Helicopter tour
Wow this is a must to do in Whistler!! Just a fantastic ride in a helicopter over spectacular mountains and glaciers with mind blowing scenery! With only 4 people in the helicopter besides the pilot everyone got a great view of the scenery! Would recommend this company to do this tour!!

Amazing experience!
It was absolutely amazing! I'm glad we timed it on a good weather too. The pilot has lots of experience. We hovered over mountains, lakes and whistler village. I would recommend this adventure for sure. Ty to our pilot Andrew and the lovely staff of Blackcomb Helicopter.

DISAPOINTED WITH BALCKCOMB HELI
We went on a day that the surrounding peaks were hidden by low-lying clouds. We assumed the flight would be cancelled, but at 845, Blackcomb phoned to say the clouds were lifting, and they would go ahead.
By 1030, we took off, and the clouds still had not lifed so we were unable to fly over the peaks of Whistler or fly over the glacier (A MAJOR DISSPOINTMENT)
The pilot continually kept on saying sorry that we couldn't see various scenic sights that were in the brochure. I think she was embarrassed that her company would even fly in those conditions.
Also that put 4 people on the back seat and the middle 2 couldn't take photos or see out of the window for a clear view. I doubt they got their $300 worth for a 15 minute flight.
So if you are considering flying Blackcomb Helicopters do yourself a favour and 1: only book for a day that is sunny or at least doesn't have low lying clouds covering the peaks of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains ans 2: only book if there are less than 5 passengers so you don't get stuck in middle of the back seat.

Awesome Helicopter tour
This team from Blackcomb Helicopters absolutely blew it out if the water for the 2 of us. We attempted 2 trips in Alaska during a cruise but weather did not allow this to happen . Alaskan weather is tricky
Began with the prompt pick up at our hotel in Whistler to our pre training to boarding to our flight. This team hit an absolute home run!! Such a high lite to our trip north and west trip.
Thank you team Blackcomb Helicopters ❤️

Amazing tour
Because of the smoke we were contacted the day begore to see whether we would like to cancel, indicating what we would be able to see. We decided to go ahead and had an amazing tour around the gletsjer with guiding from our pilot. We would recommend this very much!

No. 1
Beautiful day in Whistler for a helicopter tour and Blackcomb helicopters are certainly no. 1 just had an amazing mountain tour and am very impressed with their professional set up followed through in their employees who were very friendly and knowledgeable. Everything worked seemlessly to make the tour so enjoyable. Weather helped! Would thoroughly recommend. Well done blackcomb Helicopters for making such a wonderful memory.
