Founded in 1982, Harbour Air has expanded from a modest two-plane operation to a fleet of over forty aircraft. The airline offers unique travel experiences connecting cities to scenic destinations. With hubs at Victoria International and Vancouver International Airport, passengers can easily transition from traditional flights to floatplane journeys.

Salt Spring Island is one of the key destinations serviced by Harbour Air. Known for its artisanal crafts and vibrant arts scene, visitors often explore the island’s organic vineyards and summer markets. Passengers arrive at Grace Point Square, which provides convenient access to local shopping and dining options.

Whistler is another popular route, attracting over two million visitors annually with its winter sports facilities and summer activities like hiking and mountain biking. The Harbour Air terminal is located near the Jack Nicklaus Clubhouse, offering easy access to local amenities such as the ‘Table Nineteen Lakeside Eatery.’

In Vancouver Harbour, travelers can enjoy dining along the waterfront or exploring significant landmarks like Stanley Park and the North Shore mountains. The seaplane terminal in Coal Harbor places passengers close to Canada Place and other city attractions.

Sechelt presents a quieter destination with its rugged coastline and thriving arts community. Located on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Sechelt offers various outdoor activities including kayaking, paddleboarding, and hiking.

Nanaimo Harbour provides opportunities for whale watching and watersports throughout the year. Its seaplane terminal at Pioneer Waterfront Plaza is centrally located for easy access to downtown attractions like the Port Theatre.

Harbour Air also offers extended flight tours for aviation enthusiasts interested in experiencing floatplane travel firsthand. The DHC-3 Single Otter is a mainstay of their fleet, known for its adaptability across different terrains.

Overall, Harbour Air provides an array of unique travel experiences across picturesque Canadian landscapes while maintaining connections with major urban centers.
