Description:

Embark on a scenic seaplane flight to charming Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Cozy up with jovial seals on a guided snorkeling adventure, and take some time to explore this quaint harbor city before catching the plane back to Vancouver.

Start your journey with a breathtaking flight from downtown Vancouver. Take in nature views as you fly over the Salish Sea onward to Vancouver Island. Soar high above valleys, mountains, glaciers, and gorgeous coastlines. Nanaimo is located on the east coast of Vancouver Island across the Strait of Georgia from Vancouver, offering waterfront on 3 sides and spectacular ocean views at every turn.

Land in Nanaimo, fondly referred to as the “Hub, Tub and Pub City” because of its connection with bathtub racing and the numerous “watering holes” in Old Nanaimo.

Head to Sundown Diving for an exciting snorkeling session with resident seals. Vancouver Island has been rated one of the best cold-water diving spots in the world. Spend a few exciting hours with your new harbor seal buddies at Snake Island. In some cases the seals are very curious—they may brush by you or teach you how to catch a meal. Other days, they may be wary and keep their distance.

Discover other fascinating marine life, including bald eagles, oyster catchers, Canadian geese, and cormoran.

After your snorkeling adventure, enjoy some free time to explore the city. Take a stroll along the Harbourfront Walkway, sample many versions of the traditional favorite along the tasty Nanaimo Bar Trail, or sit dockside at Canada’s only floating pub, the Dinghy Dock.

End your exciting day trip with a scenic flight back to the downtown Vancouver lights.
