Full description

Start your journey with Harbour Air for a unique, scenic flight from Vancouver to Victoria, BC. Departing from our downtown Vancouver terminal in Coal Harbour, your adventure begins in one of the city’s most iconic locations, right by Canada Place and the Vancouver Convention Centre. Situated along Vancouver’s famous seawall, the Harbour Air terminal offers easy access to some of the city’s most renowned landmarks, with panoramic views of Stanley Park and the North Shore mountains — a perfect introduction to your journey.

Once you board the seaplane, the excitement builds as you take off from the water and soar above Vancouver’s vibrant waterfront. The view of the city fades as you ascend, and the stunning vistas of the Salish Sea and the Gulf Islands come into focus. Flying over lush forests, pristine beaches, and rolling hills of gold and green, the 35-minute journey offers a front-row seat to the natural beauty of British Columbia. Whether it’s your first time flying by seaplane or you’re a seasoned traveler, the views are always a breathtaking experience.

As you head south, the flight takes you past the green towers of the iconic Lion’s Gate Bridge and the picturesque Brockton Peninsula of Stanley Park. The flight offers a bird’s-eye view of Vancouver’s sparkling waterfront before continuing over the peaceful waters toward Victoria. Once you approach the city, you’ll be treated to stunning views of Victoria’s Inner Harbour, the ivy-clad Fairmont Empress Hotel, and the historic BC Parliament Buildings. At night, these landmarks twinkle with thousands of lights, adding to the magic of the experience.

After just 35 minutes in the air, your pilot will expertly guide the seaplane in for a smooth landing in Victoria’s Inner Harbour. Harbour Air’s floating terminal offers incredible waterfront views, placing you right in the heart of Victoria’s charming downtown. From here, you’ll be just steps away from local shops, restaurants, and attractions that make the city so special.

The convenience and speed of flying with Harbour Air are unmatched. Avoid the crowds and long waits of airports or ferries — your flight is direct, scenic, and quick, with no hassle at all. Every seat on the seaplane offers incredible views of the stunning landscape below, making the journey just as memorable as the destination.

Whether you’re flying from Vancouver to Victoria or the other way around, Harbour Air offers a seamless, stress-free travel experience. Take to the skies, enjoy the unparalleled beauty of British Columbia from above, and arrive in style at Victoria’s Inner Harbour — your adventure starts the moment you board.

This journey is also available in the opposite direction, from Victoria to Vancouver.

Very professional operation, small but decently comfortable planes, dont forget to put use the ear buds (they are included in the seat infront of you) as it gets quite loud, all in all a great experience and extremely well run.
