5.00This was fabulous, The only negative part is it's only about 20 minutes in the air. For the cost, longer air time would have been nice. But, still a great experience and I highly recommend. NOTE. This is an international airport, make sure you have your government issued ID, even for the Harbour tour. Fun fact: it's the only international airport in the world that can be closed due to whales entering the Harbour.
It is wonderful! We had...

1.00Harbour Air is not at fault for my poor review. A mistake by Viator put me at the pier after the plane had left. I never got to take the aerial tour I had booked six months in advance. My ticket said 5:30 with check in 40 minutes in advance. I was there at 10 minutes before 5 and the plane had already left.
So Fun!

5.00It’s not a 747. A little up and down & side to side is all a great part of the experience. Such amazing views!
Avoid this trip if they are fully booking it with 14 passengers!

2.00This seaplane experience is way too crowded. I was part of 14 passengers and that was excessive as the seats on the plane were more suited to a 10 year olds size. They jammed 3 passengers in every row which was ridiculous as the out side passengers dominated their small windows and the passenger in the middle could not see much scenery. My knees where jammed against the seat in front of me as the seats where not far enough apart. I personally would not put more than 8 passengers in this seaplane.
