Planning your heli adventure accommodation    Getting Here
  Your Heli Canada adventure summer vacation will take place near the town of Revelstoke British Columbia (BC), Canada. British Columbia is the western-most province in Canada.

We would like to suggest that guests arriving from the United States fly into Kelowna on Horizon Air shuttle from Seattle. We also suggest that our incoming guests arrive in Kelowna on the 2:05 p.m. flight departing from Seattle at 12:58 p.m. For those who require it, we can arrange transportation to and from the Revelstoke airport for a nominal fee. Please advise us of the requirement when you make your booking.

Because our adventure packages offer full days of activity, we suggest that you stay a night in Kelowna on the last day of your package and fly back the next morning to Seattle. You would normally arrive in Kelowna between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. for dinner on departure day. We can also make these arrangements for you at the time of booking.

Road access to Revelstoke:

Revelstoke is 480 km North of Spokane, Washington, USA on Highway 95.

The drive west from Calgary to Revelstoke on the Trans Canada Highway Number 1 (410km/256mi) winds through some of the most spectacular scenery in Western Canada, the Canadian Rockies, the infamous Roger's Pass, Lake Louise, as well as several National Parks including Banff, Yoho, Glacier and Revelstoke National Parks.

The Drive east from Vancouver to Revelstoke on the Trans Canada Highway Number 1 and the Coquihalla Toll Highway 5 is 565 km and goes from the sea to the mountains in spectacular fashion.

The drive north from Kelowna on Highway 97 to Sicamous, then Highway 1 East to Revelstoke, is a pleasant country drive through the Okanagan Valley. The foothills of the Monashee Mountain range are on the right side as you head north, with the Interior Plateau on your left side - making an interesting contrast in flora. The drive is 2.5 hrs (192 km) and we suggest that you obey the speed limits, as the road winds around lakes (stop for a quick dip!) and mountain features. In Sicamous, there is a great ice cream shop with a petting zoo whilst you enjoy your cone. From Sicamous, it is only 45 minutes to an hour to our front lobby - so relax and enjoy the scenery and we will be here to meet you when you arrive.
