©2006 Island Seaplane ServiceWith an Island totally surrounded by water... nothing could be more fitting than a tour by air in a seaplane. You will have a fabulous overview of the island and its tropical scenery - even whales in season. Hawaii's only seaplane operation brings 49 years of experience in water flying in Alaska, Canada, the Artic and the Caribbean Islands. You can now experience the thrill of taking off and landing on the protected waters of Keehi Lagoon.

Take off over Hawaii in a Seaplane! On arrival at our floating office you will be welcomed and briefed on a map of the flight and the sights you will see. After you take-off from the water we will climb out alongside Honolulu Harbor and Aloha tower, then pass offshore of Waikiki Beach followed by a look down into Diamond Head Crater, the prestigious Kahala area, Koko Head Crater, Hanauma Bay, Sealife Park, Kaneohe Bay and return through Pali Pass and a circuit over the Arizona Memorial before returning to Keehi Lagoon for a water landing.
This flight will take in all of the spectacular sights of the 1/2 hour flight and continue over sparkling Kaneohe Bay and along the Windward Coast of O'ahu and show you Chinaman's Hat the movie site of "Jurassic Park" and Godzilla, "Kahana Bay, the Polynesian Cultural Center, the Mormon Temple, BYU Hawaii Campus, the old Kahuku Sugar Mill, the Windmill Farm and the Turtle Bay Hilton Hotel.
An option that many groups enjoy is our last flight of the day mixed with an assortment of Pupus and our famed Mai Tai punch. This includes the flight of the southern section of Oahu Island along with a very relaxing time sitting on the floating dock munching Pupus, listening to Hawaiian music and watching the seaplanes come and go. We sometimes even see Manta Rays, Sea Turtles and the occasional Mermaid swim by. Pupus will included a variety of sausages, cheese, egg rolls, pot stickers, along with chips, veggies and dips. This function is very popular as a pre-boarding party for cruise ship passengers.
How about combining a fantastic seaplane tour of South Oahu, a great Polynesian meal on a floating dock that looks at Honolulu and Diamond head across the sparkling waters of Keehi Lagoon. Feast on Huli-Huli chicken, pasta salad, rice, hot rolls, scrumptious dessert and Mai Tai punch served buffet style complete with Hawaiian music piped over the dock. The entire facility will be reserved for your group's private gathering. You can relax on the dock and watch the seaplanes take-off and land right in front of you. This activity is normally done in the late afternoon and will often offer great sunsets.
