Victoria Harbour (Camel Point) Heliport

Common Complaints

• Noise and Smell in Aircraft: Passengers note that the small planes can be noisy (requiring earplugs, which are often provided) and may have a smell of hot diesel.
• Cramped Seating: The seating in the aircraft can be tight with limited legroom and width, especially in smaller planes like the Twin Otter.
• Cost: While convenient, both Helijet and Harbour Air services are more expensive than alternative transportation options like the ferry.
• Turbulence: Due to the small size of the aircraft, flights can experience bumpy conditions in windy weather.
• Luggage Restrictions: Luggage allowances can be somewhat limited or optimal and heavier bags may incur additional costs. All luggage is typically stored in a cargo hold.
• Lack of Security and Customs Information: Information specifically about security wait times and customs/immigration experience directly at the heliport is not readily available in recent traveler reviews, though standard airport security information generally applies. However, one recent review of Harbour Air mentioned "no security or bag check".

Overall, Victoria Harbour Heliport offers a highly efficient and enjoyable travel experience for those prioritizing speed and scenic beauty. While the cost and potential for a less spacious ride are considerations, the convenience and quality of service generally outweigh these minor drawbacks for most travelers.
