HELI-HIKING
Join us for one of the best days of alpine hiking on Vancouver Island that you can imagine, starting with a stunning helicopter sightseeing tour! With little effort you'll be transported by helicopter up over the rainforests of Pacific Rim National Park and into the high peaks above Clayoquot Sound and into the Vancouver Island Alps. Our team of professionally certified ACMG guides choose heli-hiking terrain that suits your ability level and personal goals. Helicopter Hiking Tours (aka Heli hikes) can be for those wanting an easy trek with incredible views, or for those that want to tackle harder terrain. You will be dropped off with your guide where you'll enjoy the day of fantastic alpine hiking and mountain views in all directions.
