If youre seeking some a sky-high escapade while vacationing in Key West, Florida, join our professional pilot for a thrilling sight-seeing tour over the expansive living reef system in the marvelous crystalline waters of the Florida Keys. Participants appreciate the one-of-a-kind aerial vista of the magnificence of this teeming marine environment. The waters of this area are typically so transparent that passengers can view marine life in astonishing detail from the air.
This excursion starts with a narrated journey towards the Atlantic side of Key West to witness the white coastline of this island getaway, as well as Fort Taylor, the cruise ship docks, and other landmarks like Mallory Square. You will view other isles from the air, including Christmas Tree Island, Fleming Key, and Sunset Key. Remarkably, you can actually see the features of two shipwrecks through the transparent waters. These ships, once industrious seafaring vessels, now provide shelter for a thriving colony of aquatic species. You can even distinguish different animals like marine turtles, mantas, and even sharks.
This sightseeing flight on our open-cockpit aircraft will then venture to fly over a bustling coral garden where you can marvel at the marine activity at this thriving habitat. Well pass over Sand Key Lighthouse, a stalwart that has been protecting sailors and their craft since the Nineteenth Century. You will then have the opportunity to witness the back country, a wild expanse of saltwater flats and mangrove forests. This spectacular eco-excursion soars above federally-protected wilderness preserves, remote private isles, and the renowned beauty of the Marquesas Islands.
everything about this tour went smoothly. On top of the amazing sky-high views you get of Key West and the other islands, our pilot was probably the highlight! Informative and funny.
The tour leaves from the Key West International Airport so make sure you arrange transportation ahead of time (we were going to take a taxi but realized that renting a scooter for the day was almost cheaper than a round-trip cab ride).
We decided to pick the 45 minute airplane tour because we figured thats how much time we'd want to be up in the air exploring the lower keys and key west. To be honest there was so much to see that the 45 minutes flew by in no time. A+ tour guys! keep up the good work

I knew immediately that this tour was the one I wanted! Once you leave Duval Street in Downtown Key West, the lower keys have so much natural beauty to showcase and this is one of those tours that truly gives you a comprehensive tour of the whole area... Had a phenomenal time on the aeroplane tour!! :)
Old Town Key West, the mangrove islands, the Sand Key lighthouse, the coral reef!!!! You get to see so much on this 45 minute airplane ride that it's almost unbelievable! Check it out if you have the chance!
