Queen Charlotte Islands Flightseeing Excursions & Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve Tours
The price for all flightseeing excursions and Gwaii Haanas tours are based on the charter of the entire aircraft. Whether we fly with only one passenger or at maximum capacity, the price for the tour is the same. Unless otherwise specified, the cost of the tour is shared equally by each passenger, and we make every effort to blend groups to achieve the best pricing possible for each guest.
Prince Rupert Flightseeing Excursions
Prices on our Prince Rupert Flightseeing Excursions are based on a minimum of two passengers. The tour price is fixed, and each passenger, be it 2 or five, pays the same amount. We will be pleased to fly with only one guest and the rate for a custom excursion will be determined by the duration of the flight.
Point-to-Point Charters
A point-to-point charter typically occurs when one charters an aircraft from a location other than where that aircraft is based and is also known as a transient aircraft charter. Point-to-point pricing is usually the result of an empty leg being chartered for a portion of the primary routing of the original air charter itinerary. Our rates for point-to-point charters are governed by our tariff, and you may view it on this site. Please telephone with questions and for quotes.
