Just ahead of spring, Harbour Air has announced the company will be expanding its services with new routes that will better serve travellers throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Some new destinations include Ucluelet, Campbell River, and for the first time, Vancouver Island travellers will have access to direct a cross-border seaplane service without routing through Vancouver.
Because Vancouver to Seattle flights have been one of Harbour Air’s strongest seasonal routes, the company is also launching a Victoria to Seattle route for the first time ever.
“This is our biggest seasonal expansion yet, and it reflects what we’re hearing from our guests and communities,” said Chris Fordyce, chief commercial officer, Harbour Air.
The inaugural Victoria to Seattle service will launch on June 11th, connecting Victoria’s Inner Harbour with Lake Union in Seattle in under an hour.
This marks the first time Vancouver Island travellers will have access to a non-stop link to Seattle, simplifying cross-border travel.
One-way fares for this route start from $149 CAD with one daily departure.
The new routes that will connect Ucluelet and Campbell River are also a part of the seasonal expansion and are set to begin on June 25th and July 6th, respectively.
Harbour Air will be offering Ucluelet to Vancouver flights with one-way fares starting at $209, while the new Campbell River service to Vancouver will be available for $139.
The Vancouver to Seattle flight is also making a return for the busy season on April 13th with two daily departures connecting Coal Harbour in downtown Vancouver with Lake Union in Seattle in approximately one hour.
One-way fares start from $149. This route has operated as a seasonal spring and summer service since 2018.
If you’re thinking about travelling across the border, up-island or to Vancouver this summer, there are now more options than ever for how to get there.
