Harbour Air
Located at Pioneer Waterfront Plaza in the heart of Nanaimo Harbour, Harbour Air is North America’s largest seaplane airline, offering convenient flights and scenic tours across British Columbia. The waterfront terminal sits directly across from the Lighthouse Bistro and beside local shops and cafés, making it an easy and accessible transportation option for travelers exploring downtown Nanaimo or connecting to other coastal destinations.
Nanaimo, often known as the Harbour City, is home to one of the longest shorelines in Canada. Stretching into the Strait of Georgia, this classic West Coast community offers sweeping ocean views with forested mountains rising just beyond the downtown waterfront. Harbour Air provides scheduled flights linking Nanaimo with Vancouver and other coastal communities, giving travelers a fast and scenic way to move between Vancouver Island and the mainland.
In addition to scheduled service, Harbour Air offers scenic seaplane tours that highlight the beauty of Nanaimo Harbour, the Strait of Georgia, and the surrounding Gulf Islands. These sightseeing flights offer a unique aerial perspective of Vancouver Island’s coastline and are a memorable way for visitors to experience the region from above while discovering one of British Columbia’s most scenic waterfront cities.
