Flight - Seaplane from YVR Vancouver (South) to Victoria Harbour, British Columbia
September 7, 2018 - It's Friday night and I need to get from Vancouver to Victoria in a hurry! In my many years, I've always taken the ferry to transport back and forth across the Strait of Georgia to Vancouver Island, but today, I want to treat myself and journey to Victoria via a seaplane!
Starting at YVR's South Terminal, right on the banks of the Middle Arm of the Fraser River - and right beside the Flying Beaver, a favourite bar of mine in Richmond, BC - my de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter takes me over the Strait of Georgia, past Richmond, Steveston, Ladner, and Tsawwassen, then through the Gulf Islands (directly over Galiano, Mayne, and Saltspring), right over to Sidney on Vancouver Island, then following Highway 17 and the Saanich Peninsula right to the southernmost point in British Columbia, at its capital city, Victoria.
Seaplanes are only marginally more expensive than BC Ferries (with reference to one vehicle and one passenger), but at only 30 minutes from take-off to landing, it's much quicker than the 90 minute ferry journey, plus waits at terminals and travel time between the city centres and the terminals. It's worth checking out!

Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet landing on Vancouver YVR Airport Amazing View
While checking out this new McArthur Glen outlet mall near YVR Vancouver airport with Zoe, we witnessed this awesome landing (among several others). What a view wow!! This mall also features an amazing play area for kids 3-12 and coupled with a chance to spy on landing aircraft up-close, which is something kids just love, it's a fun place to visit.
