Loved the Harbour Air experience. Loved getting to downtown Victoria from downtown Vancouver in 45 minutes. Hated that I accidentally booked it through Travelocity and couldn’t change my flight because of that. Go directly to Harbour Air, DO NOT be seduced by Travelocity’s website. Book directly with the airline. It will give you the ability to make changes spur of the moment. Viator was an obstacle when we wanted to catch an earlier flight.

The price of a 30 minutes flight to Victoria was outrageous! Paid $600 for our round trip to Canada from California and paid $500 for a seaplane! One way with no help how to get back. It took us over five hours to get back to downtown. When we went to the desk help, she said that the price changes every hour! She didn't help us at all. Very upset and wouldn't recommend your company and the providers to anyone.

Flying in a seaplane was one of the highlights of our trip. Flew from Vancouver to Victoria. The flight saved us time (ferry and transportation from ferry terminal to Vancouver takes 3 hrs,). Seaplane is convenient and fun. Recommend staying more than a day if you can. Harbor tour in a water taxi is a great way to see planes coming and going.

The views! Takeoff and landing were smoother than expected and exhilarating! Seats are definitely tight on these planes but there's no bad spot for taking photos.

Harbour Air is a dishonest company. Our flight was canceled due to a bad weather. This is understandable and no problem. The huge problem is that they refused to cancel the flight and let us use other transportation to Victoria for three more hours. All the flights prior to ours were canceled on the spot but they kept us despite that there was absolutely no chance for weather to improve. Sure, they have a right to delay up to 3 hours but in this case they just robbed us from spending half a day in Victoria for no good reason.
