Vancouver To Nanaimo Seaplane Flight.
A seaplane is a very good option to get from Vancouver Mainland to Vancouver Island. They have a complimentary shuttle bus service from Vancouver International Airport to their terminal at Richmond on the Fraser River.
We had booked a 5.30 pm flight but reached the terminal earlier than expected. The staff is very courteous and accommodated us on the earlier 4 pm flight. We waited in the lounge and had some complimentary cookies and coffee.
Our luggage was weighed and tagged. There is a limit of 50 pounds per person but extra luggage can be taken on a token payment of $1 per pound. Window seats can also be reserved on extra payment.
The actual flight time from Vancouver to the Nanaimo Harbour across the Strait of Georgia is only 20 minutes, compared to about two hours taken by a ferry. The take off and the landing on the water was very smooth, smoother than the huge Boeing take-offs from Mumbai and Hong Kong.
The scenic views from the window was very enchanting, and we saw a couple of BC Ferries crossing the Strait down below.
The pilot was very competent and the staff were very courteous. We quite enjoyed our first time experience on the seaplane.
