Amazing Seaplane Flight Around Vancouver!

Amazing Seaplane Flight Around Vancouver With Harbour Air!

My family and I board a DeHavilland DHC-III Turbine Otter Seaplane operated by Harbor Air of Vancouver B.C. for a spectacular sightseeing tour of Vancouver and the surrounding mountains. We start off in the airport terminal which is modern and very well maintained. All the food and beverages in the terminal was complementary to Harbor Air passengers! We then were led to our awaiting DHC-III by our friendly pilot, Caleb. It was crazy to think that this 54 year-old seaplane is still used for daily revenue service both for sightseeing and airline use! She is in great shape and is a true testament to the hardworking people that keep her flying! After firing up the PW R-1340 Wasp engine, Caleb took us past Canada Place where we then took off. We flew over the Lions-Gate Bridge and into the Burrard Inlet and then English Bay which was well occupied with oil tankers. We then flew over Kittsalano Beach and pool. At this point we were given a great view of YVR Airport before banking left again and flying over False Creek. We were given a stunning view of Mt. Baker and a nice ariel view of downtown Vancouver. We then proceeded over Second Beach and Stanley Park and then towards the mountains. For about 15 minutes we circled the mountains near Vancouver getting a little too close for comfort at times. All in all it was absolutely breathtaking! We then flew over North Vancouver and the pilot put our DHC-III in to a bit of a dramatic invert to quickly lose altitude. We then skimmed over the water of Coal Harbor and gently kissed the water. Not at all what I was expecting. I was expecting that our plane was going to grab onto the water like many commercial aircraft grab onto the runway and bring us to a hard stop, but I was pleasantly surprised! After the pilot pulled our DHC up to the dock and shut down the engines, we stood together for a photo op before my family and I proceeded to the terminal. The trip was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend Harbor Air to anyone needing to travel to Victoria or who want to take a sightseeing tour of Vancouver like My family!

Flying over Vancouver - A Journey by Seaplane with Harbour Air - Full Video

This is the normal speed full video. Shorter, 2x speed, selected scenes version is uploaded at the following link:

2019.01.19

I decided to take a seaplane tour over Vancouver and the surroundings. Harbour Air had a number of packages. I chose the Vancouver Extended Panorama. The seaplane starts from Vancouver harbour, gives a tour of the Vancouver city below, then goes off towards Anvil island, and loops back to the harbour. It takes around 35 minutes of flight.
We were four to be on the small seaplane. The seat beside the pilot was a bit smaller, so we were asked to decide who would like to seat there. I jumped at the opportunity as I will be sitting in the cockpit. WHY NOT?
The experience was not bad, felt good. Too much noise though. The best part was when the plane came close to the icy mountains and you can see the ice capped peaks and misty winds blowing. That was amazing.

Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre - Water Airport in Canada

This is Vancouver's Water Airport, an awesome place to sit and watch planes, or take a flight somewhere nice without having to drive far or taking boats...

From their Website: VHFC History
VHFC was built by a private consortium that responded to a BC Government ‘request for proposals’ issued as part of the redevelopment of Coal Harbour’s public assets for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

The facility was designed by aviation experts to be the permanent home for Vancouver’s float plane operators, who had been migrating around Coal Harbour between various temporary docks.

The resulting float plane passenger terminal is LEED certified and was built to meet the stringent design specifications provided by the BC Pavilion Corporation (PAVCO) and the City of Vancouver.

The facility boasts a number of innovative design features, such as a self-contained, state-of-the-art secure fueling system, environmentally-friendly floating docks, and a fully-accessible public glass elevator to allow people to transfer from the lower level of the famous Vancouver Seawall to the upper level at Jack Poole Plaza, home of the 2010 Olympic Cauldron.

The VHFC won an international MARKET interior design award for hospitality interiors in 2013 (MCM Design).

The final result is one of the best-designed float plane terminals in the world, and a facility that complements Vancouver’s Convention Center and waterscape while continuing to support the economic vitality of Canada’s busiest working harbour.

If you have any questions about pilot training here in canada just send me a message on instagram or leave a comment down bellow, I’ll be happy to help.
