Helijet: The Best Vancouver Sightseeing Tour
In 2014, one of the best travel experiences I had the opportunity of taking was a helicopter ride. It was a sightseeing helicopter tour over Vancouver, Canada with Helijet. Riding a helicopter has now become my favourite way to see a city. It is so much different from riding a plane and looking out through a tiny window. In a chopper, you have a greater perspective of what’s below you.

HELPFUL GENERAL TRAVEL TIPS
- Flights: Find a cheap flight using Skyscanner or Momondo. I like these two booking sites because they both search all websites and airlines around the globe including budget airlines.
- Accommodations: I use Booking.com or Tripadvisor to find the best rates on hotels. Hotels.com offers a free night after booking 10 nights
- Get up to $40 off your first Air Bnb stay by using this code!
- Travel Insurance: Having gotten sick on my travels in the past, I never travel without being insured. You never know when something may happen. For my round the world trip and extended long-term travel, I use World Nomads. For other trips, I have used Roam Right and they cover activities like extreme sports.

A little post-flight ecstatic photo :)
Here’s a 1-minute clip I made from GoPro footage during the flight. It’s a bit shaky since I placed the GoPro on a selfie stick and then propped it on the open chopper window while shooting photos on my DSLR.
