About Campbell River Seaplane Base
Campbell River Seaplane Base is a water aerodrome on Tyee Spit, about two kilometres from downtown Campbell River on the east coast of central Vancouver Island. It serves as the city's harbour gateway for floatplane travel, with IATA code YHH, handling scheduled and charter seaplane services along the British Columbia coast.
Operated from the Tyee Spit dock area, the base is used by operators including Harbour Air, Vancouver Island Air, and Corilair Charters. Harbour Air launched scheduled service in July 2026, connecting Campbell River with downtown Vancouver Harbour in about 55 minutes.
Because it sits at the water's edge, the base links travellers directly to the Discovery Islands, coastal communities, fishing lodges, and remote wilderness destinations reachable by floatplane. Campbell River is known as the Salmon Capital of the World, and the seaplane base supports both tourism and local access.
On the ground, the base is close to downtown Campbell River, where taxis, private transfers, rental cars, and local roads provide onward connections. Its compact passenger facilities keep arrivals and departures straightforward for the short-haul seaplane journeys it handles.
