Full description

Your aviation escapade begins by soaring over the picturesque Marin County, where verdant hills meet the sparkling waters of Tomales Bay. But this is just the beginning.

As you glide along the Pt. Reyes National Seashore, keep your eyes peeled for playful porpoises and majestic whales cavorting in the sea below. The pièce de résistance? The awe-inspiring Pt. Reyes Lighthouse, perched dramatically on the rugged coastline, presenting a vista that seems plucked from a dream.

Following the coastline is like tracing the spine of a magnificent creature. The tour will unveil breathtaking beach views, the enchanting allure of Highway One, and then, there it is—the one and only Golden Gate Bridge. As you cruise above San Francisco, your pilot doubles as your tour guide, pointing out the hotspots for sports enthusiasts seeking the iconic Oracle Park and the home turf of the San Francisco Giants.

And what's a Bay Area adventure without a rendez-vous with history? Your flight will encircle the historic Alcatraz and Angel Islands, whispering tales of bygone eras as you circle overhead. The grand finale awaits as your seaplane makes a splashy return, gliding down into the tranquil waters of Richardson Bay.
