Never been in a floatplane, so picking the worlds largest floatplane company was an obvious move. I was delighted that we were able to upgrade to a panorama classic tour. I asked on check in if I could sit in the co-pilots seat which they said I could. That meant that I got to here all the air traffic control... More

If you want a truly great way to see the lower mainland by air call harbour air and make a reservation. We stopped at saltspring island and then to maple bay on vancouver island. There is truly not a better sight than flying over the gulf islands of the west coast. If you have the time I recommend an adventure... More

Firstly, I have already written the review on the Boathouse restaurant, which was awful. Thankfully getting there was anything but. Daniel, our pilot was very informative, and the landing in particular was as smooth as silk. Great job. Todd, the driver of the limousine that collected us from the restaurant was bang on time and very welcoming. My partner was... More

The sea plane tour was the icing on the cake at the end of our tour of British Columbia. There was just myself with my husband and the pilot on a beautiful clear sunny day. The views of the city are magnificent and the whole experience well worth the cost. More

The best way to travel from Vancouver to Victoria: it's fast and direct, VERY scenic, thrilling and exciting journey.......what more can I say? Yes, it does cost 10 times more compared to the ferry, but definitely worth the money if you can afford to fly with Harbour Air. The seaplane terminal is conveniently located right beside the new Vancouver Convention... More

Didn't care where we went, I just wanted to fly in a 1949 Beaver so took a return flight to Sechelt from vancouver. Wonderful experience, beautiful scenery and absolutely hassle-free flying. More

Ok, so lets start with the obvious...it's blooming expensive to fly from Vancouver to Vancouver Island! But it's worth every cent!! We arrived early so enjoyed the free wi-fi and complimentary coffee and doughnuts in the terminal...great way to start a trip! Then it was time to board which was very quick and easy. Unfortunatley, my partner and I were... More

A great way to see Vancouver (weather permitting) is via seaplane. Flights are numerous and can take you around Vancouver, to Vancouver Island, Victoria, or almost anywhere you want. The seaplanes are located just off the Vancouver Convention Center. Bring a map because the pilots (unlike the Vancouver tour bus drivers) are not into doing a point by point report... More

We walked from our hotel the Westin at Coal Harbor to the sea plane terminal-(nice walk along the waterfront). The ride was fantastic. We went over the city and surrounding areas- Stanley Park- then went our to the mountains and through the crevices- it was nothing but snow you seemed so isolated but seconds you could be back along the...
