Vancouver Seaplane Panorama

Vancouver Seaplane Panorama is a short scenic flight that reveals how closely the city fits between water, forest and mountains. Taking off from the harbour is part of the pleasure, with Stanley Park and the downtown shoreline becoming a map beneath the aircraft.

Check in at the Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre at Burrard Landing and allow around an hour overall. The thirty-minute experience includes boarding, take-off, the flight, landing and disembarking; it does not mean thirty uninterrupted minutes in the air. The aircraft returns to the same harbour terminal.

Book ahead and follow the exact check-in deadline, identification and baggage instructions on the confirmation. Flights depend on weather and operational limits, so protect a buffer before another fixed booking. This is sightseeing rather than an airport transfer, and the sightseeing aircraft is not wheelchair accessible.
