Shuttle driver picked us up at the Whistler Info Center 45 min before scheduled flight. Once at the 'airport' they weighed every last piece of luggage we had with us, including our water bottles & proceeded to charge us an extra $40 CAD because combined, we were 11 lbs overweight. I understand where it seems like weight matters, but they never asked any of us our weight & the pilot didn't care where in the plane we sat or about balancing the plane out at all. So, really it was just a way to get more money out of us on a flight where our group of 5 were the only passengers.
We flew to Victoria basically following the Sea to Sky Highway down the inlet, which was a lot of fun to see. We were hoping to go over the mountains, but the pilot said to get that high takes too much gas, so we stayed low in the valley. Still fun.
The flight time was just over an hour. Once in Victoria, we were greeted by a very outgoing shuttle driver who gave us a quick tour of Victoria before dropping us off at our hotel. I would recommend the float plane adventure, however just know they take their charges for extra weight very seriously.
