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 4.7 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating The staff were great! The flight went well, it was smooth, on time, I loved the whole experience. I highly recommend. I can't wait until I have an excuse to fly with them again. I went from Vancouver to Tofino and back and the view, the mountains and the water it was all so beautiful. I read a couple of the bad reviews and would like to note that if you read the email you get after you book your flight it will tell you when you should arrive to check in and how much weight your bag can be and there is a fee if you're over weight also if you bring too much stuff you may not be able to take it all because weight always has to be considered with any type of plane. But they seem like they will do what they can to accommodate. Also, flights have the possibility of being cancelled at the last minute if the weather is bad enough that it isn't safe to fly. This is done so that planes dont crash and people dont die. So dont complain if you dont take the time to read the info they give you or if you don't understand when things are cancelled for your safety.

5 Star Rating Incredible experience! Vancouver has always been one of my favorite cities, and having done this tour twice makes me appreciate the city even more. Kudos to the crew for keeping us safe and for the beautiful scenic tour over the city. If you're visiting the city, or if you live here, this tour is a must!

5 Star Rating Such a WOW experience!! I’ve flown with Harbour Air twice now, once to Seattle and once to Nanaimo on the Island. The entire experience is just really enjoyable. The views are amazing. Getting from Vancouver to Victoria/Nanaimo/Seattle feels so quick and easy. Much easier than the more common routes by BC Ferry and bus. I love this experience and hope to do it again soon

5 Star Rating First time using Harbour Air and really enjoyed the short trip from Vancouver to Victoria! So convenient and very smooth flight! Definitely recommend them whenever you want to go to Victoria traveling light and planing to stay in the harbour area. No need to drive and take the ferry!

5 Star Rating 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.
