It was such an awesome experience to see the nature from above. Floatplane was on my bucket list and I am happy I ended up with Volcanic Air.

Great scenic flight with pilot Ben. Very smooth take off and landing. Window seats for all passengers. Scenery was absolutely magnificent. Ben assisted me into and out of plane as I have Parkinson’s disease. Very thoughtful and patient.
Would highly recommend this experience.
