What people are saying about British Columbia

The trip was in total a perfect hit! The flight was really well done and our captain reacted to the weather conditions on the day the flight took place and it was just perfect. Best thing if you combine both activities (flight and suspension bridge) :)

Our guide was really friendly and attentive, and we saw four pods of whales! Which is apparently very rare. An amazing day.

It was worth it. I went with friends and they enjoyed it too.

Amazing tour, amazing views amazing guides … amazing fun !

Family of 4. Loved the experience! Highly recommended
