Butchart Gardens by Seaplane

"This was a great adventure. The seaplane rides were an adventure by themselves. We had a great bus driver that transported us to and from Butchart Gardens, once we landed in Victoria. The gardens were a complete surprise. They were the prettiest gardens I’ve ever visited, and I’ve visited many. Be sure to pick up the brochure at the gardens that serves a a flower guide to the flowers seen there at all times of the year. It’s a keeper! GYG communicated instructions very clearly. There are several steps and transfers to this excursion. Each participant gave very clear instructions with printed instructions as well. This will be one of the most memorable tours we have ever done. I thought it was worth the price."

"Excellent in every way! Flying on a seaplane, organization, etc. Gardens were amazing! Highly recommended!"

"HarbourAir operation very efficient, smooth flight right into main harbour, with 5 mins walk into main street. Victoria an impressive place with good shops, bars cafes & restaurants. An interesting coach trip to suburbs, with running local commentary from. experienced driver - through to the outstanding But hard gardens. You can see whole thing in under 2 hours, and back into centre for a good meal before plane leaves. Highly recommended if not cheap ( but worth it to spend whole day in Victoria & experience seaplane.)."

"You've definitely got to do that in Vancouver The pilot was awesome, I even got to sit up front next to him. I'll never forget the impressions and images of countless islands. The takeoff and landing are way more relaxed than on a regular scheduled flight."

"Excursion was excellent, enjoyed first time seaplane trip and Butchart Gardens was amazing. Would recommend this to everyone visiting Vancouver !!"

"The early morning sea plane meant we seen the sunrise. plenty time to get Breakfast and a look round the harbour before the coach the tour guide to and from the gardens kept us amused. Beautiful gardens with a lovely story. The seaplane was my highlight and worth seeing the city and island from the sky,bonus was a humpback whale sighting on the way back."

"Great trip on a seaplane. Flight well organised with the flight company answering my queries very promptly. Butchart gardens was a highlight, only slight negative was the bus shuttle to and from the gardens. The pick up time from the gardens back to Victoria was very loose which meant we turned up early for the shuttle as we did not want to miss it and wait a further 2 hours for the next one, impacting the amount of time spent at the gardens and hanging around for 30mins to get the shuttle back to Victoria. We had 4 hours in Victoria which was enough time for sightseeing, exploring Fisherman’s Wharf and lunch."

"Fantastic even the morning flight was delayed slightly due to weather."
