What people are saying about Jasper National Park

My wife and I decided to take this up as "start the honey moon with a bang" idea, and these guys did not miss the mark. Hands down one of the best experiences I've had touring in a helicopter. Our pilot, Kyle, was such a cool dude and full of so much humble knowledge about landscape and the history of Canada. And Danielle, our guide for the bubbles tour was the coolest and nicest woman, it was truly a pleasure to meet her and she took such good care of us while out on the lake. Needless to say, we made memories for a life time with those guys. Oh...and the food they provide, the cook, oh my God. It was fantastic. She even accomadated my wife's food allergies to make sure she could have the same food. It truly was an experience. If you guys read this, good shit.

From take off to landing Ralph, our pilot, was informative and interactive so we could enjoy the views perfectly. If you are in the area this is a must! Thank you to all the crew at the Heliport for making the visit memorable!

My husband, son & daughter-in-law went 10/7 to the Skywalk - we made reservations…which is a must. It was spectacular - our DIL is afraid of heights, but she did walk for me.

The staff is amazing and the experience was amazing. Helicopter and snowshoe tour was the highlight of our trip.

Amazing experience, just keep in mind the Starbucks closes very very early.
