We’ve lived here for 1.5 years and wanted to better... read more understand the region - the importance of the oil sands, the affected areas of the disastrous fire of 2016 and the flood of 2020. Wow it blew our mind seeing it all from the air by helicopter. Cameron was a great pilot, very informative and was very accommodating to showing us the areas we were most interested in.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s a tour well worth taking. I guarantee you’ll learn something!

Booked the 42 minute tour of Suncor,Syncrude @ townsite.Based my decision on Phoenix Heli-Flights safety record and reviews others have left.Was not dissapointed. Very convenient location near the airport. Very... read more professional & flexible staff. They did not ask for a deposit upon booking in advance,nor were they concerned we pay up front prior to flying.The pilot said " we'll deal with that when we get back." Also keep in mind while you are up there you can request to spend more time and see other things.You just pay for the extra time.So there really is a tour for everyone.
