What To Expect

Your small-group, two-in-one flight and sightseeing experience begins at one of several convenient start times. Make your own way to the Victoria Harbour Airport. After a smooth check-in process, board your seaplane and get comfortable.

Then, take to the skies. From the air, you’ll see the best of the area’s sights and scenery, and can really appreciate the beauty of British Columbia. Look out for the Gulf Islands, enjoy views of Ogden Point, and then admire Vancouver’s top landmarks as you descend on the city. With only a small group for company, you’ll enjoy a personalized way to travel.

In just half an hour, you’ll arrive in Vancouver, making this seaplane one of the fastest and most convenient ways to get between Victoria and Vancouver—and several hours quicker than if you were to travel by ferry.

Once the seaplane lands at the Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre—its own one-of-a-kind experience—and you’ve disembarked, the journey ends.

Great experience. Had never flown on a seaplane. When I purchased the ticket I did not see a weight limit, so I had to pay more for the flight when we got there.

Scenic Travel Experience
Yolanda_S, Jul 2023
My husband, teen age sons and I took the sea plane from Victoria to Vancouver on our (first) trip to Canada. The location and check-in was extremely convenient, views while in the air were truly an experience in and of itself, and it was quicker than the fairy. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 is that my son was queasy. That aside, I highly recommend it.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Yolanda, Thank you for your five-star review. We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the experience. We are so happy to hear you love our services and convenience of flying. We appreciate the recommendation, and we look forward to seeing you the next time you're in Vancouver.

Excellent flight and experience. First time on a seaplane. Loading off and on, and extensive luggage were all efficiently handled. Pilot allowed me to sit in the cockpit. Very friendly helpful ground crew as well. Even though it was cloudy and rainy, we enjoyed the flight and scenery

Great experience - check your booking
Bruno_L, Aug 2022
We changed the date via Viator and even though I had an email from Viator confirming the change, it had not been notified to the seaplane company. Fortunately the seaplane company were kind enough to make the change at the last minute, otherwise our tickets would have been lost. So, piece of advice: DO really confirm your booking in advance!
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Bruno, 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 our team were able to accommodate your date change. Hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back aboard soon! - Harbour Air Seaplanes
