Beautiful scenic tour of the Vancouver city skyline and vicinity!

5.00We were here for a short trip, and wanted to take a flight during one of the days we were there, there was even a 20% Black Friday discount, while it didn’t work on their website, they did give us a payment link with the code applied and thanked us for letting them know. We arrived at the flight center and were warmly welcomed by the Seair staff at the desk. Within a few minutes the pilot came and called us to explain safety related things. He asked who wanted to sit up front with him during the flight and I was picked! After that we were taken to the airline on the dock. Once arrived at the dock we were asked by the pilot if we wanted to take a picture with the aircraft. The pilot happily helped anyone who needed assistance getting onto the aircraft. The flight itself was very scenic and gives a good view of the skyline of Vancouver and the area around it. Overall this was a pleasant experience and I would recommend it for anyone who would love to see the city and its vicinity from the air at an affordable price with friendly staff and pilots.
Amazing experience

5.00There was a mix up with our booking but the receptionist at sea air was so helpful and sorted it out for us. Our pilot Max was lovely and took pictures on the jetty before and after the flight.. The views were just amazing and was surreal to be taking off and landing on water. Was an amazing experience and a fantastic way to start our holiday.
Absolutely fantastic

5.00A superb experience from start to finish with the highlight being, for me, sat in the front next to the pilot. Stunning views from take off to landing with an excellent pilot in Maxx, this was truly an experience of a lifetime and another item off the bucket list.
Amazing experience

4.00The staff at check in and the tour itself were 5 star a real once in a lifetime experience that I would recommend However the pilot let the side down. Rushed through the safety briefing, so quick that none of us understood what the expectations were and was quite rude when we asked for clarification or did not do everything correctly. Was also rather abrupt in the way they spoke to passengers and co-pilot in general - such a shame
