My first time flying Kenmore was a pickup from Lagoon Cove back to Seattle at the end of the summer (Sep 7). As it happened, I was the only passenger in a large plane (a de Haviland), so we skipped the stop in Nanaimo and I enjoyed a private "limousine" flight with an extremely capable pilot. They didn't make any money on this flight, but they didn't leave me stranded. What a fantastic experience it was to see rugged Vancouver Island and the Pacific coast of Canada from the air, and then fly over Puget Sound back to Lake Washington. Even though it was fairly cloudy, we flew low and the views were spectacular. Looking forward to my next flight.

What a wonderful experience! I went with a group of three including me, and there were seven others to fill this aircraft. One person can actually sit up there next to the pilot. This took us around Bellevue, over Lake Union, all the way out to see Golden Gardens beach, and circles around the same way so people sitting on the other side of the plane can see both sides. We went for their 75th anniversary sale and it was absolutely worth it. Would highly suggest to friends and family. The most surprising part of this is the landing, I thought it would be rough but it was smoother than a plane landing on the ground.

What should’ve been the coolest thing I could ever do in Seattle (born and raised, first time doing this flight)…I am noting publicly that sitting on the left side of the plane is not equal to sitting on the right. SIT ON THE RIGHT as the left side does not get the downtown view that’s advertised, and the flight does not repeat this pass for both sides to get the same view, which is…crazy. I hope Kenmore air recognizes this and adjusts to allocate the small amount of time it takes to do so.

I did a Seattle city tour flight with my friend and have to say it was one of the best experiences in my life! I've never been in a float plane so that was a check box for me. The terminal and operations are a neat set up too. Kyle, Alex, our pilot on the 530pm tour and everyone involved were very nice, helpful and excellent at their customer/guest service! Thanks for the great experience guys, keep up the wonderful work!!

We did the Seattle Scenic Flight and it was spectacular. Seeing the city from the sky was breathtaking and the whole experience was amazing. The team at Kenmore Air were all so friendly & helpful. We actually rescheduled the flight 3 times due to poor weather (I love that they wanted to make sure we had the best experience possible) but it was definitely worth the wait. Absolutely a must do for everyone.

I have to say even with inconvenience of having my return flight canceled due to weather and spending another night in Seattle, my first experience flying Victoria to Lake Union was unbelievable! Kenmore air, you have the best staff! Pilots and LKE crew. For anyone considering this, just a word of caution that seaplane flights are particularly weather dependent and keep a backup plan in your pocket.

Very good tour, highly recommend it. I paid $109 for it and picked a very nice Saturday slot at 10am. Everything went smooth and I will never see Seattle the same after this tour - much cooler city from above. Plane had 6 people including pilot and one staff member. I did not know anyone but it was fun and everyone seemed to like it.

  • Chris Matthew

Had an amazing day, weather wise… was such a good experience! Unreal views of upper Washington (I’m not just saying Seattle because you could see so far!). Me and my partner are airline staff so fly a lot bout this experience is like no other. Our pilot was amazing as was the check in staff … do this if your in Seattle! As

One of the largest seaplanes operators in the world,if not the largest. Highly recommend flying with them for some sightseeing tours above Seattle and the nearby islands. Did the 20min aerial tour above Seattle and its vicinity and the pilot narrated the whole trip. Views along the way are incredible

  • Rob Jones

Such a great experience. Was really cautious as the weather wasn’t great, but Tyler was completely honest with regards to my reservations instead of trying to give me the hard sell. Along with the very competent pilot it was still an awesome experience and great to view Seattle from above!

  • Subi Mark

Super fun experience. I've been on scenic flights before, but have never taken off from a lake on a Seaplane before, which was awesome to see the water and sail boats beneath you as you lift up. I took the short scenic flight but really wish I'd taken a longer one.

  • Jim Mansfield

Great flight into downtown seattle on a sunny day from Victoria. Great way to travel. The pilot and airport staff were very nice and helpful. You arrive in an area that is easy to grab an Uber and get anywhere central in Seattle.

  • John Mann

Flew from Seattle Lake Union to Friday Harbor, San Juan Island. Could not have been a better flight. Extremely fast, great views, friendly staff. Worth the money considering the time you save compared to the ferry.

  • Robert Niven

Flew from Victoria harbour to Lake Union today. This is absolutely the most convenient and enjoyable to travel for business. Friendly service and very helpful staff. Thank you for the flight today.

  • Vamsi Kalapala

Very friendly staff and prompt service. The co-pilot seat was empty, upon request the pilot graciously agreed and we had an amazing experience! Would highly recommend it for anyone new to Seattle

  • Janice

Great ride to Friday Harbor. The pilot was very nice and a really good pilot, even with the wind and rain. Smooth landings. And I really enjoyed the stops on the way.. Thank you!

  • Kate S

I took a scenic flight around Seattle. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Friendly staff when checking in for flight. I would recommend doing.

  • Michiel

Did the scenic tour and had the opportunity to sit at the co-pilot seat. Very nice. If I good give this 10 stars I would. Really worth every penny!

  • Sandra M
