Sea to Sky Air

Sea to Sky Air is a scenic flight company in British Columbia, Canada. It flies small planes over Squamish, Whistler and the Coast Mountains. The company has guided scenic tours in the Sea to Sky Corridor since 2003. It calls itself a small company with a big goal.

The flights show volcanic parks, deep fjords, glacial peaks and the Pacific coast. Guests can see giant icefields and glaciers that shaped the Squamish and Whistler area over 10,000 years. The company says each tour shows the place where oceans and mountains meet. The company says the land around Squamish and Whistler shapes its culture as a business and as people. It describes a mix of volcanoes, glaciers, oceans, mountains and cityscapes in one trip.

Several tours are listed. The Whistler Backcountry Air Safari flies over Garibaldi Provincial Park near Whistler. Another tour goes deep into the Tantalus range, where Rumbling Glacier and Lake Lovely Water lie. A Glacier Express flight runs on mid-week days at a special rate. An Introduction to Flight Experience teaches the basics of aviation and aircraft control.

That introduction course is taught by what the company calls seasoned mountain pilots. The company suggests it as a gift at any time of year. Its Cessna 172 is one of the aircraft in use, and the team includes a chief pilot and operations manager.

The company says its mission is to help locals and visitors leave feeling connected, renewed, hopeful and inspired. It also wants to promote care for the region by making the coast mountains open to everyone. It holds a place in the TripAdvisor Hall of Fame.

The website shares short pilot profiles. Members of the team come from places such as the UK, Australia, Richmond and the Fraser Valley. Many moved to the area for the mountains. Some grew up watching floatplanes or flying with family. Outside work they hike, ski, climb and paddle.
