What an awesome experience! I highly recommend this for anyone. My husband, son and I totally enjoyed this tour. Our pilot Jeff was great and gave us an epic ride with history of the glaciers, geography of our location and an overall excellent adventure. I liked seeing the skiers and the snow mobiles on the ski runs beneath us. Will do again sometime in the future.

In the middle of a 4-day, rain shower-flled trip to Kingston, the day of the helicopter tour was clear with unlimited visibility in the middle of the Autumn, leaf-turning season. This added a memorable element to what would have been an interesting tour of the Thousand Islands region. With coloured trees in all directions, the shades of green and blue water with an endless blue sky left us breathless. With a friendly, safety-conscious pilot, and charming hostess at the office, the day is etched forever in our minds. My poor old digital camera worked overtime as I felt that I just HAD to take dozens of extra photos to make sure I captured the setting. I should have known that Mother Nature had already taken care of that.

My husband and I splurged and took the luxury cruise to Victoria and we were treated like royalty! The service, food and drinks were amazing. We spent a fun 6 hours in Victoria on our own and then flew back to Vancouver in a sea plane. I thought I would be scared, but the flight was really cool and the landing was like we landed on a marshmallow. I would highly recommend this company.

What an incredible experience!!! My girlfriend had mentioned wanting to do the glacier tour as a bucket list idea for a while, so naturally it was a perfect setting to propose to her. Hannah was our pilot and I can't praise her enough for going above and beyond to make an incredible experience that much better! The tour itself is worth every penny and we're already planning on doing it again in the future! Thanks 49 North!!
