CHARTERS
There are about 150,000 square miles of inaccessible territory in northern British Columbia alone. As you can imagine, there are hundreds of pristine lakes and rivers to explore! Whether you are hauling supplies, surveying, or planning your next outdoor adventure, we offer charter flights throughout British Columbia and the Yukon. We know the geography of British Columbia like our own backyard. We can fly you out for unguided canoeing, kayaking, rafting, and hiking adventures. Experience the true frontier of British Columbia by embarking on a multi-day trip. If fishing is more your thing, naturally, inaccessible lakes and streams contain a great number of fish. If you prefer a wilderness cabin, we will be happy to make arrangements for you. Additionally, you will experience great scenery and solitude. We offer daily fly-ins and fly-outs, or we can make arrangements for multi-day trips. For rules, rates, and charges, please view our Domestic Tariff or send us an email.

TOURS
Bulkley Valley Tour
Departing from Tyhee Lake, you have two routes to choose from: Hudson Bay Mountain or Babine Mountains.
The Hudson Bay Mountain tour will give you a close up look at the two glaciers on the northeast slope. We will pass by the summit and ski area. Most of the time we are lucky enough to spot mountain goats on the slope and moose in the meadows surrounding the lakes.
On our way up to the peaks of the Babine Mountain range we will be able to spot mountain goats along some of the vertical cliffs. As we cruise along the summit we will enjoy the unrestricted view towards Babine Lake and on clear days all the way north to the Sicintine Range. We will pass over Two Bridge Lake on our way back to Tyhee.
Bush Pilot Tour
A Twenty five-minute flight from Tyhee Lake will take you across forest-covered hills and green meadows to one of two pristine glacier lakes at the foot of the 8000-foot Howson Range. After a half-hour stay at the shore, you will experience one of the most spectacular glacier tours imaginable—six glaciers up close in unforgettable fashion—before we cruise home to Tyhee Lake.
3 Lakes Tour
From Tyhee Lake, we fly southwest over the Telkwa Range towards the coastal mountains. Our first stop is Nanika Lake, with its snowcapped mountains reflecting in the crystal-clear water. No signs of human activity anywhere! A little while later, we take off again and fly north along the spectacular hanging glaciers of Atna Peak. There we start our descent into a most peaceful valley, with an emerald-green, spruce-flanked river winding its path through lush green meadows. After we take pictures of one of the most scenic places anywhere, we fly north and land fifteen minutes later on upper Burnie Lake. After a short visit to the rocky shore, we take off and climb to 9000 feet. You will be thrilled with our very popular six-glacier tour before we land again back at our home base.
