With numerous destinations in mind, Victoria International Marina is happy to facilitate a float plane charter to a wide grouping of destinations.
Here are only some of the spectacular destinations possible by float plane.
The Gulf Islands
The Gulf Islands, which consist of 200 islands between Mainland B.C. and Vancouver Island, includes 5 major islands. Salt Spring, Pender, Mayne, Galiano and Saturna embrace a laid back pace while offering stunning scenery. Salt Spring Island, home to a population of over 10,000 is home to a huge Saturday Ganges Market – the perfect place to explore locally made art, food and crafts. Pender Island, home to the stunning Poet’s Cove Resort, is home to approximately 2,200 people. For panoramic views from Galiano Island, a hike up Mount Galiano will take you only 45-minutes. Best explored by bike, Mayne Island, is the place to unwind and do nothing. And, for quiet peace and enjoyment, Saturna Island, as the most remote of the islands, provide a great place to relax.
The Okanagan
A true four-seasons playground, the Okanagan Valley, located in Southern B.C., reaches some of the warmest temperatures in the province. Including cities like Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon and Osoyoos as top vacation destinations, the valley offers visitors pristine beaches, world-renowned wine country, golf in the summer, and sports like world-class skiing and snowboarding in the winter. No matter the season, the Okanagan offers an unforgettable experience most anytime of the year.
Tofino
Though populated by just under 2,000 full-time residents, Tofino is brimming with tourists in any season. With as long-as-the-eye-can-see white sandy beaches, surfers riding waves, dense rainforests, and storm watching, Tofino (and neighbouring Ucluelet) offer the perfect place to connect with the meaning of Beautiful British Columbia. Offering rustic or luxury accommodations, including the chance for surfing, fishing, golfing, biking, hiking, kayaking, ziplining, and wildlife viewing, Tofino is a bucket-list destination for many.
Friday Harbor
Located on San Juan Island, Friday Harbor is considered a part of Washington State. Providing nearly everything it has to offer within walking distance, Friday Harbor is a laid back seaside community. Home to boutique shops, restaurants, cafes, galleries and more, visitors spend their time meandering through the seaside streets or head out on excursions like whale watching or sea kayaking tours. To explore other areas of San Juan Island, you’ll be able to hop on convenient shuttle buses, a trolley, or rent a moped for a do-it-yourself type of exploration. And, for quick jaunt off the island, an inter-island ferry will take you to neighbouring Lopez, Orcas, and Shaw Islands.
