About Montague Harbour Seaplane Base
Montague Harbour Seaplane Base is a compact water-based air facility serving Galiano Island in British Columbia's Southern Gulf Islands. Instead of a conventional terminal, it operates from a dock in Montague Harbour on the island's southwestern shore, providing floatplane access for visitors and residents.
Located approximately 10 km from Sturdies Bay, the island's main BC Ferries terminal, the seaplane base helps connect Galiano Island with Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Floatplane operators including Seair Seaplanes and Harbour Air serve the dock, offering a practical alternative to ferry travel.
The base is intentionally small, with passenger handling focused on direct waterfront boarding rather than the check-in halls, security lines and retail areas found at major airports. Travelers should confirm schedules and check-in details directly with their seaplane operator.
From Montague Harbour, arriving visitors can reach Sturdies Bay, Montague Harbour Marine Provincial Park and other parts of Galiano Island by taxi, private transfer or pre-arranged vehicle.
