Custom Outer Banks Airplane Tours....why not treat yourself and fly longer?

Ask about our custom-route airplane rides which give you a little longer time in the air!

• How many people can travel per trip? The front cockpit accommodates two average size passengers (approx. weight limit is 400 lbs. for two people). Extra large folks may be surprised to find plenty of room and a comfortable ride when flying alone in the front seat. It does require some dexterity to climb into the cockpit, so if you think that might be an issue, please discuss with our staff BEFORE showing up for the flight. We reserve the right to charge full trip price if the actual weights are over the stated weights and for this reason we are not able to take the flight.
• Is there an age limit or a weight limit? We've taken as young as 3 years old and as old as 89. We do ask that those under age 12 are accompanied by an adult. The biplane accomodates two passengers, and we do have weight and balance restrictions. To ensure a safe and comfortable ride, we keep the weight limit for the two passengers to a combined total of approx. 415 lbs depending upon fuel load.
• What should I wear for the flight? In general, we suggest that you wear what you normally would for the time of year, it's the same temperature up on the flight as it is on the ground. We do recommend sunglasses - scarves are optional!
• What is your cancellation policy? We're pretty flexible, but please call us as soon as possible if you need to cancel your flight. We do reserve the right to charge the full trip charge as a 'No Show' fee if you don't call to cancel your reservation.
• Where do you take us? We have great tour route choices that we offer to show you the largest number of local attractions in the area for your flight time. However, if you'd like to see a specific spot (for example your cottage or property, etc.) just let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate that in your time frame.
• Where are you located? We fly out of Dare County Regional Airport in Manteo, NC, which is located just past the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island. For directions, please click HERE.
• Can I get a last minute gift certificate? Sure.... just give us a call at 252-216-7777 or email us at [email protected] and we'd be happy to email you a custom gift certificate. They make great gifts for graduations, birthdays, anniversaries or any special occasion. An OBX Biplanes flight over the beach is one of the best things to do on the Outer Banks, and if you're lucky, they'll ask YOU to go along!
• Is it hard to get in and out of the front cockpit? Passengers climb up onto the wing and step into the front cockpit of the biplane. It does require some dexterity, so please give us a call to discuss if there are any mobility issues.

Sightseeing Tours of Los Angeles From the Air

Connor Vaughan/EyeEm/Getty Images

There are many ways to see Los Angeles , and one of the most fascinating is to fly low over famous landmarks and celebrity homes in a small plane or helicopter or for the more adventurous, an open-air light sport aircraft. Within close proximity to LA, you can also enjoy the thrill of taking a flying lesson, piloting a stunt biplane or taking the controls of a light attack aircraft in air-to-air combat or check a hot-air balloon ride off your bucket list. In most cases, if you and your party are booking the whole plane, helicopter, or balloon, you can customize what you want to see in the allotted time you're paying for - within local air regulations.

If you're looking to get some great aerial photographs, helicopter tours are your best bet, and most of the companies can help you rent gyrostabilizers to eliminate blur from helicopter vibration if you don't have your own gear.​

Many of the tour companies also offer flying lessons. A 30-minute preview lesson can be a real bargain compared to the cost of a tour.

Pacific Blue Air Adventure Flights From Hawthorne

Every tour with Pacific Blue Air is a flight lesson in an open-air light sport aircraft with just you and your flight instructor. What you can see depends on the duration of your lesson from 30 to 90 minutes. From the Hawthorne flight base south of LAX , that's the difference between sticking to beach cities or seeing the entire LA Basin.

This isn't exactly a romantic option since you would be in a separate aircraft from your partner, but it's still a heck of an exciting gift for that special occasion for the adventurer in your life.

You are not allowed to carry a camera, phone, or any loose items on your flight due to the danger of things getting caught in the rear propeller, but they have on-board cameras that shoot still photos and video of your flight that you can purchase for an additional fee.

Star Helicopters From Hawthorne

Kayte Deioma

Star Helicopters flies out of the Hawthorne Municipal Airport just 3 miles from LAX. With their limo service (or an Uber, Lyft or taxi), you can get from LAX to your helicopter flight in just a few minutes and fit in an air tour of LA on a 4-hour layover. In addition to their pre-packaged tours of the city's highlights, their services are completely customizable. As a bonus for aerial photographers, they have their own gyrostabilizer that you can rent for the day for a competitive rate. 

Helicopter Tours From Van Nuys

Van Nuys Airport in the Valley has the greatest number of helicopter tour operators. It's a relatively convenient departure location if you're in the Valley, on the West Side of LA or in Hollywood and aren't trying to get there during rush hour.

• Jetboy Helicopters has package tours from 20 to 45 minuted departing from Van Nuys. Options include the 30-minute  One-Oh-One Tour that flies from Van Nuys along the 101 Freeway over movie studios and Hollywood into Downtown LA. They have a champagne and rose Romance add-on available for any flight. 
• Air Tours LA has both helicopter and small plane tours of the Los Angeles Basin and coastline, as well as a 3-hour private Catalina airplane flight with lunch at Catalina's Airport in the Sky. 
• Elite Helicopter Tours , owned by National Helicopter Service, offers a variety of daytime and nighttime flights from 30 to 90 minutes also departing from Van Nuys Airport. You can head up the Malibu coast or inland over Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles . Charters and in-house pro aerial photography and cinematography services are also available.
• Flying High Helicopters also offers day and night flights out of Van Nuys covering the same territory. They also have a couple different romance packages and a 3rd-passenger-rides-half-price special.
• Lite Flight Helicopter Tours offers similar tours to the others with options from 10 minutes to an hour. They also offer a price match guarantee for the same duration flight on any competitor with at least a 4-star Yelp review.

Orbic Air Helicopter Tours From Burbank

Orbic Tours from Burbank Airport include regular air-only tours over movie studios, Hollywood, movie stars' homes, Downtown LA, or the coast. They also offer unique landing tour options that make a stop for a picnic on a Malibu mountaintop or on top of a Downtown LA skyscraper for a really once-in-a-lifetime-experience.

Burbank is a convenient departure location if you're near Universal Studios or in Hollywood or Downtown LA.

OC Helicopters

If you're staying in Orange County , OC Helicopters, departing from a private terminal at John Wayne Airport, can cater to your flight needs from coastal tours and romantic sunset proposals to business charters or elaborate heli-dine experiences with limos and security details as needed. You can go whale-watching from the air in season. They're also certified for heli-skydiving and heli-scuba diving. 

Non-airport landings come with a steep price tag, so if you have to ask how much, you probably can't afford the pictured picnic at a scenic landing, but you can bring your own basket on a charter flight and dine in the air. 

Helicopters Tours From Long Beach

There are several companies offering daytime and nighttime helicopter tours out of Long Beach with options from coastal exploration to a Hollywood flyover, a flight to a wine tour or a hop over to Catalina Island . Long Beach is a closer departure point than Van Nuys if you're in Downtown LA and it's also a reasonable option if you're near Disneyland.

• Anthelion Helicopter Tours  depart from Long Beach Airport
• Island Express Helicopters  depart adjacent to the Queen Mary
• Los Angeles Helicopters  depart from Long Beach Airport

Hangar 21 Helicopters in Fullerton

The Fullerton Airport is a convenient starting point if you're staying near Disneyland or Knott's Berry Farm and want an air tour of the Los Angeles area. They also have 30 to 60-minute tour options to Long Beach or Orange County Beaches. They also offer private one-hour sunset flights with champagne.

Advanced Flight Helicopter Tours From Torrance

Advanced Flight offers helicopter tours of Long Beach and the Palos Verdes Peninsula, LA Beaches, and Hollywood departing from the Torrance Airport, convenient to the South Bay Beach Cities.

Celebrity Airplane and Helicopter Tours from Carson

Celebrity Helicopter Tours offer a variety of airplane and helicopter tours from quick 15 minute rides to fancy 75-minute deluxe tours departing from the Carson Airport. You can see over those high walls protecting movie stars' homes, or see Hollywood lit up at night from above. Their service seems to have declined in recent years according to their high number of negative Yelp reviews.

SkyThrills Biplane Thrill Ride out of Fullerton

Co-pilot or just ride along in a 1935 Classic Aerobatic Biplane for mild maneuvers, or choose the Extreme Stunt Biplane for daring rolls, loops, and spins. You can also take an Air Combat flight for added adventure. More relaxing vintage plane rides are also available. 

Air Tours LA Small Plane Tours out of Van Nuys

Air Tours LA offers both helicopter and plane tours, but is better known for their private plane tours along the coast, over the city or all the way to Catalina for lunch or Santa Ynez for wine tasting.

Biplane Rides out of Compton

Biplane Fun offers rides in vintage WWII biplanes departing from the Compton Airport and flying over Long Beach, Palos Verdes, and Redondo Beach .

Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Rides Over Temecula

Chip Morton/Visit Temecula Valley

Many people have a hot air balloon ride on their bucket list. You can take a group, semi-private, or private sunrise hot air balloon ride over Temecula wine country. Flights are available for all ages 48 inches or taller. Various configurations are available from different companies.

Advantages of our Airplane Tour NYC versus A Helicopter Ride

When you take our airplane tour as opposite to a helicopter ride to see the famous sights, you find our airplane flight to be much more comfortable: 1) In a helicopter you’ll feel the ups and downs a lot more then in an airplane; 2) A helicopter is a bit more ‘jerky’ than an airplane; 3) A helicopter ride is less comfortable than a plane because of the noise and higher vibration level.

Hover over the stunning landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge on a Helicopter Tour or take a longer excursion to marvel at the stunning giant redwoods of Muir Woods on a Seaplane Tour or gorgeous vineyard in the Napa Wine Country from the sky.

All of our tours were born out of a passion for the San Francisco Bay area and the wonder of flying in a float plane or helicopter.

Seaplane Adventures was founded by a returning World War II veteran with a desire to share Seaplane instruction. When Aaron Singer took over, he took that passion for Seaplanes and brought it to the public through seaplane tours. Seaplanes have played a significant role in American and world history. Our pilots have an admiration for that history and the unique experience seaplanes have to offer. That unique seaplane experience combined with the stunning views of the Bay Area makes a perfect place for our pilots to share their passion with curious visitors. Now we have added helicopter tours to our family of flights, providing a perfect addition to our current tour and charter services . Customers who have enjoyed a seaplane tour over San Francisco in the past will love the new tour option, giving them an exciting new opportunity to fly the City by the Bay!
