Victoria Tours, Day Trips & Overnight Excursions

You can tour to Victoria by float plane or by bus & ferry. The bus/ferry option takes 3.5 hours and the float plane takes 35 minutes downtown to downtown. The actual ferry ride is a scenic 1 hour and 35 minutes long. However, because the ferry terminals are not located either in downtown Vancouver or downtown Victoria, you will go by bus between downtown and the ferry terminal both on the mainland and on Vancouver Island.

All Victoria tours include round trip transportation between Vancouver and Victoria, either by ferry or float plane.

Victoria Panorama

Our most popular tour departing from Victoria harbour, this half-hour flight is an ideal introduction to seaplane aviation. Your flight will include spectacular vistas of downtown Victoria, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca with the Olympic Mountains in the distance. Photographers especially will enjoy unique views of the buildings ringing the harbour and grand houses perched on the rugged coastline. The splash-down landing is always a highlight.
