      DISAPOINTED WITH BALCKCOMB HELI
      We went on a day that the surrounding peaks were hidden by low-lying clouds. We assumed the flight would be cancelled, but at 845, Blackcomb phoned to say the clouds were lifting, and they would go ahead. By 1030, we took off, and the clouds still had not lifed so we were unable to fly over the peaks of Whistler or fly over the glacier (A MAJOR DISSPOINTMENT) The pilot continually kept on saying sorry that we couldn't see various scenic sights that were in the brochure. I think she was embarrassed that her company would even fly in those conditions. Also that put 4 people on the back seat and the middle 2 couldn't take photos or see out of the window for a clear view. I doubt they got their $300 worth for a 15 minute flight. So if you are considering flying Blackcomb Helicopters do yourself a favour and 1: only book for a day that is sunny or at least doesn't have low lying clouds covering the peaks of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains ans 2: only book if there are less than 5 passengers so you don't get stuck in middle of the back seat.

      Most memorable dream ever!
      The whole adventure was rather surreal and amazing. To one minute be in our hot rusty old van and the next being placed gently in the fragrant high alpine by helicopter beside a gorgeous remote lake takes some getting used to comprehending. We had such a memorable amazing time. The paddle boarding was sooo cool. We paddled between icebergs and around the shoreline of the whole lake. The colours and sounds were primordial, the sun was so healing. We floated transfixed staring at the waterfall at the end of the lake wondering how we got there. “It’s like we’re in a simulation, Dad!”. Well we felt like that the whole day. The picnic was out of this world too. Beyond what we have ever had at a picnic before. Chocolate covered strawberries with pistachio sprinkles, Strawberry cheesecake, Canadian bacon maple doughnuts, charcuterie, sandwiches, the most amazing tomato soup we have ever tasted! We didn’t even get to use the silver tongs provided, we just plowed into it. This must be what Oliver twist felt like when he was rescued from the street urchins. I felt like proposing all over again. Our guide, Brent was amazing. After he magically set everything up and packed everything up at the end, he left us to laugh uncontrollably with joy at everything we were experiencing. In no time after a brief walk on the last of winter’s snow in our flip flops we heard the helicopter coming to take us away. Our pilot was so skilled and fun. He took us over to see the mountain bike trail and the Ipsoot glacier before flying back to base. Our whole adventure was as long as a summer nap and we felt like we just lived the most incredible dream together. Woah.

      Awesome Helicopter tour
      This team from Blackcomb Helicopters absolutely blew it out if the water for the 2 of us. We attempted 2 trips in Alaska during a cruise but weather did not allow this to happen . Alaskan weather is tricky Began with the prompt pick up at our hotel in Whistler to our pre training to boarding to our flight. This team hit an absolute home run!! Such a high lite to our trip north and west trip. Thank you team Blackcomb Helicopters ❤️

      Fantastic Coastal Rockies Flight
      After.a very friendly and professional welcome we were security briefed and took off for a great flight over the lakes, mountains and glaciers. The pilot had a very relaxed and smooth flying style and took us up over Whistler‘s mountaintops to land at a small, remote lake where we heard the marmots whistling (and nothing else). The heli was new and great for taking videos and photos with a lot of plexiglass all around. Great experience, very recommendable. Martin, Germany

      WORST HELICOPTER COMPANY
      We booked our heli elopement well in advance and were looking forward to it. Per my previous discussions with the Company, we were expecting to receive a call a day before the elopement related to the weather conditions in case the weather didn’t look good.. However, we didn’t receive any call. On the day of our elopement, we received a call a couple hours before our flight saying the weather looks good so far but in case anything changes we will call you at 2pm and if we don’t call, it’s expected that we are good for the fight. This was surprising as on the 1st place since we didn’t hear anything from them until a couple hours before the flight instead of the day before.. Later, we didn’t receive any call for them but since I wanted to make sure, I called them at 2.05pm to ask if we are good for the flight. They told us they will call us back if weather is bad in next 5mins as the pilot will be updating in next few mins.. We didn’t hear anything so we left for our flight scheduled at 2.40pm.. When we reached the parking lot at 2.30pm they called us saying the fight is cancelled.. This was very sudden and disappointing given we made all efforts to make sure we are good and we were literally outside ready to board the flight for our elopement.. They did not offer any alternative options such as dates/ times etc even though they knew the booking was for an elopement. We still had a great & beautiful wedding at a different location and made it all work out at the very last minute. The weather was clear and sunny the whole day and days after and we felt like they cancelled on a 10mins notice without any reason or alternative options in terms of timing. We will go for a heli tour on our anniversary next year but definitely NOT with blackcomb helicopters. We DON’T recommend anyone planning any elopement or engagement with blackcomb helicopters since they can ruin your plans any minute even when you have already arrived to fly.

      Beautiful day in Whistler for a helicopter tour and Blackcomb helicopters are certainly no. 1 just had an amazing mountain tour and am very impressed with their professional set up followed through in their employees who were very friendly and knowledgeable. Everything worked seemlessly to make the tour so enjoyable. Weather helped! Would thoroughly recommend. Well done blackcomb Helicopters for making such a wonderful memory.

      A great helicopter wedding.
      My Wife and I had our wedding on the Tantalus Range flying from the Squamish base. Ben was our pilot and was very professional, knowledgeable and welcoming. Neither of us had been in a helicopter before, but we felt at ease due to the professionalism and skill of the pilot, giving us a very smooth ride. We couldn't have hoped for a better experience and would fully recommend Blackcomb Helicopters to anyone thinking of a Heli Wedding.

      Tantalus Ski Touring Heli Drop
      Our guided ski touring day with and A star was amazing. The pilot was really polite, informative and safe and the entire experience dealing with Blackcomb Heli was excellent. The skiing rocked too! We will definitely do that trip again!

      No better way to make a proposal
      No better way to make a proposal. From the start of booking this event to arriving the base to taking off and coming back, the staff was top notch and know how to keep a secret. The trip was book for a landing on a glacier and tour around the area of Whistler. Our pilot( I forgot his name :( ) was nothing but the best. he was professional when he had to be, and super friendly the rest of the time, as well he seems to posses the ability to disappear on cue. when we went out on the glacier to make my make my proposal, he just seemed to have vanished, after she said yes, he appeared out of no where, with a very hardy congrats, and offered to take pictures. He ( again I can not remember his name) is a very skilled pilot and this was evident by the way he handled and landed the helicopter ( very smooth) Amy and the rest of the staff at Blackcomb helicopter should also be commended. there was an issue with a medical call ( 2 actually ) and there was a lot of juggling of aircraft and prepping the units for departure. At no time did I see anyone seem flustered or out of sorts to this " curve ball". you could see that everyone was own task and very professional The view during the tour is something to see for sure. and not to be missed. Can't say enough good things about this operation.

    We love sightseeing by helicopter as it gives you a birds eye view of the scenery. We have had awesome flights over Biagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, and Kakadu, to mention a few.

    Blackcomb Heli charged us $300 for a 15min flight even though the clouds prevented us from flying over the peaks. When we woke in the morning it was overcast and you couldn't see the mountain peaks.. We expected the flight to be cancelled. At 945 Blackcomb advised us that the clouds were lifting and our 1030 flight would go ahead. The flight was a disaster. According to Blackcombs spiel below you see the peaks and glaciers. We'll we didn't as the cloud was too low for the pilot to do so.
    "Go deeper into the mountains behind Whistler Blackcomb to see the peaks and glaciers of the Spearhead and Fitzsimmons Range"
    Furthermore, they cram 4 people in the back seat, making it impossible for the middle to take pictures. They should only have 3 in the back seat. I know they are trying to make money but it was far to cramped in the back seat for the middle 2 people to get their $300 worth. Furthermore with the low lying cloud Blackcomb Helicopters should have cancelled our flight altogether. If you are thinking of flying with Bkackcomb Helicopters then book on a day without low lying clouds that obscure the peaks and also make sure that you are on a flight with no more than 4 passengers so you get your moneys worth. I'm sorry but I can only give Blackcomb Helicopters 1 star out of 5.

    Wedid the BC experience and got to land on a glacier. None of my family had ever been in a helicopter before so this was a bucket list item. It was amazing from lift off to landing and getting to see the mountain landscape and glaciers up close is very cool. Nick our pilot gave us quite the tour with lots of information on the formations, glaciers and geology. Landing on a glacier was a highlight for sure, unfortunately with climate change these glaciers are going to be gone soon. This glacier has lost about 10 feet of ice since last year, rocks that were never exposed are now exposed on the slope. If you have never done anything like this, our family would highly recommend it.

    Amy at Blackcomb was fantastic to deal with. She could not have been nicer or more helpful in sorting things out for us when our travel scheduie got messed up. Overall, a really professional organisation and very good / nice people to deal with. Highly recommended.

    What an amazing tour. We got to see the entire Whistler and Blackcomb area really close by - from above. Our pilot was super nice and told a lot of the mountains we flew over. Amazing landing at the gletcher. Can highly recommend a heli-tour to others.

    To begin, booking a tour was simple. Checking in was a breeze. Staff were very helpful to understand what would make the experience the best! Nick was our pilot and eased everyone’s anxiety. Beverly Lake was a gorgeous spot to have a quick stop for photos. Everything about the experience exceeded our expectations.

    Wow, wow, wow! What an incredible experience. If you have the opportunity to do this, then book it! You won’t regret it! We booked for our daughter’s birthday treat whilst on holiday in Canada and it was the highlight. Our pilot was funny, knowledgable and put us all at ease. Highly recommend for an unforgettable trip

    This trip was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Our Pilot Nick was brilliant, we were very lucky with the weather (amazing views, nice and calm!) and the scenery was beautiful.
    I’m a bit of a glacier-geek, so flying close to one (and seeing the amazing crevasses close up) was absolutely brilliant, and then to top it off with a landing on Rainbow Glacier was just fabulous.

    I booked this trip for a surprise wedding anniversary gift for my husband and we loved the experience. The pilot was really knowledgeable about the area and flew over a glacier which was a highlight for us. Really beautiful scenery. My only slight complaint was that we were not advised we were not able to land on a glacier which was what was advertised when booking. We understood why we couldn’t, but felt like we should have been updated about the change as it was one of the main reasons why we booked the trip and only found out whilst on the tour. Regardless, I would highly recommend booking this experience as it is great fun.

    We're so glad to hear that you had a wonderful experience on the tour and enjoyed the flight. We do sincerely apologize that you were not informed prior to your flight that our glacier landing was not guaranteed. Due to the unseasonably hot temperatures, the glacier has receded drastically and become unstable and unsafe for us to land on very early on in the season, which means we do land at a beautiful alpine lake instead. We are so glad that you still had a wonderful experience and got to witness the beauty of the Whistler backcountry. We hope to welcome you back in the future for another heli experience!

    Phenomenal way to see the are around Whistler. We lucked out with a crystal blue day. Wonderful pilot (extremely knowledgeable and professional and kind), friendly front desk staff and smooth operation. Have done several other helicopter tours and this is not to be missed! Stopping on top of the glacier to get our and take photos and see the view was a highlight.
