HAWAII BY SEAPLANE

Listener Ricardo emailed in with a question about exploring Oahu by the air.

Dear Jennifer and Dan, thanks so much for the fun show each week.  I have something that may be right up your alley.  Seaplane tours.  Do you have any experience with seaplane tours of Oahu?  I know there are many companies that feature helicopter tours, but my girlfriend has a fear of helicopters.  Believe it or not, she said we could do a seaplane tour.  And advice and budget ideas welcome.

Ricardo and Renee from Asheville, NC
