My wife and I took the sunset flight with Miami Flightseeing and it was fabulous! Our pilot flew us down Miami Beach and pointed out some of the sights Fountainbleu Hotel, etc and then we flew over Biscayne Bay. The sunset was beautiful because there were enough clouds in the west for the rays of the setting sun to interact with don't expect to see the sun set over the ocean because the ocean is EAST of Miami!! We saw the lighthouse at the end of Key Biscayne, homes of the rich and famous on Fisher Island, the offshore Rum Shacks remaining from the prohibition era, the Marlins' field, and many other sights. Seeing Miami from the air enables you to see the extent to which it is made up of islands,
The staff were all courteous and considerate. They called about an hour before our flight to tell us it was a little windy and see if we wanted to re-schedule for another day. We opted to fly anyway and were glad we did. There was some air turbulence during the flight which caused a little bounciness during the flight but our pilot was aware of where to expect this and let us know. When it got a little bouncy he was careful to check with my wife in the back seat to be sure she wasn't alarmed. I was sitting in the front beside the pilot and he explained some of the gauges to me: altitude, air speed, etc.
People who aren't familiar with light planes should be aware that wind conditions can make it a little bouncy during parts of a flight but it isn't anything to be alarmed about.
Mauro, our pilot was superb and we barely felt it when we left the ground on takeoff. His landing was smooth and polished I've had landings with commercial airlines that were not as good!!
IN ALL, A GREAT EXPERIENCE THAT WE WOULD DO AGAIN! We gave our pilot a tip because our experience was so wonderful....pilots appreciate that!
