Fly over Helmcken Falls
Your "Discover Whistler"adventure begins at our private airfield in beautiful Clearwater, British Columbia. You will be greeted by our friendly staff, receive your boarding passes followed by an overview of the "trip to Whistler / Pemberton. Then it's pre-flight photos, inflight safety briefing and then boarding our comfortable Cessna for your amazing flight to Whistler.
Upon take off, you will see the town of Clearwater and unique location in the Thompson-Nicola region. In the centre of town is the picturesque Turtle Lake and beach (a great place to go for a dip after your flight). Climbing southward, the North Thompson and Clearwater rivers are below.
Along our trek you will see the magnificent countryside with forests, dotted with lakes and rolling hills.
Whistler is a town north of Vancouver, British Columbia, that's home to Whistler Blackcomb, one of the largest ski resorts in North America. Besides skiing and snowboarding, the area offers snowshoeing, tobogganing and ski jumping at the Olympic Park, a venue for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The hub of Whistler is a compact, chalet-style pedestrian village at the base of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains.
We head eastbound across moose country (yes, guests have seen moose!) you will see "Clearwater Lake" to the North and "Battle Mountain" to the East. When we reach the Myrtle River, we pass between two volcanoes, Gage and McLeod Hill, and bank right around the rarely seen "Horseshoe Falls". Following the "Myrtle River" we cross over the island shaped "Majerus Falls" named after the family of homesteaders that settled in the park (before it was a park).
You fly over "Pyramid Mountain", a pyramid shaped volcano that only erupted 12,000 years ago, in geo time that's like yesterday. Then it's "Dawson Falls" know by its nickname "Little Niagara", followed by the "Mush Bowl" (you have to see it to understand how it got that name). Banking right we orbit over Helmcken Falls which is the 4th tallest waterfall in Canada, you will be captivated (even mesmerized) by the sheer power and volume of water cascading over its ridge into the "Helmcken Canyon".
Heading back to Clearwater you cruise by "Green Mountain" and get a closer look at the unique volcanic features of White Horse Bluff. Take a closer look at Moul Falls, Saber Tooth Canyon, and Spahats Falls as we follow the Clearwater River for an exciting landing at Clearwater Airport. Upon landing we will have quick a closing briefing, checkout some photos and help you with any details to make your stay in Clearwater more lasting. You are welcome to checkout our Gift Shop, have a beverage on our large patio or just sit back and take in the sights and sounds at the airfield.
See and experience the extraordinary magic of Wells Gray Park on a safe, comfortable Wells Gray Air Flight and take home memories to last a lifetime!

Amazing Bird's Eye Views *****
"My girlfriend and I chose Wells Gray Air to get a taste of Wells Gray Provincial Park as part of our West Coast Trip through Alberta and BC. As we were pretty tight on time, this was a great way to see most of this vast park. The views of the mountains, rivers, and water falls from above were phenomenal. Rock was a very competent pilot and took off and landed much more smoothly than some commercial flights that I've been on." Skonkwurks from Canada |
An Awesome Flight!! *****
"We were so glad that we did not do one of those standard flights recommended by our travel agent! The flight with Rock was so personal, no mass tourism on the unique airfield! Hè talked us through all the sights we saw, made us feel safe, and made us feel very at ease from the beginning up until we left. Thank you again Rock for a wonderful experience!! " Judith and Peter from the Netherlands |
We did it too!! *****
