Harbour Air Seaplanes Sightseeing Tours
Harbour Air Seaplanes offers a variety of tours with spectacular views of Vancouver and the surrounding areas
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 out of 5
A truly memorable experience! I went on a short scenic tour over Vancouver and I loved it. The crew were very kind and helpful, particularly with boarding and alighting the aircraft with my sight loss. The flight was extremely enjoyable and the views were mesmerising. A must-do, unique experience when visiting the city.

Loved this experience. We managed to get a short notice scheduled day return flight from Vancouver to Nanaimo at a price that was less than half what we had originally booked in Scotland before the company had ceased trading. Having just been refunded on my credit card we were able to pay for this with money to spare. The reviews we had read were mixed so got there well before departure times and had no issues

Harbour Air is a fantastic way to see Vancouver. The views from the seaplane are absolutely breathtaking, offering a new perspective of the city, mountains, and ocean. The staff is also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommended!!

We took a 20-minute scenic flight over Vancouver in a light aircraft — and it was an incredible experience. The weather that day was perfect, with clear skies and crisp air, giving us wide, unobstructed views of the city and surrounding areas. From above, we had a stunning aerial view of downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park, and the diverse landscapes stretching out into the suburbs. Takeoff and landing were much smoother than I expected; I was a bit nervous about turbulence on a small plane, but the entire ride was surprisingly stable and comfortable. Although the flight was short, it offered a unique and memorable perspective of the city. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Vancouver — just be sure to book online in advance to secure a spot!

Visited June 2025. Took a scenic flight over Vancouver. It was very beautiful, and we had great weather. The ride was very smooth, and we got a great view of the mountains and the city.
