The whole adventure was rather surreal and amazing. To one minute be in our hot rusty old van and the next being placed gently in the fragrant high alpine by helicopter beside a gorgeous remote lake takes some getting used to comprehending. We had such a memorable amazing time. The paddle boarding was sooo cool. We paddled between icebergs and around the shoreline of the whole lake. The colours and sounds were primordial, the sun was so healing. We floated transfixed staring at the waterfall at the end of the lake wondering how we got there. “It’s like we’re in a simulation, Dad!”. Well we felt like that the whole day. The picnic was out of this world too. Beyond what we have ever had at a picnic before. Chocolate covered strawberries with pistachio sprinkles, Strawberry cheesecake, Canadian bacon maple doughnuts, charcuterie, sandwiches, the most amazing tomato soup we have ever tasted! We didn’t even get to use the silver tongs provided, we just plowed into it. This must be what Oliver twist felt like when he was rescued from the street urchins. I felt like proposing all over again. Our guide, Brent was amazing. After he magically set everything up and packed everything up at the end, he left us to laugh uncontrollably with joy at everything we were experiencing. In no time after a brief walk on the last of winter’s snow in our flip flops we heard the helicopter coming to take us away. Our pilot was so skilled and fun. He took us over to see the mountain bike trail and the Ipsoot glacier before flying back to base. Our whole adventure was as long as a summer nap and we felt like we just lived the most incredible dream together. Woah.

I booked the heli-picnic for my wife birthday. I had lots of questions during the booking process because we were going with our 2 kids (age 3 and 5) and all my questions were answered promptly and accurately. The day of the booking, we met our guide Dave who was just amazing. He obviously knows the area extremely well and was very good at giving us privacy during the picnic. My son and I have motion sickness, so Dave warned our pilot Carter who did a fantastic job at flying smoothly over the mountains. It was an amazing feeling to fly over the mountains, land close to this beautiful lake, and enjoy a delicious lunch. There was enough food for 5-6 adults, so we were able to bring leftovers home. After lunch, Dave took us on a quick hike to a waterfall before being picked up by the helicopter. Overall, it was a perfect birthday present, thanks to Blackcomb Helicopter and its amazing team!!

A favourite part?! all of it! But the stunning Alpine lake swim was the best. The colour and temperature of the water were stunning and perfect for a hot smokey day. Awesome!!

I scheduled the Picnic and paddle boarding tour to purpose, the staff were super kind and kept everything a secret literally up in till we got into the helicopter. (she had no idea what we were actually going to be doing that day) The flight to the mountain was beautiful and once we landed the guide was very informative and professional, he let us hike around while he set up lunch. Lunch was a good variety of food and it was delicious. (probably was enough food for 4 people). After that we took the paddle boards out which was just unreal. The guide Dave, was more then happy to take photo's and assist anyway possible. 10 out of 10 would recommend this tour!
