Airhart Aviation offers high-quality, affordable seaplane tours, custom tours, and charter work. Take-off from our base on the water at the heart of Downtown Kelowna. Our high-wing Cessna aircraft ensure everyone has a window seat and an excellent view. Whichever package you choose, your knowledgeable pilot will point out interesting facts and features over stereo headphones provided for your comfort. Experience the Okanagan from a new perspective – start your adventure today!
Airharts float plane tours are thrilling aerial adventures offering breathtaking views of the Okanagan valley, Lake Country and beyond. Fly above the varied terrain in style and take in sparkling lakes, rolling hills dotted with vineyards and orchards, and snow-capped mountains – if you’re feeling super adventurous you might even visit an alpine lake or glacier. Our tours are conducted by experienced pilots who can provide interesting commentary on the attractions of the region. Overall a float plane tour is a unique experience and and unforgettable way to take in one of British Columbia’s most picturesque regions.
These tours are for the more adventurous souls, who really want to dive deep into some of British Columbias remote wilderness offerings. Take off by seaplane from downtown Kelowna and relax as the chaos of the city fades away below, and your pilot takes you through valleys, over lakes, further and higher into rugged and remote terrain. Not many people get the chance to enjoy the magic of descending among snowcapped mountains onto the pristine and calm waters of an alpine lake. If you would like to get a little more out of your tour, we also offer fishing, camping and other ‘experience’ packages on top of our scenic tours. Camp out under the stars, munch on some delicious nibbles or get some down time on the lake immersed in the views and sounds of the remote British Columbia wild.
Feeling Fancy? Looking for a nice lazy day exploring some of Kelowna’s picturesque vineyards? Sipping wine on a patio? Nibbling some cheese?
Feeling … extra fancy? Why not arrive in style? By seaplane. Descend from the the sky and skim gracefully up the shoreline like the majestic beauty that you are. Make some jaws drop. Get yourself some of that VIP treatment. You know you deserve it.
There are multiple reasons that you might need a private chartered flight. Maybe you have an important meeting to get to in another city, but you don’t want to lose the whole day travelling there and back? Maybe you have a fishing trip planned with buddies, and you want the privacy of a remote location? Maybe you just want to visit some new, cool locations and just can’t be bothered with the drive.
Airhart aviation offers private charters by float and wheel plane to anywhere in BC, and sometimes even beyond. If there’s water, runway, or grass – we can get you there.
Are you thinking of proposing, or celebrating an anniversary, birthday or life milestone for an adventurous loved one? We also sell gift certificates – boom. You’re welcome!
Airhart Aviation is based at the Grand Okanagan Lakefront Resort and departs from the dock located behind the hotel on Lake Okanagan. Departures are also available from any waterfront location including Vernon, Peachland, Summerland, Penticton, Skaha Lake, or wherever you’re located. We can even depart from your houseboat!
Airhart Aviation Tours operates out of the city of Kelowna in the heart of the Okanagan valley – a cascade of rolling hills and winding lakes, with terraced vineyards tucked into the forested hillsides. The Okanagan spills over with life in the Spring and Summer, as nature-lovers flock from all over to revel in the Okanagans’ spectacular mountain scenery, pristine lakes, and fertile landscape peppered with lush orchards, vineyards, parks, beaches, ski slopes and world-class trail networks.
What better way to take it all in than from the sky? You haven’t experienced the beauty of the Okanagan until you’ve seen it from above.
