Scott FenicalIt's hard to say enough great things about this experience! Took the family for the Seaplane ride late on a Sunday afternoon, and the tour couldn't have been better. Our pilot, Aaron, was incredibly knowledgeable, highly professional, and a ton of fun! I'm a local, but I still learned a ton and got to see some amazing familiar sights from a whole new perspective. My kids will never forget it. Thanks Seaplane!!! - 5 days ago×

Viktor FüriWorth every penny. If you have the cash dont miss the flying experience with a great pilot sharing a lot of information what we're seeing. We took the sunset tour, I believe the shorter does the thing as well. tip: Late afternon air is smoother, might disrupt the schedule with the morning fog. It is a must do in frisco. - 6 days ago×

Julia JonesA great great experience from start to finish. My daughter’s first trip in a helicopter but she was hooked from the first minute thanks to the lovely scenery and commentary from Mike. We had a beautiful day and could see everything very clearly. Would HIGHLY recommend the trip - thank you - 6 days ago×

Mark LambertoWhat an amazing experience at Seaplane Adventures! The staff was extremely helpful in coordinating the timing of my tour leading up to the day. My pilot Nazir was EPIC! Very professional and knowledgeable, he made my day! Also to fly in a vintage dehavilland beaver over San Fran, do I need to say anymore? I highly recommend this company, for their safety and expertise of the area. I look forward to returning again one day. Thanks Seaplane Adventures! - 2 weeks ago×

Better than I expected ! Was awesome all around. Originally booked for the seaplane but it had to do some maintenance so they offered a helicopter ride which we accepted and honestly the helicopter was a 10/10 experience. The pilot made it comfortable and was great the whole time. Views are amazing and I will be telling people to try this at least once in their lifetime . - 2 weeks ago ×

Neen JamesThe seaplane adventure with Seaplane Adventures was one of the best things we did during our San Francisco trip. From start to finish, the whole team went above and beyond.Chris organized our private pickup and was so helpful in the lead up to the trip, answering questions and making sure everything was set before we arrived. Sam at the front desk made sure we had everything we needed and then our pilot Nasir was fantastic, genuinely knowledgeable about the area and also fun to be around, and because it ended up being a private flight with just my sister and me on board, it felt like a true VIP experience soaring over the Golden Gate and the city skyline.What really set this apart was the extra care afterward. Chris personally drove us back so we'd make our 3:10 pm ferry, and even texted us hiking and restaurant recommendations for the rest of our time in San Francisco. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and it's what turns a good tour into a memory you'll treasure for a lifetime.If you're deciding whether to invest in this experience, do it. Between the flight and the people who made it all happen, this is money well invested. - 3 weeks ago×

Rich BoggsMy wife and I enjoyed a sunset champagne flight over the 4th of July weekend and it was spectacular! Flying over Muir Woods, Tiburon, the bay and then right over the city of SF? Wow! Nothing short of amazing. And taking off and landing on the water - so romantic. Aaron and his team are top professionals who deliver a safe, fun, first class experience! Highly recommended!! - 4 weeks ago×

SteveI found all the associates related to this tour to be incredible. They were very accommodating and my tour had to be rescheduled three times because of weather and logistical considerations. Mike the pilot of the helicopter was very safety conscious very talented and operating the helicopter and very knowledgeable in Sharing facts about the area. I found the company to be very accommodating as a new how important this flight was to me they went overboard to reschedule it three times because of heavy fog in the Bay Area that made it too dangerous to fly and then a second day there was a air restriction because of the Giants game so they worked around that. I got to sit in the co-pilot seat and it was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend their services and it was absolutely incredible.I flew on June 28, 2026I would highly recommend doing this it is incredible.Steve Zimmerman - 4 weeks ago×

Worth every penny: superb experience from star to finish Superb from start to finish. We had to make some scheduling changes, which they accommodated without a fuss. The trip just before sunset was spectacular- Eve, our pilot, couldn't have been a better tour guide. Friendly, helpful, informative and enthusiastic. Our 30 min trip was probably 45 mins in the end, finishing off with some great pics in front of the Sea Plane. 100% recommended (and I live here!) - 7 months ago ×
