What to expect when flying to Tofino on Harbour Air
Harbour Air
Expect more time in Tofino
We love a good road trip, and typically budget around six hours for the ferry and drive from Vancouver to Tofino, however… picture yourself boarding a Harbour Air seaplane just minutes away from Vancouver International Airport (YVR), or in the heart of Vancouver at Coal Harbour, and arriving in Tofino - only an hour later!
When vacation time is so valuable, the hours you save by flying to and from Tofino is time you gain: more relaxing beach walks, more time to sneak in another Tacofino visit, or to sit at the Harbourview Café at Tofino Sea Kayaking and simply enjoy the oceanscape.

Expect views
Pack your camera or pull out your phone (in Airplane Mode of course). The best part of flying Harbour Air might be the spectacular bird’s eye views atop the Salish Sea or as you fly into Tofino Harbour against the backdrop of Clayoquot Sound.
Harbour Air
Expect swift service and top safety
Did you know that Harbour Air is North America’s largest all-seaplane airline, in operation since 1982? It’s known for safety, excellent service, and a commitment to sustainability. We might also add that the Harbour Air terminal in downtown Vancouver is a beautiful spot - steps away from Canada Place and the Vancouver skyline - to launch your Tofino journey. Imagine flying right by iconic Stanley Park!

Harbour Air
Expect an arrival right in the centre of Tofino
Harbour Air lands right in the centre of Tofino, at the Tofino Resort + Marina dock. As you walk up the ramp, you might want to turn left and head straight into the harbourfront Shelter Restaurant - a Tofino classic - for an arrival lunch. Or go straight to your accommodation and settle into "Tofino time" - an even more laid-back version of “island time”.
