Views and convenience. - The views from the seaplane were terrific. It made for a short flight back to the mainland instead of a three hour coach/ferry trip.

Fun and super convenient - Just so much easier than the ferry! Worth the (large) premium if you are doing a day trip from Vancouver to the Bouchard Gardens and Victoria.

Fantastic First Flight in a Seaplane - A first for us, a seaplane transfer from Victoria to Vancouver, a journey time of 28 minutes.
A smooth take off, but a loud take off, as the engine comes to full throttle and after a short bounce in the sea we are up. Islands pass us by and in no time whatsoever Vancouver is beneath us and it’s time for the landing, as smooth as the take off and then we taxi to our floating dock.
Thank you Harbour Air for allowing me to tick off one of those things on my bucket list. Special thanks too for allowing us to leave our luggage with you once we had checked out from our hotel on the morning of the 29th April. Our flight was at 16.00. We didn’t experience any issues with Harbour Air as we had paid the extra baggage allowance, plus we had priority boarding. As staff were friendly and the price we paid for the flight we thought was reasonable.
My only disappointment was on this day and on this type of seaplane 2 pilots are required, thus depriving me of the chance to sit up front with the captain. As you can probably tell I still enjoyed the whole experience. I know I’m a self confessed aviation geek and proud of it.

Read the fine print on baggage and don't expect any common sense. - Do not fly Harbour Air if you have any kind of luggage. At $5 per lb, these crooks will screw you for every red cent.
The customer service agent suggested that I buy a whole new ticket, with no credit for the ticket that was already purchased. For an additional $150 on top of the $190 ticket, it would have been more convenient just to fly out through YYJ. Even the big airlines use common sense when it comes to changing tickets and not screwing the customer.
The combination of the ticket and luggage fee was now the combined cost higher then the most expensive ticket that they offer. When asked to get on an earlier flight, the reply was no, even though there was plenty of room on all previous out going flights to Vancouver. Customer service a big fat 0. Taking care of the customer after gouging the customers another 0.
