Our pilot Tony took us on a wonderful tour of the Keys. Lunch was great. He was a mine of information and fun to spend some time with. Could not recommend it more highly.

Waited an entire hour. Plane wasn’t ready. We left. Get it together. Didn’t get to experience the plane ride
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Nathaniel, I am very sorry to have disappointed you both, our business involves substantial logistics some of which are performed by third parties. Today we were not able to get to you because one of our partners slipped up...not an excuse but beyond our control. You received a full refund and a sincere apology.
I hope you will give us another try in the future.

This was an absolutely amazing experience.
The views were unreal.
We saw sea turtles, manitees, and a double rainbow 🌈 while in flight beyond the amazing views of the Keys and Miami Beach. So gorgeous.
Our Captain was so fun and full of knowledge.

This trip was simply magical! We received it as a gift from friends for our bday and it was the best gift ever. This is the only seaplane authorized to fly at 500ft (most are at 2000ft) so we were w able to see sharks, stingrays, turtles, and coral. But what made the trip special was Captain Tony, who was the most lovable, knowledgeable and skilled pilot and taught us so much about what we were seeing. We will definitely do this again if Captain Tony is flying!!
Response from Host, Nov 2021
Thank you for your kind words!
I look forward to flying with you again soon...

Surprised my wife for our 14th anniversary - Once we parked, we took a boat ride out to the plane (she thought the boat ride itself was the surprise because Tony was a great tour guide!). Got into the plane and raced Tony in his boat as we took off. Our captain, Adriel, was absolutely amazing - we flew at around 200-300 feet on the way to Upper Mayecumbe Key so we could see sea turtles, manatees, sharks (including a hammerhead!). Adriel was such an amazing and entertaining guide … I’ve lived in Florida for most of my life and I learned a lot. I also have only ever seen 2 sea turtles in the wild (even though Boating is a normal occurrence for me) and we saw dozens of them!! Some clusters with babies! The ride itself was very comfortable- I was expecting it to be very hot, but the plane was well vented and breezy the entire time. Adriel took his time getting to the restaurant giving us plenty of opportunity to take in the views. The food and service was great and we were able to enjoy our meal, the view from the beach, and a few cocktails. I was expecting the ride back to be shorter as described by other reviews, but it was almost an hour as Adriel circled some sharks for us to see as well as gave us incredible views of the city. Adriel clearly loves his job and makes the entire experience that much more amazing. 10/10 will do again!! Absolutely worth every penny!
Response from Host, Nov 2021
Adriel is a Native home grown nature lover that is as passionate about sharing his knowledge of South Florida and its 3 great National parks as he is using a seaplane as the perfect platform to do so. Thank you for sharing!

Flight was good- hot, but good. Restaurant was busy and delays in our orders. Pooled was personable and attentive
Response from Host, Apr 2021
Thank you for your patronage, sometimes we debate between flying at lower altitudes so our customers can see turtles and other marine life versus higher with cooler temps but much different views. We encourage our guests to express their preference. The Restaurant that day was experiencing a higher than usual volume and we apologize for their delay.

The pilot and his staff are extremely professionally. They made me feel safe and appreciated. It’s priceless
Response from Host, Apr 2021
Hello Zay! Thank you for your review and hope to see you again real soon!
Angie_T, Mar 2021
An absolutely incredible, unforgettable time! Adrial knew so much about the area between Miami and the Keys and made my daughter and I completely comfortable flying on a seaplane for the first time! I cannot stress enough what an amazing experience this was! The customers at the restaurant are quite intrigued when you arrive by plane and many got up and waved bye! We saw so many sharks and a giant sea turtle down below! BOOK IT❤️
Response from Host, Mar 2021
Hello Angie! Thank you for your review, and we hope to see you again soon!
James_C, Mar 2021
I loved it both my partner and I are in aviation so I booked this for V-day! That being said We felt supper rushed... Fly town to the keys get off quickly eat to fly back... If I would have had an option to pay slightly more to enjoy my self! Also the meal voucher is $50 dollars we understand the listing said this how ever its not obvious within the ticket information.... for 2 people it was almost $900 the meal should have been completely included. Overall I would do this again
Response from Host, Apr 2025
James,
We are sorry to hear you felt rushed, the offer is 3 hours round trip, that is 1 hour to the restaurant, 1 hour to eat and 1 hour to return. If you needed more time on location you could have asked this before hand, sometimes we are able to accommodate. We now offer three destinations for dining giving you our guest more choices.
We hope to see you again and thank you for sharing.

A very cool trip to take. I say YOLO (you only live once) type. The views were amazing from the plane. You meet at the dock and a gentleman will drive you 5-10 min out in the water by boat to meet the plane. From there you jump in and take off. About 45 min to you land in the water to pull up to eat at a restaurant. Everyone is looking at you at the restaurant because you pulled up in a plane! The food was good (bar food) and the drinks were cheap. $50 credit is applied so you cover anything over that. I bought a couple of drinks , 2 meals and app and I owed $20 on top. Then come back for another 40 min or so back. On the way back you are flying at 2k ft vs coming down around 1k ft.

Had a great experience! Our pilot was informative but definitely not “too much” we ate lunch at the drop off, and food and drinks were great! The experience was a surprise for my husband and the man that took us to the plane was really good at keeping it under wraps until we got to the seaplane. Felt really safe and looked after the entire time and just a really good experience overall. Would definitely use them again for another trip, and 100% recommending to everyone i know. Thank you for the trip!!

This was the best flight, event, excursion, I have ever experienced. A quality service. The flight was amazing. The pilot, Tony, the owner of the company, was exceptional. He made our special day the best it could ever be. Outstanding service, above and beyond. His personality was awesome. I will do this again. Thank you Tony!

One of the best experiences ever. The views of nature are absolutely incredible including seeing sharks, turtles, manatees, ducks flying in formation below the plane. As well as blue waters, water currents, island formation, rain falling, etc. The perspective of what surrounds us changes when you see it from above. The plane is very stable. The guide (Adrian) very knowledgeable. Only let down was perhaps the spot were we had lunch. It is of good quality but nothing special.

This is a complete MUST!!!
It is an incredible way to see the whole area, our pilot was great and full of fun and informative facts. We saw SO much sea life too.
I really can not recommend this highly enough.
Thank you for one of the best flights we have EVER had.
Ruddy S, Jan 2018
What an amazing experience... I planned this trip for my wife's birthday and to say she blown away with happiness is an understatement. My wife became the envy of all her friends.
From the BEGINNING my first phone call to make to book our tour the agent was kind and incredibly helpful.
But what truly made it memorable was the PILATE. He was so knowledgable and his passion for flying and his environment was everywhere. He gave us a tour something that we did not expect. I thought he would just fly us to the island, we would eat and fly us back. Instead he not only gave us headphones and put on relaxing music so that we wouldn't be bothered by the sound of the aircraft, he also gave us an amazing tour....
The restaurant was also exceptional. The food was fresh and beyond delicious. The service at the restaurant was warm and inviting. I can't thank you all enough....
I will absolutely recommend this over and over again. As matter of fact a friend of mine is booking the same tour for their wedding anniversary... I would give this 10 stars if i could...
Thank you

This was one of the best experiences I had. I loved it and would highly recommended. The pilot was amazing! The views were amazing! Never felt scared, the flight was very safe.
Tony_I, Jul 2016
This was a fantastic excursion. It was a perfect amount of time flying and a relaxing lunch. The pilot did a great job pointing out sea turtles and giving a history of the islands. Taking off and landing in a seaplane is also worth the trip!
