Listen to stories of the famous Bay Islands as you take flight off the helipad at the seabase. Your pilot will navigate orbital views while island-hopping over historic Alcatraz and Angel Island.

Learn about the Escape from Alcatraz, and see the buildings on this rocky outcropping from above.

A flight pass offshore San Francisco before a smooth landing at Commodore Heliport in Marin completes the most unique way to see these iconic landmarks!
