Seaplanes offer bird’s-eye view

Whether for sightseeing or transportation, flying brings new perspective
0758 Aircraft Landing DD
A Harbour Air seaplane comes in for a landing in Victoria’s Inner Harbour near the Ogden Point breakwater.

Victoria’s Inner Harbour is the busiest working harbour in Canada.

Looking out on an average day, you’ll see yellow and green harbour ferries zig-zagging between shorelines, the M.V. Coho en route to and from Port Angeles, the Victoria Clipper making the rounds from Seattle, luxury yachts, kayakers, fishing vessels and dozens of harbour seals sharing the water.

Perhaps the most common sight among all that traffic is seaplanes, diving in every 15 minutes at peak hours from downtown Vancouver, Whistler, Seattle and various sightseeing tours around the Capital Region.
