3.00Beautiful day perfect flight stunning views. However our pilot provided no info on anything we (all tourists) were seeing. He had a young woman seated next to him and he only provided info to her (both had headphones). Disappointed
Stunning trip

4.00A long day out but well worth it. The sea plane flight was noisy but the views over Vancouver Island were amazing. Victoria itself was beautiful with some beautiful and historic architecture. The coach and ferry return to Vancouver was long but we got another perspective on Vancouver Island. A really great day.
