So Fun! - It’s not a 747. A little up and down & side to side is all a great part of the experience. Such amazing views!

Got to do - What a day to fly Mostly the ground crew and flight crew very professional. I’d fly with them anyway and the value is high in seeing a lot in 30 mins

Worth it! - The scenic tour was incredible. It was the smoothest check in for the flight, followed by a smooth ride! The pilot was very professional and kind. We will definitely be back.

Great scenery! - Great view. Only 20 min in air. Don’t go if you get sea sick. No commentary, would not call a tour. Headphones with a guided talk would be nice!

Overpriced - We have taken this seaplane before to travel from Seattle to Victoria, and the views were spectacular. But this scenic tour that does a loop around Victoria for exactly 20 minutes seemed overpriced. The plane was safe but felt hot & cramped inside & smelled of gasoline. No one explains what you’re looking at. You’re better off taking the seaplane to actually get somewhere.

Avoid this trip if they are fully booking it with 14 passengers! - This seaplane experience is way too crowded. I was part of 14 passengers and that was excessive as the seats on the plane were more suited to a 10 year olds size. They jammed 3 passengers in every row which was ridiculous as the out side passengers dominated their small windows and the passenger in the middle could not see much scenery. My knees where jammed against the seat in front of me as the seats where not far enough apart. I personally would not put more than 8 passengers in this seaplane.

Book direct with Harbor Air not Viator - Harbour Air is not at fault for my poor review. A mistake by Viator put me at the pier after the plane had left. I never got to take the aerial tour I had booked six months in advance. My ticket said 5:30 with check in 40 minutes in advance. I was there at 10 minutes before 5 and the plane had already left.
