FUN way to travel from Whistler to Vancouver! - During a recent vacation, my wife and I took a small group tour (bus ride) from Vancouver to Whistler. Instead of returning with the tour group, we boarded the Harbour Air seaplane and flew from Whistler to Vancouver. We loved the 30-minute plane ride with stunning views of the snow covered mountains. The take-off and landing was smooth as butter. We highly recommend this seaplane experience!

fantastic - We took a one way trip by seaplane from Vancouver to whistler, landing on green lake.
Stunning scenery on the 40 minute journey.
A shuttle is provided from the lake to whistler, but we walked as it was a gorgeous day.
Great value.
We then took the coach back to Vancouver later in the day. Very scenic.

Feeling and watching nature from another perspective - The flight in total, the view above the mountains. I also liked the turbulences because you feel one part of nature in these small airplanes

Wow. - Wow what a trip. Everything was so smooth. Free coffee and cake whilst waiting to board. Friendly and helpful staff from check in to pilot and driver.
Stunning scenery and pilot made every effort to make sure we got great views of the glacier and mountains.
You land on a lake a few minutes drive from the village centre but get shuttled in and back on a minibus.
Plenty of time to explore whistler including doing the gondola trip to the top. Equally wonderful flight back.
