What To Expect
Head to Victoria’s Inner Harbour and board a classic seaplane, seating up to 14 passengers for an intimate and scenic journey. Flights depart daily every hour from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., giving you the flexibility to select the departure time that works best for you.
Take to the skies and enjoy sweeping views of Ogden Point as you depart. Capture stunning aerial photos of the iconic Fairmont Empress, with its ivy-covered façade, and the grand British Columbia Parliament Buildings, beautifully illuminated at night with thousands of lights.
Your captain then flies north over the lush Gulf Islands in the Salish Sea. Along the way, spot the striking green towers of the Lions Gate Bridge and the forested Brockton Peninsula in Stanley Park, before making a smooth landing in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour on Burrard Inlet.
Unlike ferry travel which can take up to four hours to reach downtown Vancouver — this seaplane flight is fast and convenient, with the terminal located right beside Canada Place, placing you in the heart of the city.
Enjoy your stay, and don’t forget to book your return flight!
