The 4 Best Helicopter Tours in Whistler

1.Mountains and Glaciers Tour by Seaplane

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 162 reviews · 30 min · from $190Our pick

Take off from Harbour Air’s Green Lake terminal for a 30-minute flight over Whistler Village, Garibaldi Lake, alpine lakes, glaciers, and the Black Tusk. Pilots such as Paul and Greg have been praised for safe, friendly service. Bring government ID, arrive 40 minutes early, and expect weather to shape the views.

“It was our first time taking a seaplane and we were very excited! The experience completely delivered; you get to see the nature (mountains, glacier lakes, Whistler) in a completely different way. Truly an experience I will never forget. The staff was very friendly and the activity started on time. The flight was a bit bumpy due to wind and turbulence but that is an external factor the organization can’t influence. Just keep this in mind if you get motion sickness easily.”
