Would you ride in a helicopter in Vancouver with the doors off for the 'gram?

SKY Helicopters is giving you the chance to do just that, starting May 2021 — that is, if you're not afraid of heights.

The company told Narcity that it's a "unique way to experience the best of rotary flight; feeling the wind and gaining access to clear, unobstructed views for the best photos."

Departing from Pitt Meadows Airport, you'll get to see the Lion's Gate Bridge, Stanley Park, English Bay, North Shore Mountains and the southernmost fjord on Canada's west coast.

The high adrenaline journey lasts 30 minutes and is undoubtedly one you'll never forget.

Before you depart, the pilot will train you on everything you need to know for a safe journey.

For those looking for a unique date, this would be perfect, as every flight is private.

It is time to grab your camera, as you'll be able to get photographs where a drone could never go.
