Private Sightseeing Flight above the Arcachon Bay
Description
UP, UP, and AWAY! Experience the fun of flying PRIVATELY in a small aeroplane. Discover the stunning Arcachon region from above with a local private pilot who shares his passion for aviation and area with you. Plan the flight route with your pilot while adhering to local safety guidelines, meeting directly at at either Andernos-les-Bains or Arcachon Aerodrome. Your pilot is key to this adventure, sharing the flights' direct cost, not making a profit. After booking, we will match you with a pilot, and send you all flight details when confirmed. Departure airfields can't be chosen beforehand as it depends on pilot and aircraft availability. Experience time capped at 4 hours for flexibility, with flights scheduled at any hour in your chosen morning or afternoon slot. Safety is our top priority! To ensure a smooth booking process, we request essential security details. Missing one detail could delay matching you with a pilot, so stay connected with us once you’ve booked.

We hired Awake Travel to manage a small group of Americans in Colombia who have many happy years with our services as a DMC in Mexico. We think this agency could operate our participants as we handle them. But just a few days before the group arrived, they made several hotel changes and also on the long pre-agreed itinerary. Also, the service very unprofessional, and at first the bewildered group. Instead of a single transport, which we had specified, there were many changes on the fly, different guides, etc. Until the last few days, there was no continuity or integration of services and participants quite perplexed. Just until the last few days, it improved a little and finally the group could be pleased. But you never have to use this agency. They're nothing but mediocre, rather inept and lacking in knowledge like running a highly specialized group like us. If we had told ourselves from the beginning, we would have sought some other competent service for this movement.
The pilot Stéphane was very nice and very pleasant! The flight was beautiful on the arcachon basin, the time was up! Very nice experience! I recommend!
A breathtaking experience We discover the basin from an angle that we never see All simply magnificent In the top!
