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.

Nice float plane ride to Whistler - Sea plane is an easy way to get to Whistler from Vancouver. It’s a beautiful ride up to Whistler and there’s a shuttle to take you to the village.

One of the best things we did - One of the best things we did whilst visiting Vancouver. Small plane but flight was very smooth. Saw amazing vista's as we flew over the mountains. Then had plenty of time to see Whistler, have breakfast, go up Blackcomb Gondala, go walk and swim in a lake.... It was a wonderful day and well worth every penny.

Great experience ultimately let down by the operating company - Overall this trip was an excellent experience. The only let down was what I believe to be the completely poor customer service experience of Harbour Air. The return flight was cancelled due to poor weather which was understandable but absolutely no offer of assistance was received on how to get back from Whistler to Vancouver. Harbour Air are a let down to the reputation of Canadian hospitality.
