Victoria, BC
PIECE OF HISTORY, PLACE OF BEAUTY.
BOOK A FLIGHT
Set your tea time for your trip to Victoria
Fitting that a city named for an English queen bears the architectural legacy of her nation. Victoria provides a glimpse of the Old Word as epitomized by the afternoon tea served at the Empress Hotel. Arriving by seaplane affords you a better view than aboard any boat and gets you there in less than half the time. Step off the plane, onto the dock at the Seaplane Terminal, and clear customs in the shadow of the Parliament House.
Victoria is absolutely lovely with a compact downtown where you’ll find history mixes easily with modern trends. Classic pubs serve pints at one corner with a craft brewery open nearby. Parks, museums, and even castles are all found within the city with incredible hiking opportunities available just outside of it.

FLOATPLANE
Year-round service to the Victoria Seaplane Terminal from either Kenmore Air Harbor or Lake Union. Our fleet includes six-passenger de Havilland Beavers and our larger Otters. Looking for something more personal? The Cessna 180 is a two-passenger floatplane that is a most economical charter option. Sorry, no complimentary baggage storage on-site.
ACCOMMODATIONS
There is a wide range of lodging accommodations available from upscale hotels to cozy B&Bs to historic inns and everything in between. Tourism Victoria provides a great index of options as does the Victoria B.C. Chamber of Commerce.
ACTIVITIES
A walk around downtown will show why Victoria has been described as being more English than England. If you want elegance, there’s tea at the Empress Hotel. For a more casual afternoon, there’s a thriving pub scene. History buffs can tour the castles or if you’d prefer more natural beauty, Victoria has a well-earned reputation as the City of Gardens because of its ideal growing climate.
