You’ll see snow-capped mountains and unforgettable views and less than an hour after leaving the Seattle area, you’ll be gliding atop the water again and up to the dock of the waterfront lodge you’ve picked out for your getaway.
Kenmore Air can accommodate a wide range of charter flights including private beaches, waterfront lodges via seaplane and destinations by land plane from Boeing Field and Paine Field.

With scenic flight options for Lake Union, Lake Washington, the San Juan Islands and Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens, Kenmore Air provides a scenic experience like no other! These uniquely Northwest views as well as up close and personal vantage points unavailable from the ground provide you experiences you will remember forever.
You’ll take off from our terminal in South Lake Union, one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in the city with tech companies like Amazon and Google providing the horsepower for that growth. The lake sits at the heart of Seattle, serving as a reference point for four distinct neighborhoods. Seattle Center is located just to the southwest while Gas Works Park sits on the north shore at the site of the old Seattle Gas Light Company.
The Space Needle is a landmark that was constructed for the 1962 World’s Fair, which was held in Seattle. At 605 feet from ground to tip, it was the country’s tallest structure west of the Mississippi when completed. The observation deck is located 520 feet off the ground, and offers a panorama view of the city skyline, the Olympic mountains to the west, the Cascades to the East as well as Elliott Bay and the Puget Sound. It takes the elevator 41 seconds to go from the base of the needle to the top.
Standing at a staggering 14,410 feet, Mount Rainier is the Pacific Northwest’s reigning giant. It dwarfs its fellow Cascade Range peaks by more than 10,000 feet. Home to more than 36-square-miles of glaciers, Mount Rainier hasn’t had a major eruption in nearly 1,000 years. But don’t let the tranquil hillsides fool you. Scientists affirm this giant is still very much alive.
Mount St. Helens is smaller in stature. It tops out at 8,363 feet. But what it lacks in height, it has more than made up for inactivity. May 18, 1980 – its massive eruption became the biggest in modern history. Its plume rose 15 miles high and the mudflow created from its collapsed dome stretched to the Columbia River. Today, the ecosystem on the hauntingly beautiful slopes thrives as old-growth forests once again take root and wildflowers bloom.
Witnessing these two volcanoes is a quintessential Pacific Northwest moment. And, there’s no better view than from a Cessna Caravan.
An archipelago is the fancy way to refer to a group of islands, and the San Juans are composed of 172 different named islands and reefs that sit between Anacortes, Wash., and Vancouver Island, which is part of British Columbia. All told, there are 408 miles of shoreline on the islands, the most of any single in the United States. Our scenic tour will provide an incredible perspective, allowing you to see exactly why Orcas Island is known for hiking (it’s the hilliest) while Lopez is best for biking (it’s the flattest). You’ll find four lighthouses located on the San Juan Islands, but not a single stoplight.
Four of the islands in the archipelago are accessible by ferry, but our scenic tour will give you a glimpse of the entire region, which sits at the intersection of three different waterways. The Strait of Georgia is to the North, the Strait of Juan de Fuca is located to the West with the Puget Sound located to the south. The collective region is known as the Salish Sea. The islands were first charted in 1791 by a Spanish explorer, however, the fossil evidence shows that hunting was occurring on the islands more than 6,000 years ago. The islands are also home to three different orca pods who live in the Salish Sea region with more than 80 in the local population.
You’ll start at Kenmore Air Harbor on the northern tip of what is the second-largest lake in the state. This is where Kenmore Air started in 1946 with three friends from high school working on a single floatplane in a garage on the site of an old shingle mill. From there you’ll head South to Seattle, taking in the iconic sites of the Space Needle, the floating houses along Lake Union, and Husky Stadium.
To your West, you’ll fly over Fisherman’s Terminal in Ballard, and over the famous locks, connecting Lake Washington and Lake Union to the Puget Sound. On a clear day, enjoy fantastic views of Mt Rainier to the South and Mt Baker to the North. The best way to experience the Pacific Northwest is from a Kenmore Air floatplane. Book your adventure today!

Sucia Island • Lake Isabel • Cutts Island • Matia Island
Fly into a remote beach, hop off the plane and enjoy a few hours of remote serenity. Bring a picnic or some refreshments or just enjoy nature as served.
The northernmost of the San Juan Islands, this horseshoe-shaped island is accessible only by boat and is considered the crown jewel of the state’s marine parks.
There are no services on the island, which is known for its beautiful green water and forested hiking trails.
This lake is located in the Central Cascades just north of Gold Bar, and while it isn’t technically a secret, there’s no hiking trail leading there so it’s tough to access. Well, unless you arrive on a floatplane.
Finding your way to a place you can’t hike to let alone drive is a special way to spend an afternoon.
You’ll find a perfect day at the beach on this tiny little island west of Gig Harbor in the Carr Inlet. The island itself is just 2 acres with a sandy beach accessible at low tide and a clay butte that is topped with trees.
Located just a half-mile northwest of Kopachuk State Park this is a perfect spot for an afternoon on the beach.
The majority of this island is closed to the public to provide undisturbed habitat for wildlife. Hiking is restricted to the 1.2-mile trail, which provides a glimpse of old-growth island forest habitat that is found in only a very few places in the region.
The pristine state of Matia Island gives you a chance to see the San Juans in their natural state.
Alderbrook Resort • Captain Whidbey • Roche Harbor • Eastsound

When you board one of our floatplanes, your weekend escape starts the moment you leave the dock.
Nestled in an old growth forest that is beautifully rugged, Captain Whidbey is a wonderful mix of both old and new. The lodge dates back to 1907, and the inn offers idiosyncratic cabins or the Lagoon Rooms with their 20th Century modern design.
Step off your seaplane, onto the dock and walk into a different world that feels slower and more honest.
