This floatplane tour far exceeded our expectations, giving us spectacular views of San Francisco landmarks and the surrounding gorgeous coastline/natural areas, narrated through 2-way headsets by our knowledgeable pilot. We have amazing memories and photos and a geographical/topographical understanding of the area you can't get by seeing San Francisco any other way. 100% recommend!! read less

Our pilot Aaron took us on a marvellous flying experience along the Bay, the Golden Gate, the coastline and the city. Flying a seaplane is quite a unique experience, and we definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to remember this as the experience of a lifetime - "the fun way is no runway"! read less

Longer version:
* We are a family of 4 who occupied the entire back side of the, what was like a prop plane with a Pratt& Whitney engine.
* The prop was noisy, but we had headphones with which the pilot communicated with us.
* A total of 5 can fit in a plane.
* Given it was early in the season, we were able to book the plane out schedule after we went in person to book. It was difficult to get a booking for 4 online.
* The headphones were comfortable even for the kids (9 and 6).
* The liftoff from the water was nice.
* The views from this perspective was spectacular.
* We went on 45 min flight.
* Our daughter felt a little bit of nausea, but nothing major.
* The landing was smooth and comfortable.
* The pilot explained a bunch, though at times it does get difficult to quickly observe the sight and absorb the details the pilot provides on what we were looking at. read less

The office is incredibly friendly and efficient, and Aaron, our pilot, was beyond professional. We floated over the city's iconic scenery and landmarks, feeling 100 percent snug and safe in the roaring, reliable Dehaviland Beaver. You owe it to yourself to see the full breadth of the Bay Area from the air, and Seaplane Adventures is the outfit to trust. read less

We were lucky with the weather (after we had to reschedule due to heavy winds) with blue skies and clear views.
