If you go for our suggested Harbourfront Walking Tour you will see many Harbour Air Seaplanes departing and arriving from their Coal Harbour Terminal. Perhaps this will stir up a yearning in you to go for a short (or not so short) scenic sightseeing flight.

If you do take a fancy to the idea of an aerial sightseeing tour of Vancouver, you will be in very good hands. Harbour Air has been operating in the Vancouver area for many years and has an impeccable safety record. They offer flights ranging from a quick 10 minute circle offering great views of downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park and the Harbourfront area all the way to flights into pristine alpine mountain lakes or across the Georgia Strait to Vancouver Island.

While this is not an inexpensive sightseeing option, it will certainly be a memorable experience that you may wish to consider if it's within your budget. Otherwise you may just want to enjoy watching the planes arrive and depart from their docks on the Vancouver waterfront. Check out the You Tube video below to see just how spectacular these flights are on a nice day.

Harbour Air Seaplanes Sightseeing Tours Reviews

Rated 4.6 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating Note that they may not fly if the visibility is too poor (fog, lighting, etc) - I flew HA to Whistler and it was an awesome experience. They took off right on time and the check in was very smooth. You get a sightseeing activity while getting where you need to go! I would use them again if traveling to someplace they fly to :)

5 Star Rating Unforgettable experience! Had a lovely tour above Vancouver. Our pilot told us about the surroundings and took his time to show us around. 10/10 would recommend.

5 Star Rating Harbour Air is always a treat to fly. You can't beat the views (of the city and nature because you fly a bit lower) and convenience of flying downtown-to-downtown. The seaplanes themselves are also unique; taking off and landing on water is an adventure that never gets goal. That said, being in a smaller aircraft means that you're in a tighter space and more susceptible to weather. It's not unsafe, but if you get motion sickness or claustrophobia, I would beware. Tickets can also be pricier, but can't beat the experience!

5 Star Rating Worth every penny. Life time experience. Both helicopter and seaplane ride is worth doing in Canada. I did helicopter ride in Toronto and now Seaplane ride in Vancouver. Thanks to Harbour Air for the experience and booking lady from INDIA who helped me in the seamless process.

5 Star Rating It was my first time flying on a seaplane, taking it to Victoria. Check-in was smooth, and the whole experience was quick and cool. The views from above were absolutely breathtaking. It was also really cool to see where the sea water meets the river water. I would definitely do that again.
