On behalf of a friend (sadly no escape from the northern winter for me) who's off to the Bahamas soon for a holiday. He'd like to go for a trip in a seaplane whilst there, maybe a day trip round the island or something like that.

Can anyone suggest a reputable company he could go to, and what sort of price would he be looking at?

Thank you.

Chalk's Ocean Airways used to be a cool way to get to the Bahamas-- for the reason of it's Grumman Turbo Mallard flying boats, and the fact that it was probably the World's oldest continually operating airline.

Sadly, the flying boat service has been suspended, at least for now. Read more about it here:

PJ - Yep, I'm aware if Chalk's, thank you for that, but he wants to fly once he's actually on the island, not fly to get there.
