If you go for our suggested Harbourfront Walking Tour you will see many Harbour Air Seaplanes departing and arriving from their Coal Harbour Terminal. Perhaps this will stir up a yearning in you to go for a short (or not so short) scenic sightseeing flight.

If you do take a fancy to the idea of an aerial sightseeing tour of Vancouver, you will be in very good hands. Harbour Air has been operating in the Vancouver area for many years and has an impeccable safety record. They offer flights ranging from a quick 10 minute circle offering great views of downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park and the Harbourfront area all the way to flights into pristine alpine mountain lakes or across the Georgia Strait to Vancouver Island.

While this is not an inexpensive sightseeing option, it will certainly be a memorable experience that you may wish to consider if it's within your budget. Otherwise you may just want to enjoy watching the planes arrive and depart from their docks on the Vancouver waterfront. Check out the You Tube video below to see just how spectacular these flights are on a nice day.

Harbour Air Seaplanes Sightseeing Tours Reviews

Rated 4.6 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating Our check-in was not the best. The who checked us in was a little rude and did not treat us well. He definitely needs some customer service etiquette. But the pilot and everyone else were great and super friendly. We did the scenic view of Vancouver and it was the best!! A unique way of touring the city. Highly recommended! By the way if you are worried about seating and being able to get a good view, don’t worry because everyone was able to get a window seat and we were 10 in my group. The pilot even offered the co-pilot seat.

5 Star Rating Today my husband and I took Harbour Air to Whistler. We left at 9:30 and returned at 7:30. Chris was our pilot up. He did an excellent job. A very smooth ride. Coming back Craig was our pilot again we had a wonderful trip. He had to take a different route due to the clouds which worked out great since we saw different scenery. I highly recommend this trip instead of driving to the mountains. Wonderful flight and so very cool!

5 Star Rating I had the best time with Harbour Air — it’s been a highlight of my time visiting Vancouver this time. The views were just breathtaking and I was fortunate to have the chance to experience sitting up front with the pilot Chelsea who was awesome. The staff are super helpful and friendly, shoutout to Keeley. Can’t recommend it more — a must try if you have opportunity.

4 Star Rating Flying into Coal Harbour from Salt Spring was beautiful. Our pilot wasn't very friendly but it was a smooth flight. It was a good one-time experience. They are super strict about weight limits and will charge you for even 2 lbs over.

5 Star Rating Wow!! What an experience. Upon arrival at Vancouver, we spotted the planes and just had to go for it. Online we made the booking of which the payment didn’t come true. After contacting customer service, who responded really quickly, everything was fixed. The next morning with a group of five, after a really good flight safety briefing, we were ready for take off and an amazing experience. We will definitely be back for another scenic tour. Thanx Harbour Air Seaplanes, for the great service.
