Victoria BC from Above — 4 Minutes of Vancouver Island Coast & Lakes

Victoria’s not just a city you visit — it’s a view you chase. And sometimes, the only way to really see it is from the air.

We took the DJI Air 3S (with the Mini 3 as backup) out for a spin and stitched together four minutes of pure Vancouver Island: coastlines, lakes, sunsets, and skies that look like they were painted by a pyromaniac.

The Spots We Hit

This isn’t real estate fluff. It’s the places that make people pack up and move here (or never leave in the first place):

• Cordova Bay — when the sky catches fire at sunset, the ocean turns into molten glass.

• Esquimalt Lagoon — sand, driftwood, and coastal wildlife right on the edge of Colwood.

• Thetis Lake & Glen Lake — calm, mirror-like mornings that scream “Westshore life.”

• Muir Creek — rugged, untamed shoreline west of Sooke.

• Telegraph Cove — a tucked-away West Coast gem.

Why We Fly

This is still a passion project — a hobby that’s trying its best to become a business. But the beauty of Vancouver Island makes it hard not to keep flying. Whether it’s construction updates, hospitality promos, or content for local businesses, drones give you a perspective you just can’t get any other way.
