Report
I went out today with Alex from Custom Heli for an hour flight looking for polar bears. It was breathtaking. The scenery is stunning. We stopped counting how many bears we saw. Do no miss this opportunity if… you come to Churchill, even if you are not interested in polar bears, the scenery is spectacular. Well worth every cent.

Report
I began working at Custom Helicopters in January 2016 and can honestly say that in my 25+ years in the business, this is one of the best companies I've ever worked for. And I didn't think that would have been possible! Keep an eye on us. We're going places!
