We were very fortunate in that when we flew the fog was just starting to roll in off the Pacific and the Towers of the Golden Gate Bridge were sticking through. The sight was so memorable. We were flown over the city and around the bay and it was a fine and friendly experience. Thank you.

We had a blast! The views from the seaplane were wonderful. We've told so many people about you. Thanks so much. Wishing your business all the best.

This was quite an experience to fly in a small airplane taking off from the water. The staff was friendly and outstanding in their service. It gave my young children a bird's eye view of the city and all its sights, we would be exploring on ground later. It was a wonderful introduction to the city. We flew late in the day and the marine layer was coming but we were able to see it all and taking pictures out of the plane was easy. They all came out great. Make sure you ask to see the pilot's halo while you are up there. Fabulous.
