The helicopter tour was amazing with beautiful views of the Rockies. Ralph the pilot was very friendly, accommodating and shared with us his knowledge of the local area and the geology of the formation. On the ground, Kyle was extremely friendly and nice. He was very patient in helping us find proper gear for the walk in the snow, helping us take pictures and getting on/off the helicopter.

My fianc and I booked Rockies Heli Canada to transport us and our photographer up into the Rockies to conduct an outdoor wedding photoshoot. Ralph was an amazing pilot and worked alongside our photographer to take us to a one of a kind landing area to help us stage the perfect set of mountain peak photos. He went above and beyond to help us with our jackets/belongings as we had to take breaks to jacket up between sessions of outdoor photos while braving the elements at 8200 ft. Rockies Heli offered a very customized experience for flying in the Rockies but ensuring that safety and good practice

AVOID THIS PLACE, THERE IS BETTER OPTION FOR HELI TOUR IN THE BOW VALLEY !! If I could, I'd put 0 star. My girlfriend bought a helicopter tour with snowshoeing as a Christmas present last year and we went in March or April this year. The pilot/owner ruined our first experience in an helicopter. He was opinionated, often mentionning conspiracy theories about covid, the goverment and about other thing during the flight. He made fun of my french accent and when I mentionned I work in the hospitality industry, he asked me if that was because I couldnt get any other job!!!! We stopped for snowshoeing

One of the best experience for everyone of all ages! A must try, Every staff is excellent they will let you feel at home,ull be greeted by Timothy and more staff to accomodate your needs. The 6 glacier tour is magnificent Ralph the best ever pilot who will guide you and show the hidden gems of the rockies, best part too is snowshoeing on top of the mountain with the complimentary hot chocolate and snacks. Will definitely comeback and try more of the winter and summer tours! Love it

First time riding an helicopter and I managed to bring my entire family. Staff was welcoming and warm and we even had the chance to have the chance to be served in french. The tour was breathtaking and our pilot was great at pointing out the sights and he even spoke french as well. We had an amazing time and my dad keep talking about his experience. Definitely a one in a lifetime experience to do and if you are wondering if the 20 minutes ride is worth it, it is !!!!
