Aerial adventures

Bush planes opened up the North of Canada, and here in the Northwest Territories bush aircraft are still a great way to get around. Both scheduled and charter airlines offer flightseeing adventures. You can purchase a half hour trip on a floatplane to see a community from the air. For a longer trip, travel by "sked" or charter along a famous river route to one of our smaller communities. There are tour packages to see the Mackenzie Delta, the Richardson or the Mackenzie Mountains, the Canol, Nahanni, or Wood Buffalo parks and more. In winter, flightseeing in a bush plane on skiis, you might catch a glimpse of northern caribou close to a community. When you fly northern skies with one of our savvy bush pilots, you'll be flying with a Canadian legend.
