Awesome.

It was a wonderful experience. The ground crew was very friendly and helpful, and the pilot was experienced and very pleasant. We received a lot of information about the plane beforehand and had a very enjoyable flight. We'd love to come back.

Family Flight Was Fantastic

Great experience from start to finish. Check-in was easy and the staff was welcoming. Our pilot did the safety briefing and then loaded us into the plane with my daughter being the co-pilot (she was excited!). The scenery is amazing and it's a cool way to see Vancouver.

Such a treat to be able to ride in a seaplane and view Vancouver from above. Experiencing the take off and landing was definitely the highlight.

Awesome time in the sky!

My husband had this on his bucket list & I didn't due to fear of heights. He talked me into it as we were walking by. The staff was able to accommodate us within an hour. The staff was amazing! Our pilot was so kind. I said I was afraid and he made me his co-pilot and had me sit upfront with him. It was the best experience and I conquered my fears. We took lots of pictures during the flight and on the ground with the pilot and plane. Definitely recommend this company.

Seaplane Trip Over The Vancouver Skyline

This was a fantastic experience to see the Vancouver Skyline from a different perspective. It was easy to book, check in was swift and there was a 30 minute wait in comfortable seats just like a mini airport lounge. The pilot took pictures of us in front of the seaplane before we boarded The plane held the pilot and up to 5 passengers and as the other 4 people were couples, I, as a solo passenger got to sit next to the pilot. The passengers in the back were advised to wear earplugs that were provided whereas I was able to wear the co pilots headset which I preferred The day was bright and sunny so the take off and landing were smooth and the views were amazing. Would well recommend this trip

Best experience of the best city. Picturesque views from the top and over the top experience made it special. Best seat is at the back of the plane.

A great, short, memorable fly over Vancouver harbor. It's loud, so if that's a problem, bring ear plugs. Me? I would have been happy strapped right behind the propeller. Well organized and executed. Parking around there is a nightmare, so plan on arriving early and paying through the nose if you are driving. But all in all, wonderfully worth it.
