5.00This was an amazing sea plane experience that I would highly recommend. The check in at the Harbour Air Terminal was easy. As passengers we got complimentary drinks. We could have had a light breakfast, such as a muffin. The views during the flight were spectacular and the take off and landing were extremely smooth. A shuttle was provided to and from Whistler to the Green Lake where the sea plane was based for the day. It was interesting to see Whistler but our main purpose was to experience a sea plane flight. Great trip.
Fly to Whistler via Harbour Air, you won't regret it!

5.00Such a smooth, quiet flight, much calmer than i imagined. The landing on green lake was so smooth, not as bumpy as bitumen. Highly recommend 👌

5.00We had a flight delay due to bad weather in Whistler so our day was shortened, but, first timers on sea plane was an amazing experience, a real must do! On arrival at Whistler we went to Peak to Peak via gondola and chairlift, well worth it but be aware it takes a few hours and wear sensible shoes as part is hiking territory.
