“This was so much better than expected. Kind of thought we would have been lucky with a quick buzz flight followed by a wander over the suspension bridge but the seaplane was superb, great conditions, saw loads and had plenty of time in the air. The Capelino was so much more than a suspension bridge. Great exhibits dressed up for Halloween and especially liked the cliff walk too. Great family story too”

Review of the Vancouver to Victoria seaplane day trip, with Butchart Gardens, flight views, timing, costs, transfers, and practical booking advice.
“Day began flying Harbour Air from Vancouver to Victoria. 35 minutes. Then bus to Butchart Gardens. 45 minutes. We spent 3+ hours in the Garden. If Viator gives you a required bus return time, ignore it. You can return to downtown Victoria whenever you desire on the hourly buses. Seaplane flight was super cool with outstanding views. 13 passengers on De Haviland Otter. Butchart was just beautiful! This day trip was absolutely worth it. It’s amazing what they have accomplished there.”
