Sightseeing Tour Information

Our sightseeing tours are $235 for up to three people and last 45 minutes from engine start to stop. An average tour will take you over to Blue Point, then west along the shoreline of Lake Huron, over the bridges, down the river to Stag Island, then back to the airport. There is no set route, so passengers are encouraged to ask about what they would like to see. We do our best to make it happen.
