Flightseeing

This is a special trip for anyone craving wild places.

Our flightseeing trips will give you an awe-inspiring, exciting and unforgettable experience above endless, undulating ridges. You will become the soaring eagle over mountain tops, perch wherever freedom takes you, and feel the thrill of wild places no other human has ever been to.

The Mackenzie Mountains are striking in their remoteness, in wilderness that runs beyond the horizons of the helicopter windows for hours on end. We will be able to fly into and over Nahanni National Park, setting down in different locations so you can connect the space above with the ground under your feet. Our experienced pilots ensure safety and thrill for memories you will never forget.

Every trip starts with a charter flight in a bush plane from either:

  • Ft. Simpson, NWT
  • Norman Wells, NWT
  • Whitehorse, Yukon
  • Watson Lake, Yukon

We will arrange this charter flight for you but it is payable directly to the charter company. Prices vary depending on location chosen, size of plane and the option of sharing the flight with others. Starting prices should be calculated at CAN$ 5000 for a plane for a return flight. Please inquire about current pricing.

Take an exhilarating scenic helicopter ride to see the South Nahanni mountain beauty from the air. Some of the places might bear a famous name: South Nahanni, Virginia Falls, the karsts of the Ram Plateau, the Cirque of the Unclimbables, Rabbit Kettle Hotsprings; but mostly this country is unnamed, unvisited, unknown. Be the soaring eagle over mountain tops, perch wherever freedom takes you, feel the thrill of wild places no other human has ever been to. Our personalized flightseeing tour is a memorable experience, available to everyone, regardless of age.

Home cooked meals in base camp, picnic lunches during the day, and backpacker food while camping. All beverages, including alcoholic. We certainly cater to those with food allergies or dietary restrictions of all forms.

Our flightseeing tours are tailored to all levels of fitness and age. This is a customized trip for you or your group. Your input will determine the daily flights.

Helicopter trips run throughout July and August.
