About this experience
Enjoy a breathtaking flight from Seattle's Lake Washington to San Juan Island aboard one of our classic 6-passenger Dehavilland Beaver seaplanes. Experience views of the Puget Sound, the Seattle Skyline and finally the beautiful San Juan Islands before the splash-down landing in Friday Harbor, Roche Harbor, or both! Our scenic flights are generally flown at 500 to 2000 feet above the ground with at least two seaplane water landings.
You're riding along on a commuter flight that will be dropping off and picking up passengers on San Juan Island. The flight time is at least two hours, including taxi time. The pilot will give you a narrated tour on your way to San Juan Island, showing you all the highlights.
Our tours give you an hour or less at either Friday Harbor or Roche Harbor to walk around and get a quick taste of the Island. This allows enough time to stretch and walk around the marina and use restrooms as needed. The actual time on the island varies by the day.
