    Unbeatable experience!
    The was an amazing experience and we would highly recommend it! Our pilot, Dave, was outstanding. He walked us through the mechanics and features of the plane to us in a fun, detailed, and very educational, hands-on approach. We were well prepared and quite excited before we boarded and took off. The views are remarkable but the best part was that we were part of it all. The pilot let my son navigate the plane under unimposing supervision with a lot of coaching and encouragement. We toured north and south, we did a picturesque and super duper close spin over lake Lovely Water. We saw and experienced a lot. Dave head a lot of humour and a lot to point to us in the air which was greatly appreciated. Everything exeedeed our expectations and we plan to do it again. Thank you Sea to Sjky Air!!

    Scenic flight with Sea to Sky Air
    We had a wonderful scenic flight with Sea to Sky Air! Not only was the pilot very safe and professional, he was kind with our 11 yo son who has dreams of becoming a pilot. Plus, the views up in the air were incredible!

    Different perspective
    Living in Squamish I have only got to see the views from hikes I did. The flight allowed a completed different perspective. My wife loved the flying lesson and the teacher was excellent. Everyone was very friendly and informative.

    Garibaldi safari tour
    We chose the Garibaldi tour. Very special experience. The views 8500ft were magical, the flight spotless. Ryan was a fantastic pilot and guide. Definitely the highlight of our holiday. What more could ask for?

    If this is something you think you might like, then definitely book it. The whole experience was fantastic - the crew, the scenery, everything. A great tour for visitors and locals to appreciate the natural beauty of this small corner of the world.

    And now even the sky is not the limit for us!
    I presented the flight experience to my husband for his birthday as he had been dreaming of trying himself in a pilot seat for a while. So I bought two vouchers, one pilot and one passenger, to accompany him and serve as a video operator to catch the exciting moments :) We were expecting this would be a thrilling adventure, and it was! We had a great instructor David who walked us through the basics of piloting first and then guided my hubby during the flight. David is a very knowledgeable pilot, and he's just so fun to be around! The plane was tiny and looked a bit fragile at first, but when we took off, it wasn't scary at all! I took tons of stunning pics!!! It's really worth trying!

    What a day!
    A hunting guide and a mineral prospector wanted to overfly the country west of Squamish. S2S was contacted with a flight plan and chartered for the outing. On arrival, we were impressed with the FBO and the aircraft's condition. Our pilot was completely into getting us over what we wanted to observe ...he flew a perfect mission...his piloting skills were impressive and he ensured we got the pictures of what we wanted. We will absolutely use them again. We were smiling all the way home.

    What a blast!
    It goes without saying that Squamish has some beautiful scenery, but there is nothing quite like the view from above. I had a great time learning about the planes and I felt safe and relaxed throughout the whole experience. Great way to scope out some hiking spots!

    Perfect Engagement
    Everything was perfect for our wedding engagement at Phantom Lake!! David made booking easy and the pictures that Ian took were amazing. Thank you for an unforgettable experience and for making this day extra special for us. PS Extra big thank you for being so flexible with the timing due to the accident delays on the sea to sky highway.

    Flight of a Life Time
    The only real word for this experience is: breathtaking. It’s an unexplainable view! We did the Squamish Explorer. A completely different aspect of BC, we learnt about the area and got to bask in its beauty, too. Our pilot was friendly and super knowledgeable, honestly he made our experience that much more amazing. Booking was a breeze. We definitely will be coming back, probably every time we’re in BC.

This was a wonderful experience and an incredible way to see the local area. The weather that day was absolutely perfect; clear skies, no smoke. The pilot was very knowledgeable of the local geography and he "greased" the landing on our return. I would highly recommend taking a flight.

Seeing the landscape from above gives you a better outlook on the surrounding area. We are glad they made the landing as smooth as possible, as that is what we are going for! Thank you for flying with us.

A beautiful January day with clear skies and no wind allowed us to have an incredible experience. We toured the Tantalus Range and Whistler and Mt Garibaldi Park—we quickly ran out of superlatives to describe what we were seeing. The most boring thing on this flight was us going “Oh wow!” Over and over.

"oh wow" will never be a boring response to be heard when we are flying! Winter flying can provide some of the most extraordinary experiences, it sounds like you had that and then some!

My wife and I received a gift card for this flight, not something we would normally do though. So thankful we took this trip on our wedding anniversary, it was so memorable. Right from arriving we were greeted by our pilot and given instructions for the flight. Felt very welcome and comfortable during this time of Covid. Aside from the incredible scenery our pilots knowledge was second to none of the area and landscape history. We will be back for a different adventure for sure and would absolutely recommend this flight to anyone. Great job by Sea to Sky Air!!!

Wow, thank you so much! First of all, how great is it being given a gift card that prompts you to do something you wouldn't normally do?! We're so happy to hear that you had such a great time, and thank you also for letting us know that our COVID policies made you comfortable for your flight. We can't wait to take you up again.

Was an amazing experience. Marvellous weather. The pilot was fantastic, Chelsea, professional and friendly. I think this is one of the best tour on offer. The view was gorgeous between trees, peaks, snow capped mountain… the best activity during our vacation. Thank you!

One of the best experiences I have had - I needed encouragement from my son to make this flight - our pilot Dylan was so good at putting me at ease & once we were in the air the spectacular scenery took my breathe away - loved all the information shared by our pilot - the hour passed & I wanted more - make sure you do one of there flights 😊

What a memorable experience, seeing Black Tusk that close was magical. The pilot was super fun, informative and safe. I gave this as a present to my fiancé and he said it was one of the best experiences of his life.

Glad we could give you both an experience that you won't soon forget! Black Tusk is definitely one of our favourite features in the Sea to Sky region and we're thrilled we could share it with you!

We were blessed with a sunny December morning flight tour out of Squamish. Vicky, our talented pilot, flew us up Paradise Valley and over Garibaldi Lake. We circled around Black Tusk and Garibaldi Peak. We passed over Whistler and the Quest University Canada campus. The experience with my daughter created an unforgettable memory for both of us.
