Glacier Kayaking and Packrafting Compass Heli Tours

Glacier Kayaking and Packrafting

Description

This is an extraordinary Seasonal Adventure that runs from late May to early October . Vibrant blue meltwater seen in the social media videos only occurs from late May, throughout June and sometimes into early July. By mid-July, the snow and ice have mostly melted, leaving behind an abundance of icebergs floating in the lakes. By August, the lakes are wide open and perfect for exploring.

  • 60-70 minute round-trip flight from our base at Abbotsford Airport
  • Kayaks/packrafts
  • Paddle Canada Instructor
  • Four hours on location for introductory course on glacier kayaking and packrafting
  • Trip photos
  • Picnic lunch from Lepp Farm Market

QUICK DETAILS

  • Capacity: Private group of 1–4 guests , Up to 4 guests
  • Duration: 5 hours
  • Info: Add a roundtrip from Vancouver Heliport for an additional $2,000, Only available for private groups on 9AM departures.
  • Availability: 21 Days per Calendar Year per Location, beginning July 15th.

The lake’s turquoise color changes day to day with different lighting conditions and varies depending on glacial sediment suspended in the water. Preferred months are August and September; during this time, there is more freedom to explore.

Sandy beaches and rare wildflowers are revealed when the snow is gone. Guests may paddle up to the glacier or hike to waterfall viewpoints. Upon arrival, guests are given a safety briefing that includes kayak instructional and emergency response procedures. Personal Floatation Devices (PFD’s) are supplied. These must be worn at all times while on the water.

Bring sunscreen and sunglasses. You will be paddling on very frigid water so long pants, hiking boots, windbreaker fleece, and a rain jacket are strongly recommended. Guests are encouraged to dress in layers and bring a change of clothes. You will likely get wet. Relax, this will be the “coolest” thing you do all summer. The trip is rounded off with great food, great people and professional photos to tell the whole story.

Distances and flight times shown in the charts above should be considered as estimates only. One (1) nautical mile is equal to 1.1508 statute miles.

From Tel Aviv to Moscow, flights typically operate using heavy, super midsize or midsize aircraft:

Heavy jet options for private charters from Tel Aviv to Moscow include the Bombardier Global 6000, Falcon 900 LX and the Gulfstream G650.

At a cruise speed of 564 miles per hour, the Bombardier Global 6000 can fly at altitudes higher than most commercial airliners, with a ceiling of 51,000 feet. The placement of windows on the fuselage maximizes natural light in the cabin, greatly enhancing the interior design aesthetics.

The versatile Falcon 900LX’s spacious cabin provides three separate areas for work and relaxation. The jet can accommodate up to 19 passengers in a compact configuration or up to 8 passengers in a comfortable setting.

Gulfstream’s G650 is one of the fastest jets in Gulfstream’s fleet with a top speed at 92% of the speed of sound. With a range of more than 7,000 miles, the cabin is typically configured to carry up to 19 passengers and has sleeping accommodations for up to 10. The G650 provides passengers with a smooth flight.

Heavy jets typically include a full galley, catering and flight attendant service.

Super Midsize jets  including the Hawker 1000, Gulfstream G280 and the Bombardier Challenger 350 provide a relaxing private flight experience. A spacious cabin design allows passengers to move about, relax or work comfortably during the flight and a flat floor design maximizes legroom.

The Hawker 1000 is selected for its spacious cabin and extended range capabilities. The jet features a range of more than 3,000 nautical miles, allowing for nonstop flights.

The Gulfstream G280 features include a range of 3,600 nautical miles and a cabin pressurized to a lower, more easily breathable altitude. Another popular feature of this jet is the amount of natural light that flows through the cabin from Gulfstream’s signature large oval windows.

The design of the Bombardier Challenger 350 is configured for performance and passenger comfort with a range of 3,200 miles, a wide cabin, flat floor and convenient baggage cargo areas. The aircraft’s sound suppressing design ensures a quiet cabin for maximum productivity in flight.

Super midsize jets typically include a full galley, catering and flight attendant service.

Midsize jet options  include the Cessna Citation XLS+, the Learjet 60XR and the Gulfstream G150.

A member of the high-performing class of midsize jets, the Citation XLS+ can climb to cruise altitude in just under 15 minutes after taking off in just 3,560 feet, one of the shortest takeoff distances of any midsize jet. This takeoff rate represents an advantage for private jet charterers because the Citation XLS+ can operate out of smaller airports closer to the charterer’s arrival and destination points.

The Learjet 60XR offers a perfect combination of performance and comfort. Cabin seating features include dual drop-down armrests, 360° swivel capability for efficient conversations during flight and full recline capability to maximize relaxation.

The Gulfstream G150 is one of the fastest midsize jets available with a maximum speed of 547 mph. Cabin configurations include a club seating layout with two forward-facing seats in the rear of the cabin.

All midsize jets typically seat up to 9 passengers and include digital entertainment, a galley and Wi-Fi for in-flight entertainment.

In conclusion, Moscow is one of the most popular European destinations for private jet charters. A leading global business hub, many business executives traveling to Moscow’s business centers utilize private jets for their efficiency. After spending time in Moscow, leisure travelers come away from their trip with a deep sense of fulfillment from spending time together immersed in the cultural richness of Russia’s past, present and future and the lasting warmth of the people of Moscow who call this capital city home.

A professional charter coordinator will ensure your privately chartered flight to Moscow is flawless, from a spacious cabin with zones configured with ultra-comfortable seating, first-class dining with flight attendant service, digital entertainment options with an intuitive cabin management system and plenty of baggage space that can be conveniently accessed during flight.
