What our guests are saying about our tours….
“Wow! Thank you for an amazing adventure.
I know my wife will remember this for a very long time.
She hasn’t stopped telling everyone she meets about the whole event.”
Nick and Carol (Tour 2 from Shawnigan Lake)
“We just wanted to send you a big “Thank You” for an awesome trip on Saturday. We’ve been home for 3 days now and still can’t stop talking about flying over the Gulf Islands, seeing the sea lions and seals and the great time we had in Ganges. The weather was perfect and so was our pilot. We will be highly recommending your services to our friends and family and are already talking about our next float plane trip, the ”Island Beach Picnic”. We do have one question, do you offer frequent flyer miles? HaHa.
Thanks again for a wonderful trip.”
