Whistler Helicopter Tour: Glaciers and Black Tusk
About this tour
Take to the skies and experience Whistler like never before. Glide above the vibrant village buzz of skiers or mountain bikers on Whistler-Blackcomb, with breathtaking views of the iconic Peak to Peak Gondola stretching between the peaks. From there, continue into the heart of Garibaldi Provincial Park, where raw alpine beauty awaits. Witness the towering Cheakamus Glacier up close, with its stunning blue crevasses and jagged ice formations. Soar past the surreal turquoise waters of Garibaldi Lake, and catch a glimpse of the legendary Black Tusk — a dramatic volcanic pinnacle rising out of the wilderness.

Helicopter tours in Whistler, British Columbia
Whistler's glaciers, alpine lakes, and peaks like Black Tusk are best appreciated from above, adding a different perspective to a resort town most visitors otherwise experience from the valley floor.
When's the best time to fly?
June to September is when Whistler's alpine lakes and glaciers are most accessible for a landing tour, with the most reliable flying weather. Tours run year round, and a flight outside those months trades landings for dramatic snow-capped views of the Coast Mountains.
What should I bring?
Warm layers even in summer, since temperatures at altitude and on a glacier landing are noticeably cooler than in the village.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Whistler 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.
