What To Expect

Your two-in-one flight and sightseeing adventure kicks off at your selected start time—choose from a range of departures throughout the day. Head directly to the Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre, go through a quick check-in and boarding process, and get comfortable aboard with just a small group of fellow travelers for company.

As you take to the skies, keep an eye out for many of Vancouver’s best-known landmarks. See a perspective that most visitors miss of sights like the Burrard Inlet, Stanley Park, and Downtown Vancouver, and soar over the bright blue Salish Sea.

The typical ferry journey between Vancouver and Victoria lasts more than 3 hours, but in as little as 35 minutes, you’ll descend on the picturesque British Columbia city. Admire views of Victoria, and enjoy the special experience of landing on water at the Victoria Harbour Airport.

Finally, after disembarking your plane, your experience ends.

Shocking and distressing experience with Viator

Catherine_M, Aug 2022

I would not recommend Viator to anyone. I paid a substantial amount of money for our return trip to Victoria and a Whale watching experience. The seaplane had not been booked at the time we had requested and confirmed which caused delay and stress to the day's arrangements and no seaplane booking had been made on our return. We were at risk of having to stay on the island overnight at great expense to us; thanks to Vancouver seaplane port they booked us onto an additional flight - earlier then planned - no thanks to Viator. Our day was therefore cut short and we had to pay for taxi which had not been original plan. The day was made worse by the fact that Viator had not booked the whale watching experience as agreed and paid for!

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Catheri, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent experience with Viator. Our team is genuinely dedicated to providing guests with the best possible service, and we are thrilled we were able to accommodate your flight changes. Hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back aboard. - Harbour Air Seaplanes
