We had a great time. Our pilot Naz knew quite a bit about the area. We got to see everything on both sides of the plane

Not good shuttle bus never turned up waited for an hour in sun not well pleased
We had the chance to fly over the bay in good weather. The pilot commented on the different points of view. Very nice experience.
10/10 experience. The pilot and owner Aaron was very kind, knowledgeable, and caring with a special flight organized for my dad’s 83rd birthday. He went above and beyond, and the seaplane and flight were magical. Highly recommend!
What an amazing experience! Wonderful views of the Bay area- the flight brought the area into perspective. Our pilot was full of excellent information and I would urge anyone staying in the area to take this opportunity for wonderful sights of the Golden Gate Bridge amongst so many unforgettable views. Truly amazing
Excellent adventure for locals and tourists alike. This flight was my birthday gift from my wife. The view was gorgeous all the way. The pilot was very friendly, explained the points of interest along the route. We flew all the way to Point Reyes, circled the lighthouse, watched the waterfalls, crossed above the Golden Gate and circled the downtown San Francisco, Angel Island and Alcatraz. The flight was smooth, and taking off and landing on the water was very unusual, definitely adding to the uniqueness of this experience.
The seaplane tour is such a special and unique experience, and one I'd recommend for locals as well as visitors. If you live in the Bay Area you will see many familiar sights from a totally new vantage point. The views are incredible (bring a camera) and the pilot is knowledgeable and experienced. I felt totally safe and at ease and my kids especially loved it, as they've been begging to go on the seaplane for months.
This trip came highly recommended from good friends. Unfortunately we did not have the same good experience they had. It was a cloudy day and we received a call that the tour would be canceled due to poor visibility. Then a half hour later got a call that the pilot came back and said it was clear and the tour was back on. So we showed up. This was supposed to be the greater bay area tour. I was told when i booked it we would go up the coast toward Sonoma. In short our tour ended up being Emeryville, the Richmond Bridge and the prison. - basically the same as my commute to work. We did see a look of Mt Tam, but no SF sights at all and no coastline. Underwhelming. I think that the operators should have us back on a clear day so we can have a better experience for the $$$ we paid.
The greater bay area Seaplane tour enables its passengers to get a spectacular view from the air, to see the scale and beauty of San Francisco. My family members and I thoroughly enjoyed it! well worth the price in my humble opinion. I would highly recommend.
Omg this was our best trip!! We loved it. After checking in and a short but necessary safety briefing we were given Wellington boots to walk to the plane. The tide was in a little so they saved our shoes getting wet. The pilot was very friendly and informative. We shared our flight with another couple. There are 6 seats including the pilot. You get a headset with microphone each. The flight was very smooth considering its a small aircraft. The views were amazing. The bay, city, woods, sea, coast, bridge. Lasted 45 mins as described. It was so exciting. I would definitely recommend doing it.
