What makes it 76% Kids-Friendly: Kids board first, get child life-vests, and love the views, yet cabins are loud, seats are tight, and tickets cost full child fares, so bring ear defenders and budget accordingly.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Short seaplane flight plus lounge time fits kids’ attention spans and allows for nearby park visits afterwards.
Family Pre-boarding and Lounge:
Families with children under 12 board before general boarding and relax in the passenger lounge.
Tip: Use free Wi-Fi and cushioned seats in the lounge. Visit the baby-changing room before boarding.
20-Minute Panorama Flight:
See downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park, and Lions Gate Bridge from the air.
Tip: Ask for front seats to reduce motion. Bring a light jacket as it can be cool above the harbour.
Planes & Parks Combo:
30-minute tour plus shuttle to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park for Treetops Adventure and Cliffwalk.
Tip: Book this combo to keep kids excited. Pack comfortable shoes for the park walk.

A truly memorable experience! I went on a short scenic tour over Vancouver and I loved it. The crew were very kind and helpful, particularly with boarding and alighting the aircraft with my sight loss. The flight was extremely enjoyable and the views were mesmerising. A must-do, unique experience when visiting the city.

Harbour Air is a fantastic way to see Vancouver. The views from the seaplane are absolutely breathtaking, offering a new perspective of the city, mountains, and ocean. The staff is also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommended!!

I flew Harbour Air from Nanaimo to Vancouver and back, and the price was absolutely worth it for the time it saved compared to taking the ferry. On the return trip, I had the incredible opportunity to sit in the co-pilot seat, an option open to passengers, and I highly recommend it. Wearing the headphones and listening to air traffic control added to the experience, and the views were some of the ...

We took a 20-minute scenic flight over Vancouver in a light aircraft — and it was an incredible experience. The weather that day was perfect, with clear skies and crisp air, giving us wide, unobstructed views of the city and surrounding areas. From above, we had a stunning aerial view of downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park, and the diverse landscapes stretching out into the suburbs. Takeoff and landi...
Summer and fall offer clearer views and calmer waters. Check wind forecasts; early morning flights tend to be smoother.
