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.

The flight with Harbour Air!!! Great views of the Gulf Islands. Smooth take off and landing. Great service at the terminal. Victoria is a beautiful city. Easy to visit on foot. Mile 0 at Beacon Hill Park - reminder of Terry Fox's final goal. Our bus driver was excellent!!! Very patient and helpful with all passengers. Highly professionnal. Great driver in cramped spaces. On the minus side... returning by bus and ferry was long and exhausting; round trip by air would have been worth the extra$$$. The description of the itinerary made no mention that we could have asked the bus driver to drop us off at our hotel instead of the Fairmont Vancouver Hotel. Thankfully, he offered to do so.

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.
