Description

Embark on an unforgettable journey to Salt Spring Island with Harbour Air, where the flight itself becomes an integral part of your travel experience. Flying from downtown Vancouver to Salt Spring Island by seaplane is not just a means of transportation, but a scenic adventure that promises breathtaking views and unmatched convenience. Your journey begins at Harbour Air's terminal, conveniently located in Coal Harbour, just steps from Canada Place, the Vancouver Convention Centre, and Jack Poole Plaza, home to the Olympic flame from the 2010 Winter Games. This prime location, part of the Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre along Vancouver’s iconic seawall, offers easy access to some of the city’s most famous landmarks. Whether you're a local or a visitor, you'll feel the excitement as you board your flight with a front-row view of the Vancouver skyline and the surrounding mountains. As the seaplane lifts off, the cityscape quickly fades away, giving way to panoramic views of Vancouver’s harbor and the towering peaks of the North Shore mountains. The flight from Vancouver to Salt Spring Island takes you over the stunning waters of Burrard Inlet and the Salish Sea, offering views of lush islands and rugged coastlines that few get to experience from the air. The one-of-a-kind views are far beyond what you’d see from the ground or a ferry. Unlike the lengthy waits and crowded spaces at ferry terminals, the seaplane offers a quick, direct, and stress-free flight. In just 35 minutes, you'll find yourself soaring over the tranquil waters and green forests of Salt Spring Island, the jewel of the Southern Gulf Islands. Upon landing at the Ganges Seaplane Dock, you’re just steps away from the charming shops, galleries, and restaurants that Salt Spring is known for. The island’s natural beauty, vibrant arts scene, and welcoming community await you. The convenience of a seaplane flight over a ferry is undeniable. With no long boarding lines, no schedules to follow, and no delays, Harbour Air’s seaplane service makes traveling to Salt Spring effortless. Every seat offers spectacular views, so you’re always immersed in the breathtaking landscape, making your journey as memorable as your destination.

And the journey is just as enjoyable in the opposite direction, from Salt Spring Island back to Vancouver, making every moment of your travel experience extraordinary. Choose Harbour Air and transform your trip to Salt Spring Island into a scenic adventure you'll cherish.
