I recently enjoyed a car-free experience in Tofino thanks to Harbour Air and Tofino Resort + Marina. Living in Downtown Vancouver, I walked to the seaplane terminal in Coal Harbour on a bright and sunny September morning, hopped on the Vancouver/Tofino flight, and in an hour I was walking up the resort dock as the […]

Landing on a Glacier in the Yukon’s Kluane National Park with Icefield Discovery: These incredible tours are offered April to September.

If last year was my year of kayaks and helicopters, this year is canoes and blimps — well just one blimp in particular.

Touching down in another city […]

Photographs from our morning helicopter tour in Canmore, Alberta with Alpine Helicopter. […] This has been my summer of helicopters and each time the door is shut, headsets are adorned, and the rotor blade spins, my heart races and prepares for not only the amazing scenery I am about to witness, but for the thrill of the ride.

By sea and by air, you can quickly get to know a destination like never before, whether you’re just passing through or you’ve been visiting your whole life. This summer I had the opportunity to paddle in Bellignham Bay and also to soar high above it in a helicopter with Bellingham Aviation Services (“BAS”). Bellingham […]
