Thank you for an unforgettable experience. Our pilot was not only a great pilot, he was a great tour guide. The history of the plane and the owner adds to the excitement.

I did this trip with the same people about 5 years ago and had no hesitation returning with my son in law. From pick up at the hotel it all went smoothly. Everyone was friendly with a nice atmosphere. I'd recommend everyone doing the 1 hour flight if possible. There was so much to see and learn about that the time literally flew!

This was the absolute highlight of our 2 weeks in Hawaii. We cruised around the Islands, visited many of the attractions, but nothing compared with the thrill of flying over Oahu in your seaplane. Many thanks for such an informative and pleasurable experience.

The trip on the seaplane itself was fantastic but made even better with the knowledgeable commentary from the Captain. A video would be great.
