Vancouver: Scenic Seaplane Tour

The Vancouver Scenic Seaplane Tour is a 20-minute floatplane flight departing from Harbour Air Seaplane Terminal at Canada Place in downtown Vancouver. Harbour Air is one of North America's largest seaplane operators, running scheduled and charter flights from this central waterfront terminal. The flight covers the city's skyline, the downtown peninsula, and the Coast Mountains to the north, with views that shift depending on light and weather conditions. For a broader look at things to do in Vancouver, the city pairs well with this kind of aerial orientation before exploring at ground level.

During the 20-minute flight, passengers see the urban grid of downtown, the waterways of Burrard Inlet, and the forested mountain terrain that frames the city to the north and east. No two flights look identical, as cloud cover, season, and time of day all affect visibility and colour. The tour departs on foot from the terminal, so hotel transfers are not included and guests should plan their own transport to Canada Place. Luggage storage is provided at the terminal, and a sustainability fee is included in the booking. Tickets are non-refundable within the timeslot window, so check the schedule carefully when booking. The flight is not wheelchair accessible.
