Looking for things to do in Vancouver?

If you're looking for things to do in Vancouver that are fun and different, then we have what you need! Whether you're a first-time visitor, a returning visitor or a businessperson with time on your hands: we can show you a side of the area that you've never seen before!

Harbour Air's float planes (seaplanes) operate out of Vancouver, Victoria, Prince Rupert and Nanaimo, and have been providing reliable services to local residents and sightseers since 1981. Staffed by experienced pilots who know the region intimately, the floatplane allows visitors to view areas that would otherwise be hard to get to. More personal than most airlines, Harbour Air's seaplanes offer you a different kind of aviation experience!

Today Harbour Air is the largest all-seaplane airline in Canada. One can experience adventure in the Khutzeymateen (Valley of the Grizzly Bear) in Northern British Columbia, search for Orca whales off Victoria, or spend an afternoon on a secret lake to the north, enjoying a picnic lunch. And of course we offer scheduled flights between Vancouver and Victoria, Nanaimo and the Gulf Islands.

Over the years Harbour Air have built up a fund of experience in the most scenic and spectacular locations in this area of Canada. A float plane flight is an ideal way to experience the most unspoilt parts of the region, away from the crowds. Unlike the usual type of sightseeing trip, this is one you won't easily forget. It's a little different from the average tourist trip: a true adventure (but with close attention to safety, naturally). A flight or tour with Harbour Air is one of the very best things to do in Vancouver!

Vancouver tours by float plane

Our Vancouver tours offer a short aerial circle of the city and its surrounding mountains. For nature enthusiasts, we have flights to Victoria to join a whale-watching expedition. Or how about a "fly and dine" trip to tranquil Bowen Island nearby? Or our half-hour "Victoria Panorama"? We also run a regular scheduled service (between Vancouver and neighbouring areas). So let us sweep you up in the air on a Harbour Air floatplane and explore the area from a new perspective!

In a float plane you can go places that most people can only dream of visiting. So why stick with the crowd? Make this the trip where you branch out and try something a little different. Because you don't just want a trip: you want an experience! And Harbour Air has the expertise and the local knowledge to give you that experience. After all, isn't that what a vacation is all about?
