I have never been in a helicopter, and I have wanted to take a ride for a long time. We were…read morespending a long weekend in Victoria and were chatting with the Concierge at our hotel. 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.

Holy shit! Best damn helicopter flight we've been on! Super professional and best pilot. We took…read morethe glacier tour to see water falls. This is the tour to take. 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.

I've been on several sea/boat/land tours in my life. None as disappointing as today's. If you're…read moreused to a pilot/captain who gives a narrative of what you are seeing, pick another company. Marcus was very disappointing pointing out what we were seeing. He blamed it on the head sets. In the morning we took a boat ride to see bears, sea lions, harbor seals and he spent time pointing out many things. Unfortunately the flight yielded ziltch with info. I would in the future ask 2 questions. 1-does the pilot narrate & 2-do the headphones work & if not will he just narrate loudly. Our group felt he just went through the motions. Money not well spent.

We had a great flight with Jason. He shared a wealth of information about the area with us. It was…read moreonly 30 minutes, but he made sure we saw plenty, even circling a few times so my son could get a look at the sea lions. I'm usually the one who feels the pressure to watch the purse strings on vacation, but this was a once in a lifetime thing and hands down the best way to really soak up the beauty of the area. Plus, Jason is a long-time resident and business owner, and we got some really good tips about what to do, where to go, where to eat -- all the stuff you want to know when you're seeing a place for the first time. Highly recommend.

A family vacation on Savary Island meant we had to get a water taxi from Lund to the island. The…read moretaxi is foot-traffic only, you can't bring a car or any motorized vehicles. Any cars on the island were brought over by barge. You could probably bring a bicycle on the taxi. But because there are only a handful of shops, and one convenience store, we also had to bring all of our food and necessities. That made for a lot of baggage. I don't know the exact price as I wasn't paying the bill, but according to the website they only charge per person, not for the number of bags. Although they charge extra for bikes, kayaks, and paddleboards. The Lund Water Taxi staff were helpful loading the boat, but we had to bring everything from the car to the dock. Not to mention the other side where we had to get a land taxi (aka some guy with a pick-up truck) so we could get all the stuff from the Savary Island dock to our rental cabin. Although the good thing is that the Lund Water Taxi organizes the land taxi to meet you on the other side (extra fees apply).
