Pat Bay Air :: Floatplane Charters & Scenic Tours :: Victoria, BC, Canada

By Air, Land & Sea

…see The Butchart Gardens and everything else too!

News Update:

For the month of March we will be offering our Air, Land and Sea tour starting at 11.00am from the Patricia Bay Seaplane Base (by Sidney and Victoria Airport) with the tour ending at 4.30pm.

Only $299.00 per person
(two person minimum) plus tax

Your pilot will greet you at the Patricia Bay Seaplane Base where you will board your floatplane for a breathtaking flight past Sidney Island, over Victoria and Esquimalt harbours and up Saanich Inlet before the exciting water landing by The Butchart Gardens.

Be the envy of others as you disembark at the dock to the “secret” entrance to the Gardens. Enjoy an unhurried time to explore the 50 acres of gardens, lawns and fountains in one of the world’s premier flower shows. Perhaps have lunch or tea at the Gardens’ restaurant or cafeteria.

Leave the Gardens for a memorable tour of Saanich Inlet about a unique 28′ glass-covered EcoCruising vessel with your ecologist guide/skipper. Relax in warm luxury with an unrestricted view of rugged scenery and rich marine life including bald eagles, harbour seals and giant jellyfish common in this tranquil deep-water fiord. Return to Patricia Bay, cruising past mansions, yachts and ships.

This adventure is also available in reverse order: You will meet your boat captain at Brentwood Bay Marina for the guided boat tour from Brentwood Bay Marina to Patricia Bay. There you will be greeted by your floatplane captain for the scenic flight around Victoria and local islands before landing at The Butchart Gardens. After touring the gardens you will take a short boat ride back to Brentwood Bay Marina. This version of the tour is ideal for guests staying at the Brentwood Bay Lodge.
