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 Today my husband and I took Harbour Air to Whistler. We left at 9:30 and returned at 7:30. Chris was our pilot up. He did an excellent job. A very smooth ride. Coming back Craig was our pilot again we had a wonderful trip. He had to take a different route due to the clouds which worked out great since we saw different scenery. I highly recommend this trip instead of driving to the mountains. Wonderful flight and so very cool!

5 Star Rating Wow!! What an experience. Upon arrival at Vancouver, we spotted the planes and just had to go for it. Online we made the booking of which the payment didn’t come true. After contacting customer service, who responded really quickly, everything was fixed. The next morning with a group of five, after a really good flight safety briefing, we were ready for take off and an amazing experience. We will definitely be back for another scenic tour. Thanx Harbour Air Seaplanes, for the great service.

5 Star Rating Ok, this was the best experience. First the booking and prices were simple and not crazy expensive. Checking was fast and easy. Staff were so nice and helpful. Planes left on time. If you have never tried to fly on a sea plane you have to add this to your bucket list. A dream come true. We flew from Vancouver harbour to Victoria harbour. Flight was about 35 minutes and you get off right in centre of town. Win in my books

5 Star Rating Last month I decided to surprise my girlfriend with an epic life long memory of touring our beautiful city from a birds eye view. The extended panoramic tour around the City of Vancouver was electrifying, and an experience second to none. It was such an amazing opportunity that later that evening when I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me she said "YES" now my fiance and I are planning our next getaway which will include flying Harbour Air. We are so appreciative to the entire Harbour Air Seaplane team, and want to give special recognition to two outstanding individuals Annabelle and Jackie, they both went above our expectations showing next level resolution skills, understanding, and a desire to help. Our experience would not have been possible without their assistance. Thank you

5 Star Rating We had such a an amazing experience on this sea plane! We took the coastal mountains tour and it was well worth it! It was a bit cloudy out so they notified us that the route would change a little bit but they let us know far in advance to be safe and make sure we were okay with that which of course we were. The pilot was so nice and explained everything to us, she let me sit in front and the views were just spectacular! The flight was so smooth and we even got to land out in the open to see how it felt and then taking off again which was a fun experience. I'm excited to go again on another tour to see what else we can experience on their tours and this great company.
