Fun experience in Victoria - We booked a seaplane tour last minute and we’re so glad we did. It was such a cool, unique experience. Check in and boarding were quick and easy. The pilot gave us an overview of everything we’d be seeing before we took off and they circle back so you can see everything regardless of which side of the plane you’re on.

Good experience - Overall a good experience but seats a very small, little leg room especially when the passenger in front of you weighs 400 lbs and his seat presses against your legs and knees. View is good from windows. Pilot is courteous. There is no narration on t ge tour. Worth the price but comfort could be better.

Aerial views of British Columbia - Great fun - terrific views of Victoria and the area around it. Everybody on the plane had a decent view and barring a couple of moments it was a very smooth flight. A bit on the expensive side but not excessively so - well worth the time.

Think Twice if Tall or Claustrophobic - My boyfriend and I had to get off the plane. The seats were so small and it was super cramped. He’s 6’2 and had zero leg room and I’m claustrophobic, so I just couldn’t do it. Ventilation was uncomfortable too. The staff was nice enough to reimburse us and even gave us a free drink ticket for the inconvenience. I’m sure the flight was awesome, but if you’re claustrophobic or tall, it may not be for you.

bad experience - I struggled with how to rate this, but ultimately it comes down to my actual experience, not what it could have been. I booked this seaplane for a group of 4, spending $600, and it was extremely disappointing. The plane has 13 seats across 5 rows with 4 middle seats. A group of 6 boarded first and took all the window seats, then a group of 3 took the rest. My entire group was left with the 4 middle seats and we were all separated. The flight was uncomfortable from start to finish. The larger group chatted over us, held hands/reached across us, and took photos with us in the background of every shot. We couldn’t take a single decent picture of the views, which is the whole point of the experience, and we could barely see out the windows. For the price, I expected better organization, like assigned seating or boarding from front to back, to make things fair. Instead, we paid $600 to sit in the middle of strangers’ chaos and completely miss out on the experience. If you book, I recommend waiting near the boarding area to try and secure a window seat.
