Amazing Bird's Eye Views!- 5 Stars
"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! - 5 Stars
"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 |
