Depart Vancouver Harbour by seaplane for an exciting flight over the Gulf Islands to beautiful Victoria. Then take a bus tour to the world famous Butchart Gardens. In Victoria, shopping, the Royal BC Museum, and several other attractions are just steps away. Return to downtown Vancouver on an afternoon or evening flight.

A fantastic way to see Victoria and Butchart Gardens. Highly recommended. Much better than going via the ferry, especially if your time is more limited.

Seaplane round-trip is the way to go. 8:35am flight departure didn’t get us to Victoria in time to catch 9:15 bus to Butchart Gardens. Had to grab Uber or wait for next bus at 11:15. Ugh! Everything else went very smoothly.

The float plane was the best part, so cool to see all the many islands. Victoria was lovely. Buchart was an interesting history but enjoyed Queen Elizabeth garden in Vancouver just as much.

What an experience…our first sea plane ride was from Vancouver to Victoria on Vancouver island. The entire process was easy, the views were beautiful and the staff very friendly. I would highly recommend it for a day visit or longer.

Fantastic trip. Flights with Harbour Air were amazing. Friendly staff and such a scenic flight. The bus to butchart Gardens is only a 5 min walk from the seaplane terminal. Gardens are stunning. You get about 2.5 hours there which is plenty time. You can stay longer and get a later bus back to Victoria.
Once back in Victoria we explored the city and had time for afternoon tea in the Empress Hotel. We booked a 6pm seaplane flight back to Vancouver but you can select anytime with availability.
Highly recommend this trip.

Pilots, flight itself, bus to the Gardens were all five star. Had some argument with the counter people who refused to accommodate the departure time of the return flight on my original email confirmation. Said it did not match "their records". Wanted me to call the agency "Get Your Guide" I booked through. Said I had to call them 24 hours before flight if I wanted to change my reservation. I said forget about my wanting to "change" my flight (wanted to get an earlier return flight) , just put me on the flight time on my confirmation. Their records reflected a 7PM return and my confirmation had 5PM. Just rude and argumentative but finally said they have room on the 5PM flight so they put us on the flight after all the unnecessary arguing.

Very nice day. The gardens are beautiful. Be sure not to miss the Sunken Gardens on your walk. The best part.
Never enough time. Glad we did the gardens quickly to get some additional time in Victoria.

Sleek,professional smooth special day from start to finish. Wonderful views from seaplane. Butchart gardens was incredible with a smooth transfer from Victoria. The day allowed us to have a few hours in both the gardens and Victoria.
