Seaplane day trip between Nanaimo and Sechelt - With a day in Sechelt
Description
Scenic seaplane flight between Nanaimo and Sechelt
This seaplane day trip departing from Nanaimo combines round-trip flights to Sechelt and free time on the Sunshine Coast. The meeting point is at the Harbour Air terminal located on Pioneer Waterfront Plaza, in Nanaimo Harbour. The experience alternates two seaplane flights and a stop on site, with a format that feels more like a scenic transfer than a simple loop flight, the scenery is magnificent.
The flights follow the route between Nanaimo and Sechelt across the Strait of Georgia, with views over coastal waters, forested islands, and the British Columbia shoreline. The value also comes from the two sequences specific to this type of aircraft: water takeoff and water landing, both outbound and on the return. This crossing is a way to reach the Sunshine Coast while enjoying a real scenic flight.
