Guided/ Self Guided Tours

What does the Peace Country look like from the air? Find out with a thrilling helicopter tour with Black Swan Helicopters. You will be in awe of the beauty of the valley and the rich landscapes of the Peace region with 360-degree views.

During a Black Swan Helicopter Tour, passengers experience the incredible feeling of lifting-off and flying (which feels more like floating) through the low-level air, surrounded by beautiful topography that makes the Peace Region one of the most beautiful places in Northern Alberta. It will be hard putting your camera down; the view of the river valley and surrounding landscapes are absolutely breathtaking.

The once-in-a-lifetime experience is popular among residents and visitors to the area. Guests can request to fly over specific areas or choose the awe-inspiring Smoky River Tour, where passengers get up-close views of the Smoky River and the surrounding region. Tours are available all year round and cost $500 for a half-hour (with a maximum of 4 passengers).

In addition to providing tour services in the region, the company transports firefighters, cargo and equipment to fire sites and provides essential support to extinguish fires and limit fire expansion. Black Swan also transports visiting biologists performing research in the area. 

Black Swan Helicopters is located in Berwyn, Alberta, serving the region since 2003.
