Sightseeing (Picture BC photo)
Flightseeing tours allow visitors to gain incredible viewing access to Nimpo Lake's diverse geography.
View the rugged Coastal Mountain Range west of Nimpo Lake and the Monarch Mountains to the south. Witness the power of Hunlen Falls, the third highest free falling waterfall in Canada, as it empties from the northern end of the Turner Lake Chain in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park into Lonesome Lake. Fly over the Rainbow Mountain Range, volcanically marked by vibrant layers of reds, pinks, and yellows.
Operators in the area offer both fixed-wing and helicopter flights. The length of flights varies from under an hour to full-day tours with picnic and fishing drop-offs. Ultimately, flight duration is a matter of budget and destination.
