10/10 experience! We wanted to experience the mountains and take in the incredible views without having to hike or climb them, and this ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our trip. The scenery was breathtaking, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. David was super knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and made the whole experience even better. He shared so much information along the way while still keeping everything relaxed and enjoyable. You could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. If you’re looking for a fun and memorable way to experience the mountains and see some incredible views, I would 100% recommend this. We’re so glad we decided to do it and would absolutely do it again!

The experience was incredible, with absolutely breathtaking views. The pilot was very professional, friendly, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was truly unforgettable, and I highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience. Really friendly & knowledgeable pilot. Stunning views - Highly recommended
It was perfectly breathtaking. One of the best experiences of my life to date. Thanks Dave (pilot). Everything about the experience was fantastic. Getting that close to the mountains and peaks and glaciers was unforgettable.
This is an absolute must to do! My daughter and I had to reschedule due to back weather and Dylan was so incredibly helpful and kind and rebooked it for later the same day. What a breathtaking way to see the Squamish area and the mountains close up. Dylan was telling us so many interesting facts about the area and we left saying we should have done this twice. You will not be disappointed!
10/10. Although the tour is only 15 minutes, it’s definitely worth it. The views are just so amazing and majestic. Kudos to our pilot- David, he made the tour extra special as he explains everything so well. Such a wonderful host! Thank you!
This was the most incredible experience! I would highly recommend!!! My husband (75) and myself (69) thoroughly enjoyed the up close view of the glaciers! Our pilot was beyond sweet!!!!😍
Amazing Experience. The Pilot was really laid back, knew his stuff and it was a very smooth ride. The views are next level of the mountains the water. A lot of lakes and hidden gems. 10/10 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
Brilliant experience. Dillon our pilot was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Very organized company and would highly recommend this adventure for anyone.
One of the real highlights of our 3 week Canada trip. Our pilot was amazing, informative, relaxed and enthusiastic. Everything was explained safety wise and we felt very comfortable. Would highly recommend
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
Ryan our pilot was fantastic. His knowledge of all the mountains and his flying ability was incredible. I would highly recommend this. We were in the air for one hour and fifteen minutes and I took so many photos. It’s was an ending to an amazing holiday.
10/10 experience. Our pilot was wonderful - so happy & easygoing, he made the experience that much more enjoyable. The views are incredible. A must do if you visit British Columbia!
It was a fabulous day and snow in whistler not good so we had a flight around the mountains and Squamish area. We were luck as we turned up on spec and were off within half an hour. Absolutely fabulous views and Ryan our pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would love to go again further down the Howe Sound.
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.
We had an amazing tour of the local scenery and flew along Howe Sound and up to Sky Pilot. It was an awesome trip. Thanks guys.
We chose the 45 minute tour, and were so glad we did! We took off from Squamish airport, had a lovely scenic flight over the Howe Sound before landing on the water near Gambier Island and Woolridge Island. We floated on the water for a short while before taking back off and heading back to Squamish, taking in the views again on the way. It was a very smooth journey, and our pilot Erik was fantastic. What a great 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.
Thank you guys for such an incredible experience! Our three-year-old can't stop dreaming about flying with you guys next time and wants to be a pilot like Alex. I totally recommend this team to everyone.
View was absolutely stunning, what an absolutely amazing experience . …I would recommend this flight to anyone.
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.
Such an amazing time! A true once in a lifetime experience. Chelsea was our pilot and she was awesome! Highly recommend.
We had a great experience with Alex. He was very knowledgeable of the area and we were able to see some amazing views from above. Would recommend.
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 👏👏
Best experience in Squamish. Well worth adding this to your trip. Flying was great and the views breathtaking.
This was our first scenic flight with Sea to Sky Air, but we are already planning our next one! Overall service was great with friendly, organized staff. Our pilot, Marcel, was fantastic and the scenery was spectacular. Highly recommend this a great Squamish adventure!
Amazing flight, with a knowledgeable pilot! The plane was tiny and taking off and landing were very exciting! Amazing views and such a unique experience!
It was my first flight on a small airplane and it was so much fun! The team was nice and I felt safe. The view was amazing! :)
Loved this tour! Our guide, David, made the experience fun and exciting. Knowledge of the Garibaldi Provincial Park was fantastic. The views were breathtaking. Would go again and highly recommend.
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!
This must be one of the most breath taking experience of my life at this point. We took the glaciers tour and the Rockies are so impressive. I have the impression I have been close to Heaven. Worth every penny of it.
Very good tour of the area near Squamish. Well chosen itinerary with great views of Skypilot Mountain. Skilled pilot with commercial license. Good explanations of safety procedures and sights.
We had an amazing flight over Garibaldi Provincial Park and the surrounding areas. The views of the lake and Black Tusk were outstanding! We highly recommend Sea to Sky Air and our pilot, Erik. We will be back!
Wonderful experience with Dave our pilote! We flew really close to mountain peaks and saw snow, glacier, beautiful lakes and rivers! We recommand!
Beyond impressed with the quality and safety taken during my flight with my two young children. My kids asked a lot of questions and Dave, the pilot was nothing short of patient and amazing.Highly recommend this company for a flight to visit our beautiful surroundings especially the Howe Sound area. I felt like we were in great hands the entire time and would recommend this company to everyone.
An amazing backdrop when your getting on and off the plane and take off and and landings, very cool experience if you like a little bit of a rush and some amazing views! David's a gentlemen and a scholar!
You can't go wrong with the the Intro to Flight Experience! If you've always wanted to dabble in that childhood dream of flying a plane then you need to do this. Our pilot communicated the fundamentals of aviation well, was incredibly funny and made us feel safe the entire time. Within seconds of taking off, I was given the controls and coached through the basics of flying the plane and maintained control throughout the flight until landing. The Squamish valley is a breathtaking backdrop to this already amazing experience.
Absolutely incredible tour over the glaciers and also saw an eagle flying by the plane awesome and David was a great guide
Our pilot Dave was awesome. He made us feel so welcome and comentated so many key sights, lakes, mountains while we flew. Words cannot Express the feeling we felt being so close to the mountains and everything we saw
An amazing way to see the area around Squamish. Our pilot David was awesome, personable, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Highly recommend Sea to Sky Air! Awesome experience.
Friendly and they make you feel comfortable! If you want to experience flying over the beautiful BC mountains, no other place does it best.
What a great experience!! They were right on track with covid protocols and made everyone feel safe. Once up in the air, david did a great job of sharing his knowledge of the area! Such a cool perspective and amazing views! If you’re looking for something to do this summer with travel restricted, definitely hit these guys up for an awesome trip!
Had a wonderful flight on a beautiful day. Thank you so much for showing our international students the Squamish area from the air. It was a great experience for both of them and for me. Smooth flight and lots of local knowledge. I would happily do the tour again in a heart beat. Not just for tourists, if you are local give it a try as well!
Awesome experience! Would recommend to anyone. Our pilot was very accommodating and knowledgable. I can’t think of a better way to see Squamish.
We had a lot of fun flying over Squamish and the view was beautiful. I'll do it again next time friends are visiting
Wow! Amazing flight! An experience not to be missed - flying above Squamish and will never forget how close we got to the glaciers of the Tantalus Mountains and seeing the lakes from above. David was a fantastic pilot and his commentary was excellent. So personable and highly recommend Sea to Sky Air to others.
As a Squamish resident, it was mind-blowing to get to see Howe Sound up close and personal. I was especially interested to see the other side of Gambier Island, and the coastline beyond Squamish. My pilot David was an expert storyteller I loved how he peppered in fun facts along the ride. I'm sure anyone who books this tour will be over the moon all-day after such a unique experience.
After a week of typical coastal BC clouds and rain, the sun shone brightly this morning. I decided it was time to fly. Katy went through our safety check very thoroughly. The other two people on the flight asked to make it a little earlier in the day and that was fine by me. As the single in the group, I was able to sit next to the pilot and get a firsthand view of her skills on the yoke. Smooth as silk flight as we passed over rivers, mountains and glaciers. We flew over the valley between the Girabaldi range to the east and the Tantalus range to the west up to 6500 feet. It was all over too soon!!!
We took an afternoon flight with friends up through the Squamish Valley and around the Tantalus Glacier. The scenery was absolutely amazing and our pilot Katie was great!! I'd recommend both Sea to Sky Air and our pilot Katie to anyone. Great job guys!
