Discovery Tour
Our 45-minute Discovery Tour climbs into the glaciers of Strathcona Park. Weather permitting we may fly over the highest waterfall in Canada, Della Falls. As we descend to the coast of Clayoquot Sound, the scenery is absolutely spectacular - miles of beaches and craggy remote islands are framed by the coast's impenetrable rainforest. As well as the 'you ain't seen the West Coast til you see it from the sky' landscape, Tofino is world renowned as a whale watching destination. Our scenic flights may afford you the opportunity to spot whales, but sea lions, seals, bears, eagles and other seabirds in their natural habitat. Although our pilots do their best, wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed. The cost of the Discovery Tour, weather dependent starts at $468 (tax included) for 2 persons.
Coastal Tour
Our 20-minute coastal tour is perhaps the most popular. The focus of the tour is the coast of Clayoquot Sound in all its beauty and wildlife possibility. Tours start at $79 per person (tax included) with a minimum of 3 persons. Times vary throughout the day.
Hot Springs Cove Tour
28 miles or 42 kilometers west of Tofino on the Openit Peninsula is one of British Columbia's sulphurous hot springs. A self-guided walk through old growth forest leads you to the springs. There is a change room, modest shelter and an outhouse but the springs themselves have not been altered from nature's configuration. Allow a minimum of 4 hours or you may wish to overnight at the Innchanter B&B, the Hesquiaht Lodge or the springs camp ground. Scheduled and charter service available.
Sunshine Coast Skies Tour
Fly over the amazing Sunshine Coast to get your full appreciation of this hidden jewel. A half-hour scenic tour takes you from Sechelt up to the Skookumchuck Narrows, around Nelson and Hardy Islands, past Pender Harbour, Secret Cove, Halfmoon Bay and back to Sechelt. Tours from $312 (1-3 passengers) to $789 (7-9 passengers), taxes included are available. Give Sechelt a call1!
