Vancouver Island Soaring Centre
Vancouver Island Soaring Centre offers scenic glider flights and flight instruction in Port Alberni
The VISC is nestled in the beautiful Alberni Valley, just minutes past the town of Port Alberni on the road to the Pacific Rim National Park, Tofino and Ucluelet. Our Transport Canada Certified pilots will carry you aloft in our state-of-the-art, two-seat glider. Seated up front, you will be surrounded by spectacular views of the Beaufort Mountains, crystal-clear freshwater lakes and waterfalls, ocean inlets and the rugged coastline of Vancouver Island.

We are super excited about the new Alberni Valley Adventure Collective that is opening down at Harbour Quay. A focal point for visitors and locals alike to find out more about the adventures and tours available in the valley.

I think we shall call her Kate (Kate-21…get it?). Welcome to the fleet! Former Australian Air Cadet ASK 21 Mi (VH-NQS if anyone in Oz is curious!). We’ve had a few self-launch test flights and she goes well - now to see how it fits into operations. Nice photo bomb from Coulson Aviation’s Herc too!
The art of the cinematic reveal… It’s hard not to go “a little Hollywood” when showing our scenic glider experience flight guests the magic of the Alberni Valley! It’s already August…what are you waiting for?! 🦅✈️

It’s always a special day when someone goes solo for the first time. Just 16 years-old and a moment he’ll remember the rest of his life!
