Amazing start to finish. We took the shuttle from fisherman’s wharf which was exactly on time. The check-in process was quick and hassle-free. Daniel the captain was a star-extremely knowledgeable with a great wit. We found the whole experience worth every cent and would repeat the trip without hesitation. Thank you and well done to all concerned

I have lived in the Bay Area for 15 years and it is by far my favorite local adventure. I took my 3.5-year-old daughter up with me and it blew her mind. The staff was so friendly and fun and the views from the plane were breathtaking! I cannot want to take friends and family when they come to visit!
