Why fly with Seaplane and Aero Adventures?
Experience the San Francisco skyline from the water and the Bay Area from the sky. Hover over the stunning landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge on a Seaplane Tour or take a longer excursion to marvel at the stunning giant redwoods of Muir Woods on a Helicopter Tour or gorgeous vineyard in the Napa Wine Country from the sky.
All of our tours were born out of a passion for the San Francisco Bay area and the wonder of flying in a float plane or helicopter.
Seaplane Adventures was founded by a returning World War II veteran with a desire to share Seaplane instruction. When Aaron Singer took over, he took that passion for Seaplanes and brought it to the public through seaplane tours. Seaplanes have played a significant role in American and world history. Our pilots have an admiration for that history and the unique experience seaplanes have to offer. That unique seaplane experience combined with the stunning views of the Bay Area makes a perfect place for our pilots to share their passion with curious visitors. Now we have added helicopter tours to our family of flights, providing a perfect addition to our current tour and charter services. Customers who have enjoyed a seaplane tour over San Francisco in the past will love the new tour option, giving them an exciting new opportunity to fly the City by the Bay!

I am a wedding elopement photographer and reached out to them to create a unique elopement experience and to showcase a fun beautiful proposal for my couples. Their team is so friendly and helpful and customized a wonderful day/flight for us. They are a true gem in the San Francisco area and offer such a cool way to see the sites from above. Both of my couples were head over heals for the experience. One of my couples have lived in the city their whole live's and just loved seeing all of their favorite places from the sky. It was true romantic adventure at it's best. It's location is perfect for blending it into a fun day or weekend endeavor. I can't recommend this business and team enough. Looking forward to more seaplane adventures! read less

My husband and I took our 1 year old daughter who smiled the whole time and loved looking out the window. The plane ride was so smooth and we actually felt safer than flying in regular commercial planes. The team at Seaplane Adventures are very helpful and want to make sure you have the best experience - we had booked for October, but the weather was not in our favor so they rescheduled our tour with no issues. Would gladly do this again! read less

The pilot/guide John was very fun and informative, while giving everyone the experience of a lifetime. The views were unbelievable and something I will remember forever. Only downside, we were never given and champagne and when I asked after the tour, I was told the champagne had to be purchased separately. Little disappointed by that has it says in the description it was included. read less
