Time saver - I like the efficiency of traveling with Harbour Air
I wish you have senior discount 15%. Then I will travel more often using Harbour Air.

A magnificent experience not to be missed! - When planning a day trip from Vancouver to the Island, debated ferry versus plane and decided on the latter. The day was magnificent and the views from the plane unreal! Some 10 years earlier had travelled by ferry during a winter ski trip but this was well in front of that experience.
The day was spent with a visit to the famous Bouchart Gardens and then caught up with local friends for an enjoyable lunch on the warf in Victoria. and a stroll around the parliament building - all in all a truly memorable day.

Great experience. Had... - Great experience. Had never flown on a seaplane. When I purchased the ticket I did not see a weight limit, so I had to pay more for the flight when we got there.

Read the fine print on baggage and don't expect any common sense. - Do not fly Harbour Air if you have any kind of luggage. At $5 per lb, these crooks will screw you for every red cent.
The customer service agent suggested that I buy a whole new ticket, with no credit for the ticket that was already purchased. For an additional $150 on top of the $190 ticket, it would have been more convenient just to fly out through YYJ. Even the big airlines use common sense when it comes to changing tickets and not screwing the customer.
The combination of the ticket and luggage fee was now the combined cost higher then the most expensive ticket that they offer. When asked to get on an earlier flight, the reply was no, even though there was plenty of room on all previous out going flights to Vancouver. Customer service a big fat 0. Taking care of the customer after gouging the customers another 0.
