Views and convenience. - The views from the seaplane were terrific. It made for a short flight back to the mainland instead of a three hour coach/ferry trip.

Book the flight directly on harbour air website - We fell into the tourist trap by booking it as a ‘tour’. In fact you can safe lots of money by just going onto website directly and book a flight. It’s the same flight. The flight itself is a worthwhile experience. However it’s the tourist trap I rate my review on. I hope they could have just put a link to the flight booking website rather then selling it as a scenic tour experience at a premium price. I could have paid as little as $250 for 2 people flight. Instead, we paid $800.

Commercial flight with pretty name - This is just a commercial flight from Victoria to Vancouver. You can save lots of money by booking directly on the harbour air website - just book a flight. If you think this is a tour, you’re totally mistaken. Read the fine print.

Be aware unauthorized baggage charge - Please be aware that you may encounter an unauthorized baggage charge from Harbour Air. I recently traveled from Vancouver to Victoria Harbour and noticed an excess baggage fee charged to my credit card. At no point was I informed that my bag exceeded the weight limit, nor did I authorize this charge. I have contacted Harbour Air’s customer service requesting clarification on why I wasn’t notified, but I have yet to receive a response. I recommend checking your statement if you’ve flown with them recently.
