(December - April)

Join us for a Seaplane Safari “Whale Watching” Adventure. Our safari is better than going to Africa; we won’t shoot anything but beautiful pictures.

Our “Whale Watching” Seaplane Safari is more exciting and more comfortable than bobbing up and down in a crowded “cattle boat” whale tour. California Gray whales travel south from Alaska, past San Diego, on the way to give birth to their new calves in the warm bays and lagoons of Baja California. The new whale babies along with their moms and dads head back north mid winter and early spring to spend the summer months feeding in Alaska. We spot the California Gray Whales off the coast of San Diego from November to April each year. During our tour, along with whales we often see pods of playful dolphins and slaphappy seals or barking sea lions.  With the right conditions (clear water and small surf) we often see dozens of young leopard sharks in the waters near the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club.  Breathtaking “Romantic Sunset" Flights are available (See below).

Other sights that are usually seen on our 30 minute aerial “Whale Watching” tour:

• Torrey Pines Golf Course and Glider Port
• Del Mar Race Track and Fairgrounds
• Pacific Beach
• Belmont Park and the Big Dipper Roller Coaster
• Mission Bay
• Sea World
• Point Loma and the Cabrillo Light House
• Naval Air Station North Island
• Naval Base San Diego - 32nd Street Naval Station, the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet ship yards
• Downtown San Diego and water front including Seaport Village & Petco Park
• The Hotel Del Coronado
• San Diego skyline
• Coronado Bay bridge
• Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo . . . and many more sites.

Schedule your flight for an evening “Romantic Sunset" Air Tour and watch the famous “green flash” from high above beautiful San Diego.  Our VIP sunset flight is ideal for birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions or for whenever you feel like adding a little spice into your life.  Our Seaplane Safari is just the perfect way to set the mood for romance.  After your flight, you can choose to have VIP treatment at a Bay Front Restaurant (for San Diego Bay departures) or an airport restaurant of your choosing (for Montgomery Field Airport Departures): 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant, Casa Machado Restaurant or Pampas Argentine Steakhouse Grill.  Our Romantic Sunset Flights are an additional $ 20 per person, including beverage.  Restaurant discounts on dinner after the flight are available, please ask for details.

You can choose your own departure times when available, so make your reservations early. FAA Certified Commercial Pilots conduct all our flights. All seats are window seats. All passengers are provided with headsets for special narration of the tour. We also provide aerial photography and aerial video services, as well as flight instruction.

Passengers enjoy the security and safety of being in a seaplane when over the water during our Seaplane Safari. All our flight and water operations are conducted with a good neighbor policy. We avoid disturbing sea critters and we steer clear of boats, kayaks and human beach activities. When we fly in the air above the whales, seals and other sea life, we are far LESS intrusive than a boat with its whining boat motor(s) because boats have direct contact with the ocean (obviously). The motor boats typically used for commercial whale watching tours are many times more annoying to the sea animals because the boat noise is much louder to their ears. Also, boat propellers have the potential of harming sea creatures physically.

We are dedicated that your adventure with us is safe and enjoyable. We offer an unforgettable experience that you will treasure forever. Please call or e-mail us to schedule your memorable flight today. You may even find your own private paradise.
