Lift from Lamirada to Miami

A must when visiting the Miami area. Our pilot Tony was amazing and had a lot of knowledge of the area. We flew from Islamirada to Miami and he explained the history and ecological system of the area. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

Great flight on a...

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!

Must-do tour in Miami

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.

Incredible memories in the sky and on the water.

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.

Excellent Experience

The reservation and check in process was a bit sketchy, but it is worth the hassle. We opted for the 30-minute North Biscayne tour. After figuring out the parking situation, we waited in what appeared to be hotel lobby. Our flight time came and went, we were nervous. Then the tour guide arrived. He apologized for the wait. He led us out to the marina and asked us to sit in a waiting area for a few minutes while he shuttled a couple ahead of us. Upon his return, he led us to a mid-sized boat and ferried us out to the middle of the bay. It was really cool to see the seaplane come in for a landing and then meet up with the boat in the middle of the bay. The boat ride in the bay was added value. The people in the plane jumped in the boat and then we loaded into the plane. It was a Cessna 172 Skyhawk Seaplane. A little older but very well maintained. Our pilot was friendly and very professional. He explained everything he was doing and all the safety features. Our take off was exciting. Our flight was at the end of the day, and we were able to see an absolutely amazing sunset behind the Miami skyline. We flew over the Biscayne National Park. Our pilot narrated the trip the whole way. We flew over the big cruise ships as we approached our landing. The pilot landed the plane in the middle of the bay with a perfect landing. We then met our boat and ferried back to the marina. Our experience was fun, exciting, and well worth the price. The team was very professional. My wife and I felt very safe with the whole flight operation. If anyone else decides to book with this company, do not worry about the check in process, it will be ok. Hang in there, it is worth it. We met the owner during this tour. He is wonderful person. This is a small company that provides a great experience. We highly recommend this trip.

Brilliant driver, unforgettable experience. To do and redo urgently!

The views were magnificent, the guide friendly, the pilot very comfortable and competent! Passengers just need to be able to interact with the pilot using a microphone placed on the helmet. Magnificent experience!
