Vancouver Float Planes

[Newport55]

Im interested in getting on one of the float planes operating out of either Vancouver or Nanaimo BC in Sept 2010 the day before sailing on the Celebrity Millennium, can anyone give me suggestions?

Two companies that are right next door to Canada Place and the cruise terminal are

 

Harbour Air: http://www.harbour-air.com/

 

and West Coast Air:http://www.westcoastair.com/

 

Perhaps PD knows of some others but these are the two big players on the local scene - i don't fly so I can't tell you how good they are.

 

Cheers

They're basically one company now, and if you try and book on westcoastair, you'll end up at http://harbour-air.com/

 

They fly a mixure of DHC-2 Beaver, DHC-3 [Turbine] Otter and DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft.

Over the years I have preferred to fly West Coast Air if only because they fly a lot of the twin engined Otters which are 18 seats and have two pilots.

& if you need more options getting to the "South Airport" side of YVR will get you more options.
