Good terminal to fly out of - I had a pleasant, safe and scenic time waiting for my Harbour Air flight to Victoria recently. The lounge was nice, but the views were even better. The flight was nice in a leather seat and at a low, scenic altitude. Only nice things to say about my pilot.

Great experience! - It was our first time on a sea plane, and it was very enjoyable, not to mention easier and quicker to get from Vancouver to Victoria, instead of having to take the ferry. It was great to see the area from a bird’s eye view! The staff were very helpful, the lounge was comfortable, and we were easily able to change our flight for an earlier one. Very positive experience. This will be our mode of transport between Vancouver and Victor on future trips to B.C.

Fantastic experience flying in a seaplane - This was a fantastic experience flying in a seaplane, taking off and landing on water ( which was smoother than land!) the views of downtown were awesome. The flights go from downtown Vancouver to downtown Victoria on Vancouver Island, so you don’t have to travel some distance to ferry terminals. Booking in was quick and onboarding even faster. Seating is quite compact on board the engines noisy, but they do provide earplugs. Big Al’s top tips Book well in advance for cheapest fares and sit towards the rear of the plane for best views out of the windows. The left hand side of the plane has the best views.

Not recommended - A very expensive way to get to Victoria. It’s just a seaplane ride not a tour. Do it direct through Harbour Air and save $$$. The flight was also 45 mins late leaving Vancouver
