Many people in the world find a seaplane trip quite an exotic experince . Traveling to nanaimo from vancouver provides that as an affordable experience with world class operators . Your also have the option of helicopter ( recommended) and the hullo fast cat ferry or regular bc ferry . Getting to and from the island can truly be half the fun.
I did a similar thing flying from England to Isle of Man years ago! My friend and I were flying off to an event, and I was delighted to see our transport was a good old DHC Otter. I lagged a bit as I looked over the plane, at which time I heard the passenger manager tell the pilot we were full, and would have to put someone up front. I joined the end of the line and asked if I'd heard right, and was granted the right-hand seat! Crouching my way through the cabin, I passed my friend, who wondered aloud where I would sit as the cabin seemed full. "It's okay," I said, "they're short a crew member so I'm flying navigator up front." "Yeah, right." At which point I slipped behind the curtain and buckled in, leaving him open mouthed. A glorious flight, and one of the best impromptu gags I ever pulled on anyone!
