I loved the sea plane experience - check in was easy and friendly. Coffee and pastries were included in the price of the ticket- so missing breakfast didn't matter! The coffee was great. The scenery from the sea plane was magnificent and the take off and landing very exciting 😀 The bus driver on the return journey was efficient, pleasant, clear with instructions and despite the fact we were much later back than advertised - it was fine. The ferry trip was beautiful- amazing sunset glowing on the water, clean toilets on the ferry and very efficient loading and unloading 🙏🥳🎉

A great day, helped by beautiful weather. Took the 7.30 flight over to Victoria, which gave us plenty of time to use the local 75 bus to Butchart gardens and still have time to have a good look round Victoria. The flight over was excellent. We were warmly greeted and had coffee before departure. Boarding was easy and the take-off and landing exceptionally smooth. The views of Vancouver, Stanley Park and the other islands were stunning. We returned by bus and ferry. Our driver was very informative and the ferry trip great fun. All in all a great trip that I would definitely recommend.

Everything was well organized, you received all the information in a timely manner: When do you need to be where exactly. So the trip went as smooth as we hoped for. Nice seaplane ride to Victoria, there we took Uber to Butcharts garden. You can also go by public bus but that takes longer but is way cheaper. Bus requires cash, though. Back to Vancouver we met the ferries bus and were given a nice ferry ride back to downtown. A great day to explore the island for a couple of hours.
