Fun Fact about turbo-prop engines,.....the propellers (and turbine blades which this engine has) begin to turn BEFORE the engine actually starts.

That's so cool! We really enjoyed our flight from Victoria to Vancouver as it saves so much travel time, and we were able to walk to the hotel when we landed. It certainly also saves on an Uber ride or taking the bus. Cheers from Athens, Greece :)

Even though it was a cloudy day, it was still absolutely beautiful to fly into the harbour!

Cool flying to Vancouver on a seaplane! It was nice to see the skyscrapers from the harbour. Looks like the city is planned so that it;s not totally blocked off from view as it is in Toronto where they are all side by side. Thanks for taking us along for the flight:)

In Vancouver they have "protected view corridors" so that there are sightlines from different areas of the city to the mountains and water. You can look up some streets and see mountains in the distance which is so nice. They are really serious about planning there.

It's really a time saver when you factor in the time to drive to Swartz Bay Terminal, an hour and a half on the ferry, and then the drive from Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal to downtown Vancouver. Also, it was a lot of fun :)
