Vancouver by air is a spectacle that every visitor should experience. There are a number of reliable air tour providers in the region. Although more extravagant than a ground-bound tour, air charters offer unforgettable bird's-eye views. Harbour Air has a fleet of seaplanes that provide quick city tours, as well as outings into secluded wilderness areas.

Vancouver Helicopter Tours also offers panoramic air trips over the city and surrounding mountains and valleys. They have a nighttime flight, the Grouse Heli-Picnic, where you can fly up to Grouse Mountain and dine while overlooking the city.

See the entire city, sea and beyond from this peak's magnificent vista. 15 minutes from downtown, this is the city's closest mountain and offers year-round activities. In the summer, go on guided walking tours, helicopter trips and visit the restaurants. In the winter, ski, snowboard, or go on a sleigh ride. If you prefer to keep warm, try out the Theatre in the Sky. See their website for information on rates and further details.
