Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Make your way to the seaplane base in Sausalito, a quaint Mediterranean-style village that’s a quick drive or ferry ride from San Francisco. Meet your experienced pilot and climb aboard the seaplane, which makes an ideal sightseeing machine thanks to high wings and large viewing windows. Every passenger is guaranteed a window seat, so you won't miss a thing as your pilot narrates the passing sights below.

Feel the thrill of lifting off into the air as you fly above the shoreline, taking in spectacular views. Then, head straight for San Francisco's most recognizable landmark with a pass right over the arches of the Golden Gate Bridge. See the bay water spilling out into the Pacific Ocean, and watch city dwellers flocking to the lawn and beaches of Crissy Field.

Admire the historic and modern skyscrapers of downtown San Francisco and the field at Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. Enjoy a fantastic aerial view of Angel Island and the infamous island prison of Alcatraz before the flight concludes with a smooth touchdown back in Sausalito's Richardson Bay.

Guys , We could not have picked a clearer & more spectacularly sunny day on "Boxing Day" in December for our Seaplane Tour . Our pilot (Fred) was a so sociable and informative about the area and also went that 'extra mile' to make our tour so much more enjoyable. We can't say enough about how good the tour was . It was only 20 minutes but was more than enough time to take in all the local San Francisco sights and felt so much longer than just 20 mins ! Many thanks Fred and all the team . Love Johnny & Jenna Bray
