Victoria: Extended Scenic Seaplane Tour - City, Coast & Islands

About this experience

Victoria Extended Scenic Seaplane Tour This 35-minute seaplane flight from Victoria Harbour offers spectacular aerial views of British Columbia's capital city, its coastline, and surrounding islands. You'll soar over downtown Victoria's heritage buildings, the Inner Harbour, and continue across the Saanich Peninsula to Sidney's coastal communities. The extended route covers Victoria's city centre, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the famous Butchart Gardens from above. Your pilot navigates over Saanich Inlet, forested parks, and the sparkling waters of the Salish Sea, providing panoramic views of Vancouver Island's diverse geography. Large windows ensure every passenger gets clear sightlines for photography and sightseeing. The seaplane takes off and lands on water from Victoria Harbour's waterfront base, making this a unique way to see the region's urban and natural highlights in just over half an hour.
