Will be on holiday in Vancouver at the end of this week.

Looking for a couple of hours in a floatplane with an instructor on either Saturday/Sunday/Monday to combine a little sightseeing with trying something different.

I have around 180 hours total time and a basic FAA pilot certificate. Any recommendations gratefully received? I will have transport.

Not essential this trip, but I'd also like to do an FAA BFR if there are any FAA instructors in the area!?

Cheers!

I have been looking in floatplane licencing recently so have some contact names of comapnies in Vancouver which you can find here British Columbia - The Seaplane Pilots Association (http://www.seaplanes.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=129&Itemid=172) However I have not got any first hand experience.
