This was a dream come true. The owners were very friendly and knowledgeable. Our 15 year old son who hopes to be a pilot one day was allowed to sit in the seat opposite the pilot. Captain Mark was so nice to him. The sights were amazing. Taking off and landing on the water was an incredible experience. We would... More

From the moment we were picked up at our hotel we knew we were in for a special treat. We enjoyed a history of the Island Seaplane Service on our drive to the marina. We met our pilot and we off. It was so much fun taking off on the water and seeing all the sights from the air We... More

My wife and I wanted to fly over Oahu while taking our first vacation to Hawaii. We thought it would be fun to take a plane vice a helicopter. This was my wife's first airplane ride, but I have been in several. The staff and pilot were great. We took off and flew right down the coast next to Waikiki... More

Greatest ride ever. Mere words cannot describe the exhillaration and beauty of taking off from a serene lagoon and seeing the island by air; Pearl Harbor the shoreline and the mountains and valleys. Thanks to Capt. Alex for a smooth flight. Worth every cent. Recommend this to everyone visiting Oahu.

Come to Hawaii and there are numerous helicopter rides, but try this... A seaplane ride. This is a neat tour. I booked my tour before leaving home and Debbie was able to get me organised with minimum fuss. She also organised the van pick-up from my Waikiki lodging. Her hubby, Capt. Pat, who has years and years of trouble free... More

The first day I was on O'ahu I took the circle island tour offered by Island Seaplane. It was fantastic and a wonderful way to get an overview of the island. I would highly recommend this tour. It certainly helped me as I toured the island to have an idea of where everything was.
