Glacier Air

Colette was an exceptional, friendly, experienced pilot and very knowledgeable of the mountains and surrounding regions. The views were breathtaking and felt like we got a glimpse of Heaven.

Collette was a fantastic pilot and we throughly enjoyed the Tantalus tour!We were treated with patience and care and did not feel rushed in the slightest way!She was very knowledgeable and gave us excellent descriptions of the area.Cannot wait to fly with Glacier Air again!

A very good experience with this company. I met four of their pilots and I was impressed about their joy when flying tourists. It felt like they were not some tired employees doing a job, they appeared to have fun while making the aircraft passengers have fun. I spent few hours there on a sunny Saturday, in the quiet Squamish, so it was a good day flying and relaxing. If you are interested in acrobatic flying above the Tantalus ridge or near Garibaldi peak or maybe you want to fly above the Howe Sound or see the great Shannon falls from above, get out of the busy Vancouver and book a flight with Glacier Air.

I randomly dropped by to visit this school recently. The staff were very inviting, answered my questions and offered advice regarding training as well as a quick tour. Just as I was about to leave, someone else canceled a booking, so I offered to take it and go for an impromptu lesson in mountain flying.It was absolutely amazing and very good learning! After a brief discussion regarding my experience, the instructor had me do all the flying and most of the radio calls. He was very friendly and professional.I highly recommend flying here if you get the chance and would like to improve your skills at a challenging airstrip. I plan to return in the future to attend at the very least the mountain flying course they offer.

Went up for the Garibaldi scenic tour and it was unbelievable! One of the best experiences I’ve had in BC. The company takes all the necessay precautions in making the experience both safe and fun.Our pilot Colette was very informative on the area we were flying through and made the experience very comfortable. For the price we paid it was well worth it!The staff were great, and you can see everyone there loves what they do.Many thanks! PA, Juan, and Edi

It was such a great experience with Glacier Air. The staff was tremendously helpful and accommodating with the weather for our tour in the valley and up the glacier. I got to ask my girlfriend to marry me flying around Ring Mountain's peak and it truly was the perfect moment for both of us. The view up there is just incredible and a must do for everyone who wants to experience the mountains from up above.Love. Vince

The mountains are big, impressive, jaw dropping, but without an experienced guide, who has over 1000 hours of flying these mountains, who can take you places that are not accessible except by air, to show you glaciers and deep valleys and glacier lakes and waterfalls and evergreen forests or ever white Mountain peaks, you will only see a small percentage of Squamish and Pemberton here in Canada, and still, it will make an impact on your life adventure.Hire Glacier Air pilots to maximize your life experience; maybe your other life, if there is one, won't be on this Heaven.

This was a fantastic birthday present from my partner! Colette took us on a lovely tour, and adjusted the flight plan to see what I was hoping to see. It was absolutely breath-taking and fun. She gave us some history/geology lessons about the areas and pointed out great backpacking trips. She also took the time to take some pics and send them to us afterwards. It was a great time and I would recommend to anyone! Thanks Colette!

Amazing people , great planes , amazing places to visit and see ..... And fantastic flying school !!! Owner Colette is such a pleasure to work with !!!

What an amazing experience! I was gifted the 45 minute Garibaldi flight for my birthday and it was awe inspiring!We originally planned it for a few weeks ago, but the weather wasn't cooperating so we were rebooked. On arrival we were told it would be bumpy, and if we wanted to rebook again it would be no problem. We have experienced turbulence and did the tour anyways.Our first take off had to be aborted, because we weren't getting proper lift off in time. They had warned us it would be bumpy so this wasn't a huge surprise, but it got the adrenaline pumping! Second time around we took off without a hitch.The flight was incredible. The views were stupendous. Colette was a personable and interesting guide, and we enjoyed learning about the area from her. We flew up the Mamquam valley, over Elfin lakes, behind Garibaldi Mnt, over Garibaldi lake, past Brohm ridge and then over the Chief and Squamish city. The landing was incredibly soft, which was a pleasant surprise! By the end I was dazzled by the extraordinary views, and before I left their office I was already researching other scenic tours we could take with them. I will definitely be back for the 60 minute ice field tour in the future.The one disenchanting part of the experience was that we had arrived and checked in early, and no other customers were around, but we weren't collected for our flight until about 20 minutes after our booked time. Next time we won't feel so pressured to rush through hwy traffic to arrive early.Regardless of this one hiccup, we still felt we had a 5 star experience and couldn't believe how affordable this tour was compared to other operators. Flying in a private plane felt SO boujee and special. Thank you Glacier Air for an unforgettable bday adventure!
