Helicopter tours in Vancouver, British Columbia
Vancouver's setting between the Coast Mountains and the Pacific makes it one of the few cities where a short downtown flight and a longer backcountry trip into glacier country both depart from the same heliport.
When's the best time to fly?
June to September brings Vancouver's driest, clearest skies and the most reliable flying weather. The rest of the year is rainier and cloudier, which can lead to more weather-related delays.
What should I bring?
A light waterproof layer outside of summer, since coastal weather can turn quickly even on an otherwise clear day.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Vancouver have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
