Description

This 40-45 minute flight will begin with take-off from the seaplane base in the lovely bayside village of Sausalito just across the Golden Gate Bridge. Then, fly right over the Golden Gate National Reserve and out along the coast beyond the Golden Gate. This coastline has been sculpted by fantastic geologic forces over hundreds of millions of years, making the San Francisco Bay Area one of the most active seismic zones in the world!

Fly out to the wide, sandy beaches of Stinson Beach, then over the majestic and ancient redwoods of Muir Woods, and finally back over the legendary Golden Gate Bridge herself! Then on above Crissy Field, Downtown San Francisco, AT&T Park - Home of the Major League Baseball World Champion San Francisco Giants, then on over the infamous island prison of Alcatraz.

Finally, your flight will be completed with a pass by the historic Angel Island - the Immigrant Gateway to the West and a smooth landing back in Sausalito’s Richardson Bay.

Flights may be cancelled and routes altered due to weather.

Best Birthday Flight! So happy I decided to celebrate my Birthday with Aero Adventures! Thank you Marylee, Anna, John and Ren for making the day so special. Nothing can compare to flying over SF and the Golden Gate. I have sailed under the Golden Gate but there is something truly special SOARING over the Golden Gate! Floating along the Bay preparing to take-off (engine ROARING) is magical. I can't wait for my next Flight! -E.A.H.-Lockhart a.k.a jumpjet

Aaron is a terrific pilot, host. I've lived in Marin for most of my life, yet learned so much from him about history. The views were, of course, dramatic, but Aaron's voiceover and piloting skills were the magical glue. Highly recommend.

"An amazing Seaplane Adventure...over the top!!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed April 09, 2024
This was so much better than I had expected. From booking the flight to the actual experience. Everyone was so friendly and helpful! Mary Lee welcomed us as if we were family. I took my dad for his 80th birthday. He forgot his coat (if you go, you should bring a jacket), so Mary Lee immediately helped us get a sweatshirt with no delays. There were six of us total and what a great day! My 79 year old mom almost didn't go because she was nervous about climbing into the plane but Aaron the pilot along with Renato (Ren) made her feel safe and secure as she boarded and de-boarded. They were awesome! Up in the air, the views were incredible, Aaron shared the history of the Bay with us over the headsets that we were available for us on the flight. I've lived in the area for over 40 years and I was surprised at the tidbits that I didn't know. If you've ever thought about riding in a SeaPlane, don't delay! It was seriously a blast and a lifelong memory! Thank you Mary Lee, Aaron and Renato - we had an amazing tour and thank you to Ann (for all the helpful email correspondence)!
