About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Doug H0 contributionsHeli-proposal!!!Fantastic service from the whole crew. Adam (our pilot) was fantastic. Managed to land and propose despite difficult weather conditions and was thoughtful in giving space and time for the proposal to my now fiancée. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Adam!Written 1 December 2024
- BDude680 contributionsFabulousExcellent experience. Everyone in our party enjoyed it. Friendly, professional and safe. Would highly recommend.Written 23 September 2024
- SybilBell0 contributionsSuperb - highly recommendAbsolutely brilliant. Nick our pilot, was not just a fantastic pilot but superb tour guide. He flew with real care and checked in to make sure we all felt OK throughout the flight. He told us all about the areas we flew over, pointing out places of interest. He was incredibly knowledgeable as well as being pretty funny. He made the trip really exciting and our mountain stop was stunning. Recommend this company extremely highly.Written 21 September 2024
- Simon P0 contributionsBlackcomb Helicopter flight.Great experience, pilot Nick was great and very knowledgeable with regards to the mountains and glaciers. Helicopter was stunning.Written 20 September 2024
- WildlifePics0 contributionsTop of World ExperienceTo 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.Written 3 September 2024
- WindyHillWanderer0 contributionsBLACKCOMB HELICOPTERS FLIGHTS OVER WHISTLER PEAKSWe 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.Written 23 August 2024
- Traveller45280 contributionsHelicopter flightAmazing trip, would definitely recommend! Flying over the mountains and glaciers just gives a different perspective and is a sight to see. We couldn’t land on glacier but by a lovely lake instead which was just as good. Would do again!Written 19 August 2024
- 834claireg0 contributionsWow, wow and wow!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 tripWritten 14 August 2024
- B2258MEmarks0 contributionsBlackcomb Helicopters - v goodAmy 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.Written 6 August 2024
- nikki197620210 contributionsAMAZING!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.Written 29 July 2024
- bansalankit70 contributionsBreathtaking experience. Memories for a lifetimeincredible experience. The vieews and amazing and the glacier landing is someething i would not miss. Highly recommend!Written 6 July 2024
- brendagw20230 contributionsSpectacular Heli TourThis was our favorite tour! The pilot was very skilled making this an exciting experience. We have been in helicopter tours before, but this was the best, absolutely worth every penny!Written 15 June 2024
- Vhairi B0 contributionsBreathtaking!!Best experience with the Best Crew, Had a breathtaking adventure. Absolutely must do in whistler. View from the top of the mountain was spectacular and smooth flight. Great service!!Written 11 April 2024
- davidbI8648ON0 contributionsMost 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.Written 5 February 2024
- Emilie3750 contributionsWonderful experience!Wonderful experience seeing the mountains around Whistler from the air! Our pilot, Nick, was very competent, funny and informative about the area. Landing on the glacier was the cherry on top! 100/100 would recommend.Written 8 October 2023

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 ❤️

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.

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.

Big shout out to Blackcomb Helicopters from Coast Mountain Cannabis in Pemberton. One local company supporting another. Much love.
Gave some of our investors from Europe an incredible experience landing on Mt Currie for a sunset photoshoot.

Absolutely amazing. I would recommend to everyone and anyone. Our pilot - I forget his name. But he is Australian (young) but was amazing. Even the administration staff (she had a young baby girl in the office) was absolutely amazing. It was our honeymoon and we are SO impressed. Thank you for everything.
