SEAPLANE TOURSVANCOUVER DEPARTURES 2009
In 1982, with two small seaplanes and a plan to service British Columbia’s forest industry, Harbour Air Ltd was founded. With growing success, Harbour Air expanded to provide scheduled services between Vancouver, the Gulf Islands, and Vancouver Island.
Today, with over 30 aircraft, Harbour Air has become the largest all-seaplane company in the world. Our services include regularly scheduled flights that connect Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, Richmond, Langley and the Gulf Islands. We offer a wide range of flightseeing tours that will take you from the high towering peaks of the Olympic Mountains to the incredibly rugged shorelines of Vancouver Island. Private charters are also available to take you to anywhere you want to go in spectacular British Columbia.
Our commitment to service, comfort, and safety is our number one priority. With your support, Harbour Air Seaplanes continues to grow and we appreciate your business.
Welcome aboard!
