Fabulous day trip to Victoria

Published on Oct, 2024

The most memorable part of the trip was flying out of coal harbour into Vancouver island in the seaplane. All the timing worked well leaving us enough time to explore beautiful Victoria. The bus trip connector was seemless and much appreciated after long day.

Float plane to Victoria

Published on Sep, 2024

Great experience going on float plane from Vancouver to Victoria. Great views and land in the harbour only a few minutes walk from Victoria centre

Wonderful experience

Published on Sep, 2024

Flight was so smooth,stunning scenery, beautiful clear day. Excellent checkin procedures with helpful staff

Great seaplane experience

Published on Aug, 2024

Very efficient check-in process. The flight was on time. The journey was really smooth and a real experience. Greet landing. Our first seaplane experience - hopefully we will be back.

Victoria by sea plane, return by bus and ferry.

Published on Aug, 2024

Great option to experience a seaplane whilst getting to Vancouver Island quicker than the ferry. Bus return was delayed and a little chaotic, but got us back to the ferry in time. Our bus driver was clearly a little hassled by the delay, not helped by the bus station check in process - or lack of, and a number of passengers wanting drop-offs at different locations to their booked tickets once they realised he dropped at multiple places. Ferry ride was smooth and comfortable. Overall a great option to get to enjoy different travel options and to spend time in Victoria.
