Chartered and sightseeing flights showcase Yukon’s glaciers, mountains, and turquoise lakes.
Set on the shores of remote Tin Cup Lake in the heart of the Kluane region, TinCup Helicopters Inc. is opening new horizons for visitors with a range of scenic helicopter experiences that showcase one of the Yukon’s most spectacular landscapes. Operated in partnership with the renowned Tin Cup Wilderness Lodge, the new helicopter tours provide an unforgettable perspective of the vast wilderness that surrounds Kluane National Park and Reserve.
Operating from May to September, TinCup Helicopters offers both chartered flights and guided sightseeing tours, giving guests the chance to explore glacial valleys, alpine lakes, and Canada’s highest peak, Mount Logan. Flights reveal the immense scale of the Donjek and Kaskawulsh Glaciers, sweeping mountain ranges, and turquoise lakes that few ever see from this vantage point.
Each flight is operated in a Robinson R44 Raven II - a reliable, four-seat helicopter equipped with Bose A30 aviation headsets, GPS tracking, satellite communication, and comfortable leather interiors. Guests can enjoy open-door photography on request, allowing for unobstructed views and remarkable photo opportunities.
Beyond sightseeing, TinCup Helicopters also provides charter services for outdoor enthusiasts, including wilderness drop-offs, camp and lodge support. The company’s commitment to safe, professional operations reflects decades of mountain-flying experience. Chief Pilot and Operations Manager Meinrad Humm brings an exceptional background in alpine aviation, having flown extensively in both the Swiss Alps and the Yukon’s rugged mountain regions.
The helicopter tours complement the experience at Tin Cup Wilderness Lodge, a fly-in retreat that’s already a favourite with anglers and nature lovers. Now, guests can extend their adventure from water to sky - starting their flight right from the lodge dock and soaring directly into the surrounding peaks.
Whether your clients are looking to capture aerial photographs of Kluane’s glaciers, add an exhilarating flight to a lodge stay, or charter a private transfer to a remote lake, TinCup Helicopters provides a seamless, personalised service rooted in Yukon expertise and hospitality.
