Planning Your Trip

The ultimate way to experience the Pacific Northwest!

Travel between Seattle and Victoria with two of our region's unique forms of transportation: high-speed catamaran and seaplane. One direction, travel through the Strait of Juan de Fuca on the Victoria Clipper V, and soak in breathtaking views of our Olympic and Cascade mountains. You may even come across a pod of orca whales or other marine life. Cruise for less than three hours before arriving in the heart of downtown Seattle.

The other direction, take in the fabulous aerial views of the Pacific Northwest aboard a Kenmore Air Seaplane. Soar a few hundred feet above the water to get a true bird's-eye view of the region. Arrive at your destination after a swift 45-minute flight. Explore Seattle and Victoria on your own or add on a fun activity to your trip. A fantastic way to authentically experience travel around the area or give visiting family and friends the experience of a lifetime!
