Heli-Hiking in British Columbia’s Wildest Backcountry
Some places you can’t drive to, hike to, or stumble across. You have to fly.
Our heli-hiking experience drops you deep into British Columbia’s wilderness—places few people ever get to stand, let alone explore. Think glacier-fed lakes, ancient valleys, and ridgelines without a trail in sight.
This isn’t just a hike. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime shot at raw, remote, breathtaking wilderness with expert guides, essential gear options, and a helicopter ride that turns "getting there" into part of the adventure.
