The Best View of Fort McMurray

McMurray Aviation offers affordable aerial tours that take you over the city, oilsand sites, and the beautiful boreal forest.

The costs of the Aerial tours is the full price of the tour, not the cost per person. Our tours are in a fixed wing Cessna airplane, not a helicopter which is why we are able to offer such affordable prices.

There are weight restrictions on the airplanes, which means just because there is seating capability we may not be able to take that many passengers. If you mention how many people are in your party upon booking our customer service agents can advise you on the best airplane to take. We have 3 different sized aircraft that can carry a different number of passengers.

 If you have a specific landmark you would like to see our tours can be adjusted to just let where you would like to go, just let your Customer Service Agent know when you book.
We also have our standard tours which are listed below!

Athabasca Sand Dunes

Estimated to be about 8000 years old, the Athabasca sand dunes are a result of glacier melt. As the glaciers receded, meltwater washed enormous quantities of sand, silt and sediment from local sandstone into Lake Athabasca. 

Each year the dunes expand, engulfing the surrounding boreal forest up to 1.5 metres each year. 

The Reserve also protects an abundance of flora and fauna. Some that are even exclusive in the sand dunes.

  We took the City Adventure flight with Tony. He was an excellent pilot and guide. He provided very helpful information about the area and its features. It... read more was amazing to see the nearby oil sands sites from the air, to see pristine areas, and to get some perspective on the wildfire. Highly recommend!
