Description

Set off on a unique seaplane flight to discover San Francisco and the Golden Gate from the sky!

Leaving from Fisherman’s Wharf, a shuttle bus will transport you to the flight departure point (for 30, 45 and 60-minute flights). If you wish, you can also choose to make your own way to the departure point in Sausalito.

The plane takes off from the waters of Sausalito, a lovely seaside village located at the other end of Golden Gate Bridge. Each passenger will have an individual window to fully enjoy the incredible panoramic view across the city. You will fly over the most beautiful sites of San Francisco, including the famous Golden Gate Bridge, the 230-metre-high suspension bridge that spans the bay.

Different circuits are available, allowing you to fly over San Francisco Bay and its beautiful beaches, Golden Gate Park, and even the Pacific Coast. At the end of your tour, you’ll make a smooth landing in Sausalito’s Richardson Bay. Once you’re back on firm dry land, a shuttle will be ready to take you back to San Francisco if you wish to take it.
