Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Instead of a long drive, add a little excitement in your travel between Vancouver and Victoria. Opt instead for this round-trip seaplane flight between the two picturesque cities.

Make your way to the Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre, part of Coal Harbour, and check in before your flight departure time. After a safety briefing, take to the skies for a scenic flight.

Fly out over the Georgia Strait and peer out below to see the villages and anchorages of the beautiful Gulf Islands. Look out for Mount Baker in the distance, Salt Spring Island, and the world-famous Butchart Gardens.

Touch down in the Inner Harbour, located in central downtown Victoria, and take ground transportation to the Butchart Gardens (admission included). In Victoria, shopping, the Royal BC Museum, and several other attractions are just steps away—enjoy free time in the city before returning on an afternoon or evening flight back to Vancouver.

Both flights were late- but flight over was flawless. Smooth take off and landing. Deplaned and didn’t know where to go to get bus to Victoria..no instruction. Flight on way back had two pilots which we later learned one was training. ROUGH landing. I’m just saying, for that kind of money- I want an expert flying the plane.

We wanted to see Victoria and only had time for a day trip. Getting the seaplane each way allowed us to maximise our time there. The flights were brilliant and the transfers to Butchart Gardens worked really well. A fantastic day out.

We had only one day to see Victoria and the Butchart Gardens, and 4.5 hours each way on the ferry was not going to allow us nearly enough time to enjoy. Harbor Air Seaplanes made it possible to do it all in a day. Their staff is super professional. The flights were a mere 35 minutes each way. While the morning trip to Victoria was rainy, the evening trip was clear and views were incredible!
