Great experience with plenty of choice - We took the ferry to Victoria from downtown Vancouver which took nearly 6 hours, most of which was spent on busses, so thought we'd check out the return by seaplane Great decision. We went into the terminal and the young lady that helped us was clear and helpful. Flights were pretty regular and (we thought) not too expensive. The return took us about 90-120 minutes, in total, and was a cool, and much quicker, ferry alternative. Our plane was a 12 seater and despite being at the rear (seats are first come first choice) we were able to take some great photos. It was an nice day and take off and landing was as smooth as silk, which may not be the case on other days. We had luggage which cost extra but I'm sure not an issue if you're going on a tour.

Views to die for - it was quite stunning 9so is the price but it is worth doing once, just for the fantastic views). Also the only way to get between Victoria and Vancouver in a reasonable time.

Nice view but cramped seat - Nice view but seats were too cramped and not the half hour we paid for. Too bad, I expected more.

I miss the old HA that wasn’t so focused on profit gains. - Harbour Air used to be a good option for locals who needed to get to the island for work. I miss when HA was more about taking care of its customers with reasonable rates and exceptional service. Now it seems more about making money and gaining a profit from visiting tourists. If you need to get to Victoria for business or work, helijet is hands down the better option as the price is similar (or cheaper) and weight restrictions aren’t as ridiculous.
