Flying on a seaplane is a rare travel pleasure.
You get great views and can land exactly where you want to be - providing there is a body of water.
Harbour Air, British Columbia's leading coastal airline, has announced its largest seasonal expansion, featuring the return of a Vancouver-Seattle service beginning next week, along with three new routes including the airline's first Victoria-Seattle service.
The expansion is in response to strong demand across the Pacific Northwest of Canada and the US, adding new connections to communities like Ucluelet - named one of Expedia's 2026 Destinations of the Year - and Campbell River, a gateway to top-notch fishing and wilderness adventures.
And for the first time, Vancouver Island travellers will have direct cross-border seaplane service without routing through Vancouver.
"This is our biggest seasonal expansion yet, and it reflects what we're hearing from our guests and communities," said Chris Fordyce, Chief Commercial Officer for Harbour Air.
"The Vancouver-Seattle route has been one of our strongest seasonal services, and we're thrilled to bring it back. We're also launching three new routes this summer, including our first Victoria-Seattle service, new flights to Ucluelet, and new flights to Campbell River.
"These additions strengthen our network and give coastal B.C. travellers more ways to explore the region and beyond."
The new flight means locals, and tourists, can fly from downtown Vancouver to central Seattle in one hour.
