Hawaii From Above Flyover Canada | Vancouver's Best Places

Hawaii From Above is a feature film at Flyover in Vancouver. It used to show in Vancouver at the flying-experience tourist attraction at Canada Place sometimes.

Other films that show at Flyover Canada from time to time are Windborne: Call of the Canadian Rockies, Wonders of the American West, Legends of Iceland: Landscapes and Lore, Awaken Canada and Believe Chicago (the newest addition to the lineup). There are also special films during the Halloween and Christmas seasons.

In 2025 Hawaii From Above was at Flyover in Vancouver from early January until mid-March. Interestingly, those particular dates might be the final time the film is ever in Vancouver as we understand they are phasing the Hawaiian show out, although exact details are to be confirmed.

For tickets and full details about the attraction, see the Flyover website.

In addition to its regular multidimensional film about Canada, Flyover offers different films and experiences throughout the year. Hawaii From Above was one of several shows in the series.

From time to time the attraction releases new films featuring famous global locations too. Past films have featured countries like Iceland, China and the United States. The film that premiered in 2021 was all about Hawaii.

Hawaii From Above showcased the iconic Pacific islands in all their glory. Viewers got to see the state’s breathtaking volcanoes, forests and beaches.

What separates Flyover from other attractions is its ability to activate all your senses. Viewers don’t just see Hawaii – they can feel the environment too. Wind blows in people’s faces and the smells of Hawaii are present too. It feels like you’ve teleported directly to the islands!

With the Hawaiian film, the same as other Flyover experiences, before diving into the new main feature, there was a pre-show that showcased unique Hawaiian traditions. Notable portions of the film included scenes of Haleakala Volcano, Molokini Crater and Manta Rays in Maui.

With all Flyover films, viewers have to be at least 102 cm (about 3’5″) in height to participate. Children ages 12 and younger must be accompanied by a person who’s 14 years of age or older as well.

Prices and Times

Like Flyover’s previous specialty films, Hawaii From Above was a limited-time offering. In 2025 it showed from January 2nd until March 12th. During that time, Flyover at Canada Place was open from 10:00 am until 8:30 pm, at least until January 5th. Hours after that date were likely similar.

Films last for around 15 to 20 minutes. When the feature film was in town, the regular Flyover film and the Hawaiian one alternated every fifteen minutes or so.

Ticket prices vary based on the number of projected visitors to Flyover at Canada Place. As of mid-December 2024, adult tickets ranged between about $29 and $38. Kids under the age of 16 paid about $10 less than the adult rates. Prices tend to be higher on weekends.
