Our pilot was wonderful (can't remember her name). The views were beautiful and Victoria was picture perfect. Had lunch at China town and visit to Fairmont Empress hotel, very nice. The return ferry also had gorgeous views. Highly recommend.

It was amazing to fly to Victoria on the seaplane! Very smooth flight & the view was fantastic! Our pilot was very professional & friendly. The whole operation ran efficiently! We enjoyed the different modes of transport -back by bus & ferry. Once again our driver was helpful & professional. A wonderful day out! Thanks Viator!

The seaplane was a great experience and Victoria is worth a visit. The ferry journey was only 90 minutes so pretty good and the views were beautiful.

This is a great way to experience the trip from Vancouver to Victoria…from the water and from above. But a warning…the ferry takes some time to do ( 4 hours one way minimum) so if you are time sensitive I would spend the money and fly both ways. The flight is 35 min one way and it really maximizes your time in Victoria or Vancouver. If you have the time, the weather is good and you like to be on the water, then definitely do the ferry. It’s a right of passage for all British Columbians to take BC Ferries at some point in their lives. You get to meet and be with locals and the views along the ferry route are stunning. You may even see whales along the way. The flight across is wonderful because you get to see why this part is the world is so special. The many islands, mountain ranges, hidden alpine lakes are all over. So worth it.

This was such a fun day and way cheaper than our hotel concierge suggested it would be to fly on a floatplane. We're from Texas and did not know that buses drive on to ferries!

The flight to Victoria was the best part. We were left on our own to explore Victoria but didn’t discover until checking in that time would be tight if we wanted to take in The Butchart Gardens. The ferry ride back was nice and a great experience. However, the bus ride from the ferry terminal to Vancouver was long, with many stops. It’s actually a general bus route for anyone taking the ferry from Victoria and going back to Vancouver. Would have been better to have transportation more directed connected specifically to this booking. I should have read the other reviews more closely.

The flight over was good. The return was too long. 5 hours which was not explained in the description of the tour.
To many drop offs and pick ups.
