team are amazing. Great local knowledge and are genuinely caring about you have a great time The views of the glaciers you can get from a helicopter 🚁 beat hands down the views from a fix wing I have already recommended this company to other tourists we have met. If you make it to Whistler definitely add a flight with No Limits to really appreciate the area you are travelling in and the grandeur of the country

Once-in-a-lifetime experience

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.

Whistler From Above

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.

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted that you chose to make a helicopter adventure part of your time in Whistler—and even happier to hear it was such a memorable addition to your day. There really is no better way to appreciate the scale and beauty of the mountains and glaciers than from above, and it sounds like you both made the most of every minute (and every photo opportunity!). Thank you for flying with No Limits Heli Adventure. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure someday!

Highlight of our Whistler trip!

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!

Operator response

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re delighted that Kathleen, Dave and Carlos helped make your experience so memorable, from accommodating the schedule change to sharing their knowledge of the mountains. Knowing your heli-tour was the highlight of your trip means so much to our team. We would love to welcome you aboard again!
