Great experience. Had...
Susan_W, Sep 2023
Great experience. Had never flown on a seaplane. When I purchased the ticket I did not see a weight limit, so I had to pay more for the flight when we got there.
The quickest and the best way to Vancouver from Victoria

Scenic Travel Experience
Yolanda_S, Jul 2023
My husband, teen age sons and I took the sea plane from Victoria to Vancouver on our (first) trip to Canada. The location and check-in was extremely convenient, views while in the air were truly an experience in and of itself, and it was quicker than the fairy. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 is that my son was queasy. That aside, I highly recommend it.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Yolanda, Thank you for your five-star review. We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the experience. We are so happy to hear you love our services and convenience of flying. We appreciate the recommendation, and we look forward to seeing you the next time you're in Vancouver.

Great trip! This was such a fun way to get from Victoria to Vancouver harbor, and also much easier and more convenient on both ends than getting to and from the ferry. Highly recommended!

Kathryn_L, Jun 2023
Excellent flight and experience. First time on a seaplane. Loading off and on, and extensive luggage were all efficiently handled. Pilot allowed me to sit in the cockpit. Very friendly helpful ground crew as well. Even though it was cloudy and rainy, we enjoyed the flight and scenery

Great experience - check your booking
Bruno_L, Aug 2022
We changed the date via Viator and even though I had an email from Viator confirming the change, it had not been notified to the seaplane company. Fortunately the seaplane company were kind enough to make the change at the last minute, otherwise our tickets would have been lost. So, piece of advice: DO really confirm your booking in advance!
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Bruno, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent experience with Viator. Our team is genuinely dedicated to providing guests with the best possible service, and we are thrilled our team were able to accommodate your date change. Hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back aboard soon! - Harbour Air Seaplanes
Conviently located
Michael_L, Aug 2022
After arriving in Victoria by BC Ferry, we spent a great day touring the island ending downtown where the seaplane port was conveniently located. The staff was friendly and efficient. The flight was excellent, giving us a birds eye view of what we had seen from aboard the BC Ferry that morning. The location of the air terminals were conviently located in both cities. Well done to all!
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Michael_L, Thank you for your five star review! The convenience of our service and exceptional staff are some of the many things our guests appreciate, and we are happy to hear you think so as well. We look forward to seeing you again soon. - Harbour Air Seaplanes

We loved our short trip from Victoria to Vancouver. The pilots and staff are very friendly and helpful. Very smooth flight at 9am and wonderful views since we flew so low. Will do this again whenever I am in the area.

Appalling arrangements from viator
Catherine_M, Jul 2022
We paid a lot of money for sea plane flights and whale watching-trip of a lifetime. However, sloppy incompetent arrangements with Viator who had not booked the correct flight time out which meant we would have missed the whale watching trip. Also no return flight had been booked! A shocking and stressful experience. The lovely staff at Vancouver air re-arranged flights and whale watching on another tour which was great in the end, no thanks to viator. We had to pay for a taxi from the boat to the sea plane, our day was cut short. Will never use viator again and publicise a message to friends, colleagues, family.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Catherine, thank you for sharing this with us. We are truly sorry to hear of the booking error. While not an ideal start to your adventure, we're pleased to hear our team jumped into action to make it right for you all and ensured you were able to take part in your Whale Watching excursion. We appreciate you choosing to travel with us, and if you'd like to discuss your experience with us directly, please do contact us at customercare@harbourair.com. - Harbour Air Seaplanes
