Who Should Book This Activity?
This elevated adventure is ideal for first-time, repeat flyers, and curious sightseers looking to experience the Bella Coola Valley from a whole new perspective. Offering a longer flight and an alpine landing, the 30-Minute Heli Sightseeing Tour delivers a stunning introduction to the region’s dramatic mountain and fjord landscapes.
Lift off from the Bella Coola Airport and soar above glacier-carved peaks, braided river systems, and dense rainforest valleys. With panoramic views of the Bella Coola townsite, alpine ridgelines, and fjords stretching toward the Pacific, every moment in the sky is one to remember.
Midway through the tour, your pilot will touch down at a remote alpine vantage point—perfect for capturing photos, breathing in the crisp mountain air, and taking in the scale of the surrounding landscape.

Safety & Mobility
This extended helicopter tour is well-suited for guests of all ages and moderate fitness levels who want to experience the mountains from a unique, elevated perspective—with the added thrill of landing at a remote alpine location.

The experience includes approximately 30 minutes of combined air time, plus time on the ground to stretch your legs, take photos, and soak in the panoramic views.

While no strenuous activity is required, guests must be comfortable walking on uneven alpine terrain and able to board and exit the helicopter with minimal assistance. Sturdy footwear and layered clothing are recommended for the landing portion of the tour.
