Lillooet Ice Field Tour |
On this tour your pilot will take you west, beyond Spruce Lake Provincial Park to the Lillooet Ice Field. This ice field, with its interconnected glaciers, covers 400 square miles and is home to the spectacular Bridge Glacier. See icebergs floating in the icy green waters at the toe of the Bridge Glacier. The spectacular and colourful volcanoes and cinder cones associated with the Cascade Volcanic belt will seem close enough to reach out and touch.

Glacier Landing Tour |
In addition to seeing everything the two previous tours offer, on this most popular 1.5-hour tour, you will also land on Glacier Lake, which was uncovered as the Bridge Glacier receded. Very few humans have ever set foot on its shores. You will have time to get out of the airplane and have a short walk across virgin terrain beside icebergs floating in the colourful glacial water. Pine Forests, which the glacier covered over 2,000 years ago are once again visible alongside alpine flowers reclaiming the barren moraine. Should landing become impractical, due to unfavourable winds or iceberg movement, this will convert to a Lillooet Ice Field Tour.
Duration: 1.5 hours
Tour includes: Flight and 20 minute guided hike alongside the Bridge Glacier Price: $242 per person *
