5.0Fly Bay Area(125 reviews) - 34th anniversary special aerial tour Friday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Air Tours
My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary with a Bay Area aerial tour. We took the 80 minute flight and were able to see the South Bay, East Bay, Oakland, San Francisco, and then flew back to San Carlos. Fly Bay Area was very professional and tracked the weather in San Francisco. They allowed us to delay our flight by 90 minutes until the fog burned off. Visibility was perfect and we got lots of pictures. This was the most memorable part of our anniversary and I would recommend this to anyone else planning a special occasion. We are thinking about doing a team building event with our exec team at work around an aerial flight. Our pilot was Julianna and she did a great job.See more..
5.0Sky Combat Ace(103 reviews) - Best Experience in Southern California Adrenaline & Extreme Tours • Air Tours
OMG!!! This was absolute AMAZING! If you are in Southern California and are a thrill seeker this is a must!! My son celebrated his 12th Birthday at SCA with some of his gymnastics buddies. They all can do Acrobatics in the gym and now they can also do them in the sky! They were all very excited and are still talking about the experience. They all are obsessed with the new top gun movie so you can just imagine how special this was to all of them. Everything about SCA was wonderful. The pilots, the customer service, the hangar, the planes, the scenery, the flight, learning to do the tricks and the videos. Two of the kids pulled 8gs!!! I’m soo happy I came across this on tiktok. I flew with the kids too. Thank You Sky Combat Ace!!!See more..
4.5Sky Sailing(29 reviews) - My fist sailplane ride Air Tours
I had a wonderful experience at Sky Sailing! I was on vacation in Carlsbad, and I decided to make my first sailplane trip. It couldn't have better. The folks were very nice, and I got to take a turn piloting the plane. I'm working on my PPL in SC, so flying a sailplane was a great addition to my understanding of flying. I would totally recommend that you fly with the great folks at Sky Sailing!See more..
5.0Epic Aer L.L.C.(15 reviews) - Fantastic Tour Private Tours • Photography Tours • Air Tours • Day Trips
What a great time! We’re locals and really enjoyed the experience. Fog is always a factor in some part of the Bay Area in almost any season. We made a last minute adjustment to the tour; super pleased. The pilot was knowledgeable and friendly. We felt very safe (covid and otherwise) the whole time. I highly recommend this group. It really is a special experience to feel like you have the Bay all to yourself during the flight.See more..

5.0Bay Area Glider Rides(11 reviews) - MILE HIGH JOY RIDE! Friday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Sightseeing Tours • Air Tours
Being a "mature" citizen, I felt I had to go for a glider ride...Been putting it off..so called , made a reservation for 10 am on a sunny July day. Michael my pilot showed up on time and even got to meet the boss, Travis. Nice folks! Got a nice orientation before climbing on board and put on a parachute! I was up for a few aerobatics! The tow plane took us up, I pulled the handle and we were free as a bird, soaring on the currents...Michael was the best and did a couple loops to show me a real thrill. He stuck the landing PERFECT! A s-m-o-o-t-h ride all the way. Worst thing is , I'm going to have to go again!!!! Highly recommend this establishment.See more..
5.0Williams Soaring Center(8 reviews) - A family owned airport dedicated to soaring. Air Tours
Flying gliders is about as close as you get to the definition of a niche activity. It is flying aircraft without engines. To do this requires having people around to assemble the gliders, to move the gliders, to have tow planes available to get the gliders into the air, to have people on the ground to move the gliders around and hook the rope from the towplane to the glider for a launch. Williams Soaring Center is all of that to the highest quality, the greatest attention to detail, the focus on SAFETY, and all run by the Mayes family; dad, mom, and two sons. This attracts quality so there are instructors, schedulers, and repair people who are all living examples of care and quality. Come out for your first ride in a glider. Come out to fly well maintained gliders in the central valley or coastal mountains of northern california. Come to just sit on the patio and watch people having fun flying gliders.See more..
This was easily one of the best experiences of our lives. The flight tour gave us breathtaking views and a unique viewpoint of Yosemite. We decided to do this tour as a whim and we are so thankful we did! The flight was awesome and the people were incredibly welcoming and informative. I would definitely recommend this to everyone who is looking to experience the beauty of Yosemite from a new perspective!See more..

Wow!!! This is an amazing experience and actually really inexpensive for what you get. The owner Keith is a really great guy and pilot. The aircraft is in perfect shape (I fly also so I know what to look for). If you want to do something that you will talk about for the rest of your life, then this is one of them. I am scheduling to have my mom go. The front also sits 2 people at a time so perfect for couples and family!!! Don't miss this opportunity to fly in this amazing machine!!!See more..
5.0Wings Of Valor(1 review) - Wonderful Experience... Something Different Air Tours
You can tell by the gleam that everyone there has a love for flying. Whether it be the DC-3 ride, or a lesson in flying the Stearman, you can't go wrong. I flew over the Christmas lights in Riverside and had such a blast! The pilot, Daniel Wotring is outstandingly skillful, and very friendly. All the rest of the crew and moderator was very accommodating. They answered any questions I had, and explained all the history about their beloved DC-3, which participated in 3 different invasions in World War 2! The plane is immaculately maintained and a very important part of history. I will definitely be doing this again!! Price is reasonable and the flight was 40 minutes. You will remember doing this for the rest of your life!See more..
5.0Springfield Flying Service(1 review) - Barnstormer flight Air Tours If you have any interest in flying and especially in a Stearman Biplane I highly recommend taking a ride with Chris. He has 20+ years of flying and is an expert with the Stearman Biplane. He is internationally known for his experience in flying the plane and instructing others to fly the biplane. The flight was exceptional. He spends time with you explaining the flight to make you comfortable and able to thoroughly enjoy the experience. The flight was conducted in a very safe manner while enjoying a barnstormer flight. I was totally comfortable and did not experience any hint of air sickness. Chris and his staff are an excellent choice for a memorable flight experience in Columbia, Ca. See more..
