5.00Superb from start to finish. We had to make some scheduling changes, which they accommodated without a fuss. The trip just before sunset was spectacular- Eve, our pilot, couldn't have been a better tour guide. Friendly, helpful, informative and enthusiastic. Our 30 min trip was probably 45 mins in the end, finishing off with some great pics in front of the Sea Plane. 100% recommended (and I live here!)
Fantastic Fog Skimming

5.00A great experience and a great way to see San Francisco and the Bay Area from the air. Aaron our pilot was very experienced and gave us confidence and we were able to get beautiful photos of the bridge, Sausalito and San Francisco.
São Francisco pelo ar. It's actually worth it!

5.00A phenomenal and spectacular experience is a great way to see San Francisco from the air, led by a true commander and wolf from the air, on a very reliable and safe plane.
Very nice!

5.00We booked a seaplane tour over San Francisco but didn’t have enough people, so we switched to a helicopter tour—and ended up loving it! Our pilot, Mike, was smooth, friendly, and made the experience unforgettable. The views are incredible ! The only hiccup was the meeting place info on Viator—it was incorrect, and Aero Adventures doesn’t offer shuttles, so we almost missed it. So beware when booking this tour, you need to drive to the SeaPlane adventures. Thankfully, Aero was very accommodating and helped us make it. I highly recommend any of the air tours from Aero Adventures!

5.00The whole experience was fantastic. You can never predict the fog in this beautiful area, but the pilot found every view regardless, he was funny, informed, full of fun facts. The view: Priceless.
