Fly for about 45 minutes over downtown Vancouver and the islands of Howe Sound on a Harbour Air seaplane. After passing Stanley Park and the Lions Gate Bridge, you head north along the coastline over forested islands, the Coast Mountains and remote inlets that cannot be reached by road. This extended route flies farther than the 30-minute panorama flight, showing more of British Columbia’s nature. Departing from Coal Harbour, it also fits easily into a cruise passenger’s short schedule.

Take off from Coal Harbour
into the skies above Vancouver
Board your seaplane at the Harbour Air terminal in Coal Harbour and take off from the water. The roughly 45-minute experience covers boarding, takeoff, a scenic flight, water landing and disembarking, and you can watch the city fall away below as you climb.
Pass over Stanley Park and the Lions Gate Bridge

Fly over the forest of Stanley Park, English Bay and the Lions Gate Bridge, then follow the coastline north toward Horseshoe Bay. If you like, you can listen to commentary from the digital tour guide app with your own headphones.
Soar over the islands and remote inlets of Howe Sound

Pass over the forested islands of Howe Sound such as Bowen Island and Gambier Island, the towering peaks of the Coast Mountains and remote inlets with no road access. Your pilot plans a seasonal route for the best scenery.
Circle over downtown and return to Coal Harbour

On the way back, circle over downtown Vancouver to look down on landmarks such as BC Place and Science World before landing in Coal Harbour.
