Twin Otter Aborts Water Landing in Victoria, BC – A Rare Sight!

Welcome to the lounge at Victoria Harbour Airport in beautiful Victoria, BC, Canada. This busy water aerodrome—code Charlie Yankee Whiskey Hotel—is one of the most exciting places to watch seaplanes in action. In this video, you’ll see a Harbour Air de Havilland Twin Otter abort its landing and circle the harbour for a second approach—a rare and dramatic moment caught on camera. We’ll also spot a lineup of incredible seaplanes, including the oldest de Havilland Otter still flying, proudly painted in the Canadian flag livery, and Harbour Air’s newest Twin Otter in matching colours. Kenmore Air’s Magee 2 makes an appearance as well, sporting the vibrant Evening Magazine livery. And for something a little different, we’ll catch a Helijet Sikorsky helicopter arriving and departing from the pad. Set against the backdrop of the stunning Olympic Mountains, this Made in Canada seaplane experience is packed with rare moments, iconic liveries, and nonstop aviation action. Please, sit back, relax, and enjoy this thrilling showcase of seaplane action over the waters of Victoria Harbour.

I want to take a moment to acknowledge that this footage was captured on the unceded territory of the Lekwungen people of the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations.
