Introduction
Experience the thrill of a seaplane flight over San Francisco. Taking off from the water in Marin County, you’ll embark on a roughly 30-minute scenic flight that showcases the Bay Area’s beauty. From the window of the small seaplane, gaze down at the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and the San Francisco skyline. You might also swoop along the Pacific coastline and over the hills of Marin for more stunning views. Every seat is a window seat, and the pilot provides commentary about the sights below. It’s an unforgettable aerial adventure that ends with a gentle water landing back in the bay.
What To Expect
- With high wings and big windows, seaplanes are ideal for panoramic sightseeing.
- When booking this San Francisco seaplane tour, choose the departure time that best suits your schedule; if you need transportation from the city to Sausalito, it’s available from Fisherman’s Wharf upon request.
- In Sausalito, board your plane and take off from the water with your experienced pilot, who will point out landmarks during your relaxing flight that takes you over the redwood trees of Muir Woods, the Pacific shoreline, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
- Head toward downtown San Francisco, cruising past sights like Fisherman’s Wharf and the Transamerica Pyramid, and circle over the bay for views of Alcatraz Island and Angel Island.
