Ice Caves, Sightseeing, and Custom Experiences

Starting at the Whistler Heliport, just north of Whistler, the Ice Cave Experience takes you on a 60-minute helicopter flight over lush forests, ancient glaciers, and jagged peaks. Feel your heartbeat in time with the rotors as you soar between sheer rock walls and take in the immensity of the Coast Mountains.
Your expert pilot lands near the opening of an ice cave that was created more than 12,000 years ago. Pull on an Arctic-level jacket, provided for you, and get ready to be amazed as you follow your highly trained guide into tunnels of striking azure blue. Run a hand along the smooth, frozen walls and marvel at the stunning crystalline formations that have been sculpted by time.
“People are typically in awe of the beauty that nature can create,” says Kim Gregoire, No Limits Heli Adventures marketing manager. “These ice caves won’t be here forever, so this is a special experience that we’re privileged to share with our guests.”
The company has been taking guests on aerial adventures for 25 years. The team is driven by a commitment to safety and excellence in pursuit of extraordinary moments. Their strength lies in their versatility, from a selection of shorter sightseeing tours to crafting customized adventures for those seeking luxury and uniqueness.
After exploring the ice cave, it’s time to take in the views as you dine on a gourmet charcuterie board prepared by the Bearfoot Bistro, one of Whistler’s fine-dining favourites. And as if you haven’t banked enough magical moments, an add-on option to the tour is to then fly over the steaming cavern of the Mount Meager volcano.
“The Ice Cave Experience is our signature tour and a guest favourite,” Gregoire says. “It has the incredible sightseeing flight, landing, and cave exploration, not to mention the beautifully prepared food.”
It’s no wonder that people choose No Limits when they’re celebrating a milestone, special event, or perhaps asking an important life question. No Limits looks to create unforgettable aerial journeys that connect people with nature’s raw beauty, and the Ice Cave Experience does just that. However, their industry-leading team is committed to evolving the company’s immersive, off-the-beaten-path adventures; a new Hot Springs Wilderness Experience is currently in development.
“We pride ourselves on creating experiences that are as varied as our guests’ imaginations,” Gregoire says. “At the more accessible end of the spectrum, our Glacier sightseeing tour, which offers an exhilarating 14-minute flight under $200, is a perfect entry point for first-time flyers or families. On the ultra-premium side, we can curate private charter experiences such as a Princess Louisa Inlet landing with chef-prepared cuisine.”
