Overview

Get ready for a day that feels straight out of a Canadian dream. The Bubbles Heli Tour is a full-day winter adventure in the Canadian Rockies , combining breathtaking scenery, unforgettable thrills, and one of nature’s most magical wonders - the frozen methane bubbles of Abraham Lake .

The tour starts from the Cline River Heliplex, located near Abraham Lake, where you will need to drive yourself . It takes about 2.5 hours driving to reach the Heliplex from Banff and 1.5 hours from Lake Louise.

Your journey begins with the excitement of lift-off as your helicopter soars over rugged mountain peaks , offering panoramic views that will leave you speechless. Touch down in a pristine alpine setting where you’ll strap on snowshoes and wander through a peaceful winter wilderness , guided by experts who bring the landscape to life with fascinating stories.

Then comes the highlight - standing on the crystal-clear ice of Abraham Lake , gazing down at the mesmerizing layers of frozen bubbles suspended beneath your feet. It’s a moment that feels both surreal and serene - one you’ll remember long after you’ve returned home.

Warm up with a cup of hot chocolate and Irish Cream , share laughs over a delicious hot lunch , and take in the stillness of the Rockies around you.

Whether you’re a photographer, a nature lover, or simply seeking something extraordinary, the Bubbles Heli Tour is more than a sightseeing trip - it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will leave you awestruck, inspired, and deeply connected to the beauty of Canada’s wild winter.
