This tour covers over 180 square kilometers, and travels 6,500ft above sea level. Fly among the iconic Squamish cliffs and peaks of Tantalus, Alpha, Ossa and Omega mountains. On the Squamish Explorer you’ll get a little bit of everything from our other tours all rolled into one. Alpine lakes, jagged peaks, secret waterfalls, and rumbling glaciers are just a few of the unforgettable sights that will leave your jaw on the floor…and just wait until you see Lake Lovely Water.

Our pilots are passionate about British Columbia, Squamish, and the Sea To Sky Corridor. They’re a wealth of knowledge and are full of information about the awesome things you’ll see. Chat with your pilot via your personal two-way headset or simply sit back and enjoy the view.
