Orca Airways, YVR to Tofino

The trip to Tofino and back from South Terminal YVR was just splendid. The panoramic views of the Georgia Straight, over Vancouver Island and crossing over the Pacific Ocean before landing was just spectacular.

The return was just as amazing as you take off into the Pacific with nothing but the waves and trees bidding you farewell. The plane is a but a small seven seater. Intimidating at first, the flight gives you a great view at 10,000 feet above ground. The landing into YVR is from the Georgia Straight as Air Canada and Cathay Pacific flights await to go East.

strongly recommend this journey if you have never flown to the western most tip Canada

Back to Tofino

So we are back in Tofino after a four year hiatus. It is our favorite sanctuary, the place where we eat the best food, think about the best ideas for our future and where we get recharged for the next round! The trails, beaches and bird watching here is just fabulous. If you are a surfer, this is some of the best in the world.

This time, we took a plane (Orca Airways) from South Terminal YVR and along with another passenger, spent 54 minutes on a beautiful flight over the Georgia Straight, across Vancouver Island and turning into the Pacific Ocean before landing at the Tofino Airport.
