Victoria to Vancouver Seaplane Flight

This 35-minute seaplane flight is a quick and easy way to travel from Victoria to Vancouver, and adds a little excitement to boot. In Victoria, capture prime aerial views of Inner Harbour, Fairmont Empress hotel and BC Parliament Buildings. Fly north over the Salish Sea and the Gulf Islands, and then make a splashy ending at Vancouver’s Coal Harbour.

Head to Victoria’s Inner Harbour to board a classic de Havilland seaplane that seats a max of eight passengers. Planes depart daily every hour from 7:30am to 6:30pm, giving you ample flexibility in making your travel plans.

Take to the skies and admire the sprawling and picturesque Ogden Point port. As you leave Victoria, snap aerial shots of the Fairmont Empress, an iconic ivy-covered hotel in the area, and the neobaroque BC Parliament Buildings that sparkle at night with thousands of lightbulbs.

Your captain flies you north over the lush Gulf Islands in the Salish Sea. Spot the green towers of Lion’s Gate Bridge and Brockton Peninsula of Stanley Park, and then make a smooth landing in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour, part of Burrard Inlet. (If you had traveled by ferry, you'd land 45 minutes outside of the city — whereas this airline's terminal is located right beside Canada Place!)
