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.

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.

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.
