About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- ForceStrong0 contributionsAmazing experience with a great InstructorMy teen son wants to be a pilot so we did the Introduction to Flight Experience. Our instructor Dylan was wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging. He explained everything clearly and was very easy to understand yet still very detailed. The flight and the views were amazing, it really is sea to sky when you go from snow covered glacier to the sea in only a few minutes. Definitely do the longer flight, you won't regret it. We will be back next time we are in the area.Written 27 February 2025
- JoyB4180 contributionsGlacier flight was out of this world!Once in a lifetime experience- my husband and I did the 45 minute glacier tour plus lakes and mountains- spectacular views- great guidance and information from our pilot - amazing experience which really puts the surrounding mountains into perspective! The colours of the lakes up there were also incredible! Do it! You’ll not regret it!!!Written 13 September 2024
- timmoorenz0 contributionsSimply IncredibleI feel privileged to be one of those humans to have this experience. The scenery leaves you speechless, from the spectacular peaks to the abundant glaciers NO words will ever suffice. The pilot was knowledgeable and passionate about the area. As the title suggests, simply incredible.Written 1 September 2024
- Stay530260648840 contributionsA must do for Squamish visitors and locals alike!!!Unbelievable experience! My partner and I had the pleasure of having Captain Dave provide an absolutely amazing experience. We are both long term locals and were excited to soak in the views and gain another insight to our beautiful town. Our expectations were far exceeded by Sea to Sky's personable, educated and thoughtful service. Our trip to Phantom Lake for my partners birthday was such a great experience! All the staff went above and beyond to provide a once in a lifetime experience and can confidently say we will be back! Thanks to all the Sea to Sky staff who made our flight so incredibly enjoyable!Written 25 August 2024
- Anjulie L0 contributionsPhantom Lake - a must visit experienceDave our pilot was amazing! His knowledge of the area was impressive and he answered all our many questions! He was funny and took some great photos of us when we landed at the lake. This trip was so unique - the epic views combined with swimming in an alpine lake with no one around can’t be beat! We packed a picnic and got to enjoy the lake for 40 mins. This adventure needs to be on your list!Written 6 August 2024
- Richard P0 contributionsA Great Flight - Well Worth It!The weather couldn't have been better, and so our flight was particularly great. Our pilot was fantastic, knowledgeable, and very personable. He was also very professional. I appreciated watching him do his pre-flight checks on the aircraft. That was reassuring given the somewhat "fly by night" impression the limited signage, dirt path to their building, and overall impression I got of the building exterior. I needn't have been concerned. Our pilot, though apparently in his 30s, clearly knew his business and his aircraft. We felt very safe. The flight itself was simply gorgeous. We went on June 8th when there was still a lot of snow covering the glaciers. Nevertheless, the views were spectacular and we saw some bits of the glaciers, including many glacial crevasses. Highly recommend.Written 10 June 2024
- Expedition5196650 contributionsWOW!! incredible experienceThis was one of the best experiences I have ever had!!!! Our pilot, Kyle, was incredible. Super knowledgable and was able to explain everything we saw and respond to all our questions. They were really friendly and flexible with our needs given the visibility. Would 100% recommend!!! amazing way to see the mountains from a different perspectiveWritten 3 June 2024
- chrislM1211EE0 contributionsFantastic tour by an awesome pilot!Fantastic tour! Our pilot Dylan was such a pro. He narrated the entire tour, pointed out tons of interesting sights, and gave us lots of advice on how to explore further from the ground. Oh, and the scenery was spell binding. Could not ask for a better experience.Written 15 May 2024
- Stay6118160 contributionsHighly RecommendKyle (our pilot) and the whole experience was amazing. The team was very responsive to our inquiries and the booking experience was very easy. Kyle made our trip unforgettable, will definitely do again if we ever find ourselves in the area again.Written 10 May 2024
- mirandamF8819GU0 contributionsFantastic Flight with Pilot KyleA wonderful experience! The small plane was still comfortable for three people plus a pilot, and had windows for everyone to be able to see the sights and take photographs. Our pilot, Kyle, was fantastic and made a smooth flight for even our most nervous passenger. He explained what we were looking at, and how the airfield at Squamish works. The check in process was smooth, parking readily available. I would 100% recommend this to anyone coming to the area - the Sea to Sky Highway is beautiful, but seeing the area from above is a game changer.Written 6 May 2024
- tink20240 contributionsWonderful lil’ flight adventureWe were in the Squamish area and as we drove past their airport, we saw the sign for Flight tours at a super reasonable cost. We stopped in to check it out, opted for the slightly longer Skypilot Tour and were in the air literally within 15 minutes! David, our pilot was awesome, both in personality and skill. The flight was super smooth and the views were breathtaking - the view as we flew above Skypilot Mountain was iconic! To top it off, the weather was stunning as well. Great lil adventure that I highly recommendWritten 18 March 2024

We had a stunning flight over the Squamish River valley and surrounding mountains and enjoyed the narrative provided by pilot, Jacob. It was everything we'd hoped for and more and was one of the best trips we took during our time in Canada. We found the whole experience seamless - from booking online to our welcome, explanation and safety briefing and flight itself - highly recommend

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

Really good experience, pilot was great and made a nice change to pilots in the UK who are a bit prim and proper. Our pilot could relate to us in our love of mountain biking. It was a relaxed atmosphere and the flight was gorgeous. Our flight ended a few minutes short so maybe a bit longer could have been spent flying, hence the 4 stars, but nonetheless a lovely flight for aviation enthusiasts and for those who just want to embrace the scenery. I also booked on the same day, just a few hours before, so absolutely I recommend this experience.

Marcel was a friendly, knowledgeable pilot who took time to carefully explain the basics in ground and flight school during our 1 hour introduction. The day was brilliant and sunny, perfect for a majestic tour around the mountain tops and glaciers. My teen daughter is keen to learn about aviation and is considering the career path of a commercial pilot. We hoped the day would be inspiring and informative. Did we ever luck out! The moment my daughter climbed into the co-pilot's seat? And actually had the opportunity to take control of the steering way up and around the Chief? Priceless!
Marcel's experience and confidence kept us feeling safe and in control during the flight. He shared just the right amount of technical flight information and balanced that with interesting geographical highlights. We highly recommend Sea to Sky Air. A thrilling and magical experience from beginning to end. Professional and friendly customer service. Worth ever penny and the drive!

What an experience! Being able to see all that amazing scenery from a birds eye view was unmissable. Our pilot was lovely, she made us feel very safe and was informative about the areas we were looking at. The views were sensational and as it was just the two of us it was a lovely personal experience. Can't recommend enough.

My son arranged this for me and his wife for Canadian Mothers Day. Had an amazing time. We managed to get an extra few minutes in the air as there was a cayote on the runway so she couldn't land first time round. My husband who was still in the UK was so jealous that when we're back in August, we've got to do it again 👏👏

Hi there,
I’m thinking of getting my parents a voucher for the Squamish Explorer Flightseeing Tour, but I don’t know when would suit them best.
Is there a way I could get them a voucher without a date? Also, how long do they have to use the voucher?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks,
Sam
