Flightseeing Victoria
One time I suggested a friend of mine to take a flightseeing Victoria tour ... This is a time and money saving formula.
Here's a little story that illustrates the point...
He was on a business trip to Victoria. His wife and daughter also accompanied him. They listened to " Exciting Victoria scenic Seaplane Adventures " from friends and were wanting to take a tour from Victoria downtown.
I showed them that they can easily add this tour into their itinerary to get in and get out of Victoria.
They took a Seaplane from Vancouver downtown to Victoria downtown to get in and get out of here. They saw a quick way to downtown Victoria and enjoyed 2 scenic flight tours.
Afterwards, they thanked me for this time and money saving idea.

Whether you're travelling or a business person who thinks what is the quickest, convenient transportation option to downtown Victoria, my advice would be a Seaplane or Helijet helicopter.

When flying in a seaplane you see the beauty of Victoria from above, it reall is Canada's Garden City from high up in the sky! It's not the typical view you get from a jet window. These low flying air crafts offer a unique view of the islands, Ocean wildlife which include pods of whales, sea lions and seals resting on offshore rocks, if you're lucky!
Booking a Scenic Flight
If you were to arrange a scenic tour from Victoria there are several options and competitors to choose from.
Scenic tours are departing Victoria's Inner Harbor as well as Pat Bay Seaplane Base adjacent to Victoria International Airport - YYJ.
A scenic air tour over Victoria is a very popular tourist attraction all year round. With eye catching views of the Olympic Mountains, the Strait of the Juan de Fuca and the City of Victoria BC.
There are private charters which you can customize your trip to fit anywhere along British Columbia’s scenic coastlines.
Charter tours are popular for business trips, personal getaways for two or large group departures.
Enjoy unparalleled views of mountains above the coastline. Landing and take-off feel like a you are into a water ride with a spray of water. A nice feast for your eyes and a memorable flightseeing Victoria tour. No … words to explain … This is how I felt about my float plane trip.
