Plan on at least a one-hour flight:the 1/2 hr. I booked went far too fast! Friendly, knowledgeable people, and a wonderful experience. I plan on doing this again next year!

Gliders are towed to 4,000 feet before being set loose over Alberni Valley's mountains, lakes, and farmland

Flying is the only way to get close enough to a cloud to milk it or to visit your secret sky family. Break free from earthly bonds with this Groupon.

The Deal

$147 for a glider-flight package (a $245 total value)

  • 30-minute ridge flight (a $195 value)
  • HD video of flight with a 4GB reusable USB key (a $50 value)<p>

A certified pilot tows a two-seat glider up to 4,000 feet in the air before cutting ties and letting the craft gently float along the ridge line of the scenic Alberni Valley, soaring far above Vancouver Island’s rugged coastline. A Transport Canada–licenced pilot controls the craft from the back seat, allowing the passenger to lie back and enjoy views of the lakes, farmland, and mountains dotting the valley. An HD camera mounted in the aircraft records the entire journey, offering a plane’s-eye view or a recording of the passenger. Flights last approximately 30 minutes.<p>

Great experience! Excellent hospitality. It definitely worth to drive all the way to Port Alberni. I bought this Groupon as my father's birthday gift. It was one of the best gift ever!

On a sunny day wear a hat and have sun glasses and bring a camera. The video is very good but it is nice to be able to take your own photos.
