Seaplane Journeys Over Vancouver and Beyond

For the ultimate views of Vancouver and Vancouver Island, there are few better ways to experience them than from the sky. With seaplanes zipping around the area, ferrying commuters and tourists alike, there are several tours available that will take you to the skies. Whether you’re soaring over Vancouver’s bustling harbour, flying over the picturesque Gulf Islands while keeping an eye out for whales, or heading down the Strait of Georgia with towering mountains and lush rainforests on one side and Vancouver Island on the other, the experience is unforgettable. However you choose to take to the air, the breathtaking views will leave a lasting impression and offer a perspective of British Columbia that you simply can’t get from the ground.

FlyOver Canada

For an introduction to Canada, FlyOver Canada offers a state-of-the-art experience, taking you on a virtual journey across the country from west to east. With stunning cinematography and immersive effects such as wind, scents, and mist, the moving platform creates the sensation of flying over Canada's diverse landscapes, from towering mountains to sparkling coastlines. Please note that while FlyOver Canada is a relatively gentle experience, it may not be suitable for those with a fear of heights, heart conditions, photosensitivity, or epilepsy due to the visuals and motion effects.

Vancouver – Ideas for Free Time

You will never be short of things to do in Vancouver – this is a city that truly has something for everyone. A great starting place is the Vancouver Lookout, which offers panoramic views of downtown Vancouver, Coal Harbour, Stanley Park, and the mountains beyond. Complimentary guided tours are available, and interpretive displays provide insight into the city’s history, infrastructure, and local communities. Nearby at Canada Place, FlyOver Canada is a fascinating 3D attraction that takes you on a magical 25-minute simulated flight across the country and through its seasons. From the waterfront, you can head uphill through the business district to explore the shops and restaurants around Robson Street or take a leisurely stroll along the shore via Coal Harbour to Stanley Park. For those interested in exploring vibrant cultural districts, Gastown, Chinatown, and Yaletown are all within walking distance of downtown. Alternatively, the Vancouver Trolley is a great way to get around the city. From the inner harbour at False Creek, you can catch the ferry across to Granville Island, home to the famous market. It’s the perfect spot to spend several hours browsing beautiful arts and crafts while drooling over the impressive range of gastronomic delights—from American doughnuts to German cheeses, Asian spices to Italian antipasti. Granville Island is also a fantastic place to watch street performers and soak up Vancouver’s unique and vibrant atmosphere.
