FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes, our prices are per person unless otherwise stated (5% Goods and Services tax and fuel surcharge is extra). We also offer pricing for private tours and extended flight time on select, private tours.

Please note that weight restrictions apply.

What do “weight restrictions” mean?

We ask all customers to please provide ACCURATE passenger weights.    Our flight operations team uses these weights to determine aircraft type and maximum fuel load.  Inaccurate reporting of weights may result in a cancellation of the flight due to aircraft availability and/or flight schedule.

Maximum single seat capacity is 300lbs.

Please note that helicopter weight limits can vary based on seasonal weather and temperatures. Flights may have to be rescheduled or split into separate flights. Additional charges will apply.

SKY Helicopters reserves the right to cancel any booking on or before the date of the booking at their discretion for any reason, including but not limited to, poor weather, maintenance requirements, and lack of aircraft availability.

What if the weather is bad?

British Columbia’s West Coast offers a variety of weather conditions, each with its own unique beauty. If we cannot fly due to safety considerations, we will reschedule or cancel your flight at no cost to you.

Late arrivals will be addressed on a case-by-case basis depending on aircraft availability; however, there is a chance that the flight won’t be able to take place due to previously scheduled flights. In this case, 100% of total seat purchase(s) will be charged.
