Admire the spectacular panorama of downtown Victoria and the Strait of Juan de Fuca on this memorable half-hour (20-minute flight) seaplane trip. See the stunning rugged coastline and the inviting mountains in the distance. This is a small group tour with a maximum of 5 passengers per aircraft.
This half-hour trip (20-min flight) is an ideal introduction to seaplane aviation and includes spectacular vistas of Downtown Victoria and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, with the Olympic Mountains in the distance. Enjoy unique grand houses perched above rugged coastline. The exhilarating spray of the water is always a highlight during take-off and landing.
Not a small intimate plane, Large commuter plane, only 3 of us onboard, plenty of windows. Weather ceiling too low to fly over city or see majestic sights, not offered a cancellation or rescheduling. However, pilot gave us a nice scenic view of shoreline, small islands, harbor. I was disappointed because it also did not include a narrative

A fantastic way to see Victoria! The airport was well organised and the entire experience was amazing from the novelty of being in a seaplane to the spectacular views as your fly over Victoria. Well worth doing! Pilot Sean made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable for the flight too.

Very good tour. We really enjoyed the sights. The only improvement would be having some commentary during the tour, pointing out some of the highlights. We took a bus tour of the area the day before, and we had studied the map, but it would have been nice to confirm what we were seeing.

Great little trip and I got to sit in the co-pilot seat! everyone was very polite and professional, the plane was clean and take care of and the pilot was top notch. The tour was a little short for my liking, but other than that I've no complaints. I would recommend this tour for anyone who has never been in a sea plane before, it's an interesting experience.

We loved it! Beautiful blue skies and a smooth ride. One suggestion - a brief commentary as to what we were flying over would have been great. The safety orientation was via ipad and so perhaps just a brief note as to what we saw would be great. We know that the pilot had his priorities right safety.

Very smoothly run. Our pilot was very personable and whitty. The flight seemed to last longer than 20 minutes and we were able to see a fair portion of the southern part of the island. I was not aware of how large an operation Harbor Air was. A good tour overall.

Great views, nice people but too expensive. Short flight is not worth the cost.

Unfortunately the sky was cloudy, however it was still a great experience and the overall view of Victoria and the harbour was wonderful. The float plane was a little cramped however and the isle passengers had trouble seeing out.

Book 2 or 3 because you won't get enough.

A truly great experience. This was my first time in a seaplane and it was well worth the money. It's really cool to takeoff and land in water. The only thing that could make the fight better would be a narration of the beautiful sites, but the engine is too loud to hear the pilot.
