The figures below summarize the performance and dimensions that matter most when you are matching an aircraft to a trip. They reflect typical configurations; exact numbers vary with weight, weather, and how a given aircraft is equipped.
With a range of approximately 455 nautical miles, the DHC-2 Beaver is ideal for regional expeditions and remote transfers without refueling. Iconic missions include Vancouver to secluded British Columbia inlets, Anchorage to Alaskan wilderness lodges, or hopping between the islands of Ontario’s cottage country—all on a single tank, with reserves. | Short-field performance is a hallmark. The Beaver’s ability to take off in just over 1,000 feet and land on rugged strips, lakes, or snowfields makes it uniquely suited for wilderness access, private island transfers, or fly-in fishing trips. Cruise speeds of 105 knots keep journeys efficient, and the robust PT6A turboprop engine delivers the power and dependability needed for challenging environments. | For travelers, this translates to direct, time-saving routes and a level of destination access that no commercial carrier can provide.
Inside the Beaver, the cabin is all about utility and comfort for adventure travel. Cabin height is generous for a bush plane, making it easy to move about, while wide windows offer unmatched views of the passing wilderness or water below. | Typical layouts seat five passengers plus the pilot in forward-facing seats, with ample flexibility to accommodate cargo, outdoor gear, or supplies for remote getaways. The finishes are practical and durable, favoring easy cleaning and rugged use, but many modern Beavers feature upgraded upholstery and noise-reduction for a more refined experience. | With 10 cubic feet of baggage space and a cabin designed for flexibility, the Beaver supports expeditions, group retreats, or simply a private family adventure. The journey itself becomes part of the experience, offering breathtaking panoramas and the thrill of landing where few aircraft can reach.

The DHC-2 Beaver is not intended for long-range or high-speed travel—larger turboprops and light jets are more suitable for cross-country or international flights. But for groups of up to six seeking exclusive access to remote destinations, lakes, or wilderness lodges, and for those who demand authentic adventure, the Beaver is unrivaled in its category.
The DHC-2 Beaver typically seats five passengers plus one pilot, arranged in forward-facing seats that can be reconfigured for cargo or gear. Its flexible interior works especially well for small groups, families, or outdoor expeditions.
Yes. The Beaver’s cabin is spacious for its class, with ample headroom and wide windows for superb visibility. It also features a rear baggage area of about 10 cubic feet, and can be fitted with floats, skis, or wheels to suit your destination.
For most regional wilderness or island routes, yes. The Beaver’s range and short-field abilities allow it to reach remote destinations, lakes, and private strips without refueling, though longer cross-country flights are better suited to larger turboprops or jets.
