Tammy L.

Absolutely phenomenal time flying with Stu with my partner. He and his wife Roni were such a delight to work with - extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and just generally happy to be around. You get an open cockpit and a 40-45 minute ride (perfect amount of time in my opinion) with incredible views (better than any hike you could do), cool plane tricks, and great service. No dress code necessary - they provide you with the cap, goggles, and jacket and you won't need anything else. My legs didn't get cold and I wore flip flops for shoes. Would recommend! Great for couples (and friends)!

open cockpit biplane ride across the San Juan Islands!

What a thrill it was to fly over Orcas with Stuart, possibly the kindest aviator of all-time! Amazing views and a ton of fun. Don't miss it!

Even after the flight, the smile on her face made the entire trip to Orcas Island all worthwhile.

My partner and I recently delivered a sailboat from Southern CA to the San Juans and needed a way…read moreto get back home after the long trip. We looked at several options (car rental, train, commercial flight, other charters), and San Juan Airlines stood out as the best option for us. They were more reasonably priced than other charter companies, much more convenient than the other options, and had information about their Covid-19 precautions clearly detailed on their website. We had a stellar experience with them - scheduling was smooth and our pilot was great, friendly and enthusiastic in answering our questions about the flight and general aviation topics. The aircraft was in great shape as well, comfortable and clean and clearly well maintained. The icing on the cake is of course the amazing views during our flight. We will definitely use their charter service again if the need arises.

We live out of state and go to Orcas Island every summer. Sick of dealing with the ferries and…read moreSeatac, we decided to fly into Bellingham and give San Juan Airlines a try. Our trip from Bellingham to Orcas was pleasant and seamless. Friendly staff, easy, scenic, everything the other reviews say. However, our flight from Orcas to Bellingham was almost an hour late with no advance communication or explanation given. The weather was completely clear. We booked as a private charter at a specific agreed upon time and I don't feel that commitment was taken seriously enough by the company. We almost missed our connection in Bellingham and this caused a lot of stress. That said, I would still consider using them in the future because it worked and there aren't great alternatives.

She had recently gone up to Campbell river with her bf, and they had taken the Comox Glacier Tour, she was basically so excited that she was babbling with joy and enthusiasm. How can you ignore something like that? We set up a tour for the next day. 49 North was super accommodating, we had a drive in front of us, to get there, so we scheduled for 3 pm. We took a relaxing, winding trip up from Victoria to Campbell River; it's a lovely drive. We arrived about an hour early, so we just stopped in. Jean-Marc took us up. His wife pulled together a lunch for us, and we had a fabulous experience, flying over mountains, glaciers, lakes, and having one of the best views for lunch. Seriously a stunning experience. Jean-Marc has been flying for 20 years, and this is his business, he gave us thrills, and we felt safe the entire flight. There is a lot of turbulence when you cross over the tops of mountains, but that only gave the whole experience more of that roller coaster feel. I highly recommend taking a helicopter trip with 49 North, if you get to Vancouver Island. If you listen carefully, you can probably hear me babbling with enthusiasm.

The pilot brad was awesome and best pilot we have had in helicopter. If your looking to make memories that will last the rest of your life, you will never forget this overflight of the glacier area. Do yourself a favor and forget the whale watching and grizzly bear tours and head to 49 North. It will be the one that we will always remember.

Soulless and inconsiderate small business. Do not get tricked by the official website's ticket and…read morepackage options. They are all arbitrary depending on the mood and the weather of the people who work there, including James (the man in charge). If you are a couple please note that you may be put into a plane with other people regardless of what plane and option you picked. You will not know about it until you get to the meeting point and one couple will not get to sit together. Thus, it may be better to look into other companies and there are others! If you are planning to go as a group, there are better and more professional establishments which are cheaper and/or same priced. The only saving point of this establishment is Mark (seaplane pilot) who made all the efforts to not only ensure that our experience on the air was great but also to redeem the Company. Overall, in the state where aviation is one of the major industries, there are better, more professional, and cost efficient companies and small businesses. Try them. They will have more respect and consideration for your experience. If you insist on booking from this establishment, exaggerate your weight to make sure that they cannot fly anyone with you.

Librico Helicopters - Our great pilot John

Me and my family had a wonderful experience with Librico Helicopters last weekend…read more It was my son's birthday, and I wanted to give him a very special birthday gift. I came up with an idea of a helicopter tour. After a search on the net I was lucky to find Librico Helicopters. I've called them, and this is when my awesome experience started. John Faulkner, our pilot-to-be, listened attentively to what I was looking for. It was a last minute call, just a couple of days before my son's birthday. I didn't really have much hope for a positive outcome, but John has proved me wrong just few hours later. John has designed a custom made trip itinerary for a day full of fun, sunshine, smiles and incredible adventure. He even offered to fly over from Chilliwack to pick us up at Helijet downtown, as I don't drive. Our trip was accompanied by a professional photographer and a guide, to make it even more memorable and special. Our first stop was on a cliff by a frozen lake. John is an incredible pilot, every lending, no matter how tiny the spot was, was made nicely and comfortable. He is a great person with a very good sense of humor. Being his passenger for a day is a complete adventure itself. He knows lots of interesting stories that I've absolutely enjoyed listening to. Next point on our route was natural hot springs, hidden in the wild forest by a mountain stream. It was a beautiful pearl that not many people know of. After soaking in the hot water, surrounded by scenic nature, we took of to go ice caves searching. Adam Palmer, our guide, has brought all the safety gear needed for this type of activity. Adam is a very experienced mountaineer. He told us interesting legends about lost golden mine. The whole trip was a blast, where we have been travelling from warm sunny valleys to snow covered glaciers. We have stopped on a Crystal Island Mountain. It's called island, because it's surrounded by beautiful blue glaciers. And it's called crystal, because the rocks are covered by sparkling crystals, shining bright in the sun. Spending a day in the air, flying over beautiful, our own, British Columbia, seeing places that you can't access without helicopter, visiting sacred sites with signs carved in the rocks thousands years ago by first nations, is a mind blowing adventure, you ABSOLUTELY want to happen in your life. I highly recommend Librico Helicopters and John Faulkner as top notch professional helicopter tour operator. You can trust him your special occasion. I was impressed that he was able to custom tailor our trip, the way I fantasied it to be, and even added some great ideas. We have wrapped up our trip with a nice bottle of champagne, raising glasses to our next adventure. Thank you, John!!! You are an amazing pro and a wonderful person!
