Take to the skies for a 30-minute seaplane experience featuring a 20-minute scenic flight over Vancouver’s skyline, harbour, mountains, coastline, and nearby islands.
Getting started
Arrive at the Vancouver Harbour Seaplane Centre at least 40 minutes before your scheduled departure for check-in. Since large bags aren’t permitted onboard, you can leave them at the terminal using the complimentary luggage storage. Before boarding, your pilot will provide a safety orientation and explain what to expect during the water taxi, takeoff, and flight. Once you’re ready, board the seaplane and get set for a scenic flight over Vancouver.
What to expect
Vancouver Panorama Seaplane Tour
Vancouver looks completely different from the air. During the 20-minute scenic flight, you’ll rise above the harbour and downtown skyline before taking in sweeping views of the surrounding mountains, coastline, and nearby islands. The aerial route also offers a unique perspective of Vancouver’s stadium district, particularly during the 2026 soccer tournament period, when games are being hosted in the city.
