Miami Seaplane Tours had its genesis in 1995 as Fun Flight Miami, with a very humble beginning that consisted of a very passionate seaplane pilot, one Ultralight, and the desire to fly over the South Florida waters. Settling on an easily accessible area at Key Biscayne, the business was born and, after a few years, became Ultralight Adventures, with the mission of training a growing number of Ultralight enthusiasts as pilots.
In 2000, an increased customer demand led us to offer aerial tours of the Miami skylines, sunsets, South Beach, the pristine waters of Biscayne Bay, and other popular landmarks.

Miami Seaplane Tours is a fantastic company to fly with. The whole experience was pleasant from when take a boat to the take off area to the smooth landing. My wife and I had an amazing time and I suggest it for any couple. The pilot was knowledgeable and had a wonderful energy throughout the whole journey.

Amazing experience! boated out to the plane by a very cool gentleman and flown around by another very cool gentleman! the captain was a local of 40 years and had such good vibes. even got to jump in the water and swim around with my boyfriend while waiting on the boat to pick us up after the flight (the captain had thought to bring towels aboard, just in case). 10/10 would recommend!

What a beautiful experience to share with my wife on our anniversary, fly to have lunch in the keys. I definitely recommend this to anyone, it was amazing. @miamiseaplane thank you for helping make this surprise come out perfect. We were sitting in the middle of the bay on a boat and she had no idea why we sitting on a boat doing nothing. Special thank you to Tony boat captain and Adrian pilot

I LOVED Miami Seaplanes! They took us down from miami all the way to key west, with a bit of snorkeling thrown in. They were super professional, sweet, fun, and it was gorgeous! It's the only reasonable way to get down to the keys; I wouldn't travel any other way! From the sky you could see sharks, dolphins, rays and more, and it was an experience I'll never forget!

Our flight was booked at 11 am my idiot friend was a drunk hangover mess so we didnt make it until 11:30. The company understood and was willing to let us switch our times. Make sure to call for proper address to get to ride since its not the same one thats on the original booking ticket. You have to meet at a hotel condo bldg to meet the boat that will take you to a specific place on the ocean to catch the seaplane. For $150 the cheapest option i felt like it was the best for 30-40 min flight. The pilot was knowledgable and safe.

I booked a skyline tour as gift for fathers day. We scheduled it for the next Sunday. During one week I received 2 or 3 emails as reminder. That's nice and professional. As soon as we arrived we received a warm welcoming. We asked if it was possible to pass by our condominium on top of that the pilote asked a special right to pass closer. It was a great experience from the beginning to the end. I will recommend this company to anybody. Thank you for this trip

My boyfriend surprised me with a wonderful airplane tour of Miami and the beaches. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLY. WONDERFUL. The pilots are father and son and they are so kind and accommodating. Our pilot, Tony, was the best He pointed out sights and the history of the area. Seeing The Atlantic and the beaches, Biscayne Bay, the skyscrapers and the big homes in Coral Gables from the air was so much fun. We even saw sharks and manatees swimming close to the beach shore. I will cherish this experience for a long time. These are truly professionals. Thank you so much.

I can't say enough amazing things about this operation. It is a father son labor of love; love of aviation, of showing their guests what south Florida has to offer. For VERY reasonable expense they will take you way off the beaten path and to places few locals will ever experience. Our first landing was at a wreck in the Atlantic. We snorkeled off the pontoon of the the airplane, saw a shark, innumerable colorful fish and a beautiful wreck/ reef.
Then it was off to lunch in the keys; another idyllic landing and destination this time key largo; whole fried yellowtail at sundowners was amazing. Reminiscent of great meals in the Bahamas. Then we flew back to miami. This is an absolutely amazing company; amazing customer service; amazing experience; we will be back. We wish them all the success and luck and prosperity. We will definitely be back.

My fiance hired Miami Seaplane Tours for our engagement weekend (November 22, 2013). He booked them to fly us to and from Little Palm Island near Key West- all while keeping it a surprise for me. They were incredibly discreet, even flying into the island in such a way that I wouldn't see it until the moment we docked. (they knew we were getting engaged that weekend - and even asked once they picked us up) When we returned to Miami, the weather was really windy and rainy.
The pilot masterfully docked the seaplane, and then carried me out so I wouldn't have to get into the waist deep choppy water to get back to land. Superb service - great view from up there - and such a fun experience. Can't wait to do it again!

I am from Miami and attended the University of Miami for college. I thought it would be impossible to experience something new in this beautiful city. been there.done that. My boyfriend never stops impressing me. For my birthday, he surprised me with a trip to Miami, and among his many fun activities for us, he planned a seaplane ride. I expected the seaplane to be a blast for the two of us, since we both enjoy aviation and had never flown in one. However, our Miami Seaplane ride went "above and beyond" expectations and was an experience we will always remember.
The tour is great for visitors and locals alike. Our pilot (Adriel) gave us a tour with just enough information and jokes. Seeing Miami from the air gives you a whole new perspective and appreciation for the beauty of the city. We spotted manatees, huge schools of fish, and sharks hunting the schools of fish. We saw the start of the Florida Keys and Stiltsville.
Perfect for romance or a fun afternoon with friends. I would be interested in taking one of their longer tours around the Everglades. Hands down this is one of my favorite experiences in the Magic City! Miami is spread out, and it's hard to really appreciate the city as a whole from any other vantage point than the air. Plus, nothing is quite as glamorous as landing on water.

Miami - I've been a resident all my life and had forgotten what the hell I was doing here. Between the nasty traffic, real estate crash, overpriced drinks, and banana republic status, my favorite city had lost a lot of luster over the years. Having gone on this tour reminded me that we truly live in one of the most spectacular cities on the planet.
Being able to see Miami in all her splendor from above really is a sight to behold. From all of the new additions to the downtown/brickell skyline to South Beach to the pristine untouched nature by lightouse point, it really gave me a new appreciation for this town. Our pilot Adriel was a bad-ass and he provided some awesome narrative to go along with the sights.
We all really need to get out and see the sights more instead of just getting caught up spending the weekend doing errands. We went on a SeaPlane tour one Saturday thanks to a Goupon promotion for 50% off. I can honestly say it was one of the best things I have ever done in Miami.
