Review from Emily-Anne P.

I love flying. It has to be my favourite thing in the whole world, and as someone who commutes back and forth between Vancouver and Victoria every weekend I do fly from time to time as a treat.
Harbour Air is the only way to go, their flights leave downtown Victoria every 20 minutes, and now with West Coast Air they have the twin otter planes, which are a nice treat if you get on one of them.
Flight is about 35 minutes from harbour to harbour and is absolutely worth it.
I recommend grabbing ear plugs, they often have them, or get some of your own and a book. It's quite loud and you might want to read if its cloudy.
Otherwise, sit back and enjoy! -

This week was my first riding the seaplane to Victoria, and I am DEFINITELY doing this again!
NO security hassles, complimentary Wi-Fi at the terminals, convenient location right at the inner harbor and you can check-in up to 25 mins before departure... I like this!
The seaplanes save a TON of time and you're right in the inner harbor - I could pull my suitcase across the street to my hotel faster than a cab can get me there!
The only downside is the schedule is highly dependent on the winds... they can only fly in smooth weather. But if the weather permits, I highly recommend it. Lovely view for the 30 min flight from Victoria to Vancouver. -

Because of my flawed travel planning, we got to take a seaplane from Victoria, BC to Vancouver, BC. What an amazing ride! It was $160 per person and about a 35 min flight total. The views were amazing and the crew friendly. The inside is super small but not uncomfortable really. I'm now a fan of seaplanes and can't wait to ride in one again sometime soon! Do it!!

THE way to arrive in Victoria is by float plane. Sure ferries are nice... (cough) No really, take a float plane at least once in your life. Bring your camera and be transported into a spread from Beautiful British Columbia Magazine.
