Brilliant experience. Going from sea to air so quickly and from land to land in a short while, being able to see so much of the views from up high. Take off and landing were smooth.

I purchased two tickets for the Georgia Strait Seaplane Tour through Viator, one of Harbour Air’s ticketing partners. I booked them two months in advance as a special birthday gift, under the impression that the experience included four hours in Sechelt.
A week before the flight, I received a notification from Viator advising that the departure time had changed from 8:45 a.m. to 9:20 a.m. However, upon arriving at the Harbour Air check-in desk, I was informed that our reservation was still for the 8:45 a.m. flight—and that this flight did not include the time in Sechelt. We were further told that the 9:20 a.m. flight did include the Sechelt stop, but it was already sold out. Despite explaining the situation and proposing several possible solutions, we were repeatedly told that nothing could be done because the tickets had been purchased through a third party.
Although Viator eventually refunded the fare, the experience itself—and the intended birthday gift—was lost. Harbour Air, for their part, declined to offer any assistance or resolution.
So what should have been a special experience turned into a very disappointing day.

This was NOT a tour on a seaplane but just a 12 minute commuter flight. Very dull. Then instead of the advertised 4 hours in Sechelt we had to stay for 8 hours. Quite a difference. The seaplane company no longer offer several flights a day, just the two to accommodate commuters. Do not book with Viator. Find a seaplane operator in Nanaimo who will actually give you a tour.

Excellent quick trip on a seaplane. A must do activity if like me you don't have seaplanes where you live. Little stop off for lunch and a few drinks before going back.

Be aware that this is a Commuter Flight, not a tour. Plane just takes you from Nanaimo to Sechelt and drops you off for hours.
It’s a beautiful commute, but no tour guide or flying up the islands. A lot of flying over empty seas.
