Air Nootka
If you are searching for the ultimate West Coast adventure, look no further! Specializing in scenic flights to the most remote regions of Vancouver Island, you will see the pristine old growth forests, historic Friendly Cove, and Cougar Annie’s Gardens. Whether you are hiking, fishing, surfing, on business or just in search of an adventure, Air Nootka can accommodate.
Our Hot Springs Cove flights leave Gold River Saturdays and Sundays from October through May (2 person minimum).
Historic Mail flights depart Gold River Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays year round (except for stat holidays). Trip time is approximately 2 hours.
Hiking the West Coast is an unbelievable experience. There are beautiful sandy beaches, tidal pools, waterfalls, rugged coastlines, historic sites and glorious sunsets. Three of the best west coast trails are Nootka Island, Hesquiat Peninsula and the Tatchu Peninsula. We offer charter flights to all three.
If you’d like to do something a little different we also offer a Fly & Float package combining a flight to Friendly Cove with a return sailing on the MV Uchuck (3 person minimum).
Currently, we have a Cessna 185 and 2 De Havilland Beavers in our fleet.
