Excellent service and flight with seaplane adventures. lovely views and great knowledge from the pilot. Would thoughrly recommend booking but not with shuttle service from GetYourGuide. complete failure on that side of things. Ended up making our own way to Suasalito and back then had claim payment back from tour company. Flight definitley worth it though

I've lived in San Francisco for 20 years, and every time I see one of these planes fly overhead I think, "Why not me?" Today it finally was me! Absolutely awesome tour. Seeing them from the air has already inspired me to do more hikes of Mt. Tam and the Point Reyes National Seashore. The plane was very comfortable. I'm 6'6" and very wide, and it was more comfortable than sitting in coach. We waited until the day-of to book because the weather can be so fickle around here. We had great weather and no fog, which obviously made it fantastic.
Amazing

This hour-long Seaplane Tour has been on my bucket list for year! So happy I finally did it and I highly recommend it to everyone! The tour was so exciting and enjoyable! All safety precautions were observed. All five passengers on my flight were comfortable and safe. Excellent views! Informative and congenial pilot who kept us entertained throughout the flight. Get a group together and go! You won't regret it!

Awesome experience! Fred, my pilot, and the rest of the staff made me feel welcome and the operation was clearly well run. The 1hr tour was well worth the money with gorgeous up close views of both the natural beauty of the coast and the city and surrounding historic sites of San Francisco itself. Recommend a time near sunset if possible.
