Itinerary

Pass by

Your journey begins at the stunning Green Lake, located just a short walk from the renowned Nicklaus North Golf Club and the Jack Nicklaus Clubhouse. Take your time to check in early and relax at the beautiful new patio overlooking Green Lake, offering a serene atmosphere for lunch while enjoying sweeping views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The natural beauty of the area sets a peaceful tone for your scenic flight ahead.

Pass by

Enjoy breathtaking views of the North Shore Mountains that frame the northern edge of Vancouver. With their rugged peaks and dense forests, the mountains offer a sharp contrast to the urban beauty of the city. Depending on your route, you may get a close-up view of Grouse Mountain, known for its ski resort and stunning hiking trails.

Pass by

Prepare for a striking view of the iconic Lions Gate Bridge, which spans Burrard Inlet and connects downtown Vancouver to the North Shore. From your vantage point in the air, the sweeping views of the bridge’s towering suspension cables, lush surrounding forests, and the sparkling waters below will take your breath away.

Pass by

One of Vancouver's most beloved landmarks, Stanley Park is a lush, expansive green space surrounded by the waters of Burrard Inlet. From the sky, you’ll get sweeping views of the park’s towering trees, winding pathways, and the famous Seawall—a scenic route that hugs the coastline. The park also offers stunning views of Vancouver’s skyline and the majestic mountains beyond.

Pass by

As you approach your destination, you’ll fly past the Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre in Coal Harbour. Situated steps from iconic landmarks like Canada Place, the Vancouver Convention Centre, and Jack Poole Plaza—home to the Olympic Flame from the 2010 Winter Olympics—this terminal is right in the heart of the city’s vibrant waterfront. The terminal sits along Vancouver’s famous seawall, offering panoramic views of Stanley Park, the North Shore mountains, and the bustling harbor. Once inside, relax in the spacious passenger lounge, browse the gift shop, or enjoy a refreshing drink at the Cockpit Café before exploring the city.

A flight to remember.

We were on our way to Vancouver to catch a flight the next day and decided to fly instead of taking a bus or shuttle. It was an experience we won't forget.
