Great flight on a seaplane! Smooth takeoff, stunning ocean views, and a perfect water landing!Flying on a seaplane was unforgettable! We lifted off gently from the water, soared over islands and blue waves, and touched down smoothly again. The views were stunning—pure adventure in the sky and sea!

We had a great experience on our 30-min flightseeing tour over Miami and beaches. The views were amazing and the staff was great. We had a fun small-world moment when we learned our seaplane and pilot had visited my hometown in NW Wisconsin.

I booked this experience as a surprise birthday gift for my husband and he loved every minute of it. He is an aspiring pilot and I am usually scared of small planes but I was very comfortable. The pilot was extremely knowledgeable about the seaplane and the surrounding areas. The view was incredible and of course taking off and landing on water is a core memory. Unforgettable. I already recommended it to a few friends.

It was a beautiful day to fly. Also enjoyed the boat ride to meet up with the seaplane. Pilot gave us a great view of Miami. We were able to see manatees and sharks in the water. Ride was very smooth. Pilot very nice and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this tour.

A truly beautiful experience. Very professional staff. As a pilot myself I can attest that this flight was done on a very professional level. I surprised my wife with this flight for her birthday. Couldn’t have done any better. Do it! It’s worth the money.

I purchased this package for 2 as a Valentines gift. It was a surprise flight. On the date we arrived 15 min prior and contacted an operator as we were instructed. Our flight was from 10 and to 10:30am. We were told to wait in the lobby for their agent to meet us. Nobody came and at 10:05 I called again. I was told that agent was there and didn't see us (while we were sitting on the sofa in the center of the lobby and nobody else were there!). They apologized and said they are coming back again.
At 10:25 I called again and asked what's going on. Agent said he will check again. At 10:35 I called again to complain and was told that there will be a boat show and they can't fly that day. They asked if we want to reschedule or a refund.
Seriously?? We lost almost an hour to get there. Got to wait for them for another hour just to meet us and then they told us they have to cancel? Of course we asked for a refund. No respect to this company. They could tell us about the issue at least the day before (boat show does not happen suddenly) and do not lie to us that somebody on the way to meet us. It was the worst gift for Valentine's day received.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
We are very sorry you were not able to fly this time. On this day there was a boat show and the Marina management had assured us access to our vessel inside the Venetia Marina and at the last moment they rescinded their permission and we were left to adjust our operations. We asked if you would meet our Captain at a location north of us and you said no and requested a full refund which we made to you.
Again we apologize for this inconvenience.

The service was awesome.. Pilot had so much knowledge and was so friendly. He even recommended us some good places to visit an eat. The view from the top is amazing and you can sea entire Miami in one go. Worth every penny spent.

The pilot was great and the tour was awesome! My headset didn’t work well but I was able to figure out how to hold it in a position that worked.

We have replaced that headset and look forward to your next visit.
Thank you for sharing.

Everyone involved in our trip from the time of booking until it ended were absolutely wonderful. Nicole was great at calling us numerous time to keep us updated concerning the weather and our trip. The captain on the boat was very nice, informative and funny during our trip out to the planes located on a little island that day. We were then greeted by the pilots with big smile on their faces. All of them were so nice in helping myself and my husband off the boat and onto the plane. The plane ride was an awesome experience. We loved Taking off and Landing in the water. We would highly recommend this company for the adventure of a lifetime. We will be doing this again sometime in the future.
Response from Host, Nov 2021
Sandy,

Could not dot it. Was a little windy and stuff so rude. Definitely not paying that again. Do not recommend they is better option for tourist.
Response from Host, Mar 2021
Hello Tomas. We are sorry that you were not able to experience our seaplane tour. We instruct our customers to contact us at 9 am on the day of the tour to receive current weather conditions. Unfortunately you did not call. Because you did not call, we dispatched our Crews and received you upon arrival. As you prepared to board our vessel, you decided you did not want to fly due to the windy conditions. We explained that at this point there will be no refund or rescheduling options. You decided to leave, and we continued our flights with other clients that day.

It's difficult to put into words how breathtaking this 30 minute tour was. As part of an anniversary weekend, I scheduled this as a surprise for my husband and it is the best way(and most romantic) to view the Miami Biscayne Bay area. Beautiful, fun, entertaining, relaxing. I highly recommend.
Elisabeth_S, Jan 2018
It was so cool.Next time we will book the longer flight to the keys.
Kathryn D, Oct 2017

What an amazing experience it was to fly on a seaplane above Miami. My mom and I had a blast. Will definitely fly again.
clive k, Aug 2017
Fantastic - highly recommend- our pilot Dale was brilliant - got some excellent photos of Miami - good value for money - not scary at all.
Elizabeth_L, Feb 2017
Adriel was our pilot. He was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed every moment of our trip and felt completely safe at all times. The entire experience is fabulous and the views are beautiful. The highlight and delight for me was how incredibly clear the water was. You could easily see sharks and manatees right through the water. It was beautiful. We highly recommend the Miami Seaplane Tour.
Mary_M, Jan 2017
Taking off and landing on water on purpose is a thrill in itself. We flew over Biscayne Bay, the Miami Aquarium, Miami and its shoreline, including South Beach. Weather was perfect. We can cross another item off our bucket list. Highlight of the tour: being carried on and off the plane by the pilot so my feet did not get wet! Now that's service
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sarah O'DELL, Jun 2016
The best excursion I have ever done. Our pilot was A**
We saw wild dolphins and sharks and the Miami skyline and beaches from so many perspectives. I can't recommend this anymore
