Heli-Drop to 35°C Wild Hot Springs: A Quiet Wilderness Soak Outside Whistler.
Experience the thrill of a scenic helicopter flight from Whistler to remote natural hot springs.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
Soak in 35°C Natural Pools
These natural pools sit at about 35°C and are the focal point of the landing — a rare chance to immerse yourself in warm river-side springs in a completely remote setting.
Helicopter Access Eliminates a Full-Day Trek
Where a once-accessible trail now demands a strenuous full-day trek through overgrowth, the helicopter flight drops you off right by the pools so you bypass the hike entirely.
A River-Edge Retreat in Complete Wilderness
You land beside a river in a tranquil, remote environment — a short transport turns an otherwise arduous backcountry approach into a low-footprint escape.

The core experience is less about a guided program and more about the contrast: a brief, aerial approach from Whistler followed by unstructured time to unwind in hot pools set against a river and the wider wilderness.
