A UNIQUE WAY TO SEE THE ICONIC VIEWS OF THE PNW

BOOK A SCENIC FLIGHT

SEEING THE PNW FROM THE AIR

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.

SEATTLE SCENIC

On our Seattle seaplane scenic tour, 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.

Departure Terminal: Lake Union
Flight Duration: 25 min.
Cost: $119 per person

MT. RAINIER & MOUNT ST. HELENS

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 on our Volcanoes scenic flight tour.

Departure Terminal: Boeing Field
Flight Duration: 2 hr.
Cost: $298 per person

SAN JUAN ISLANDS SCENIC

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 San Juan Islands scenic flight 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.

Departure Terminal: Kenmore / Lake Washington
Flight Duration: 1 hr. 45 min.
Cost: $279 per person

LAKE WASHINGTON SCENIC

On our Lake Washington scenic flight tour, 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!

Departure Terminal: Kenmore / Lake Washington
Flight Duration: 25 min.
Cost: $109 per person

VICTORIA SEAPLANE TERMINAL

VICTORIA SEAPLANE TERMINAL

EXPERIENCE THE QUAINT, OLD-WORLD STYLE OF THIS PICTURESQUE CITY.

Piece of history, place of beauty

Fitting that a city named for an English queen bears the architectural legacy of her nation. Victoria provides a glimpse of the Old Word as epitomized by the afternoon tea served at the Empress Hotel. Arriving by seaplane affords you a better view than aboard any boat and gets you there in less than half the time. Step off the plane, onto the dock at the Seaplane Terminal, and clear customs in the shadow of the Parliament House.

Victoria is absolutely lovely with a compact downtown where you’ll find history mixes easily with modern trends. Classic pubs serve pints at one corner with a craft brewery open nearby. Parks, museums, and even castles are all found within the city with incredible hiking opportunities available just outside of it.

Activities

A walk around downtown will show why Victoria has been described as being more English than England. If you want elegance, there’s tea at the Empress Hotel. For a more casual afternoon, there’s a thriving pub scene. History buffs can tour the castles or if you’d prefer more natural beauty, Victoria has a well-earned reputation as the City of Gardens because of its ideal growing climate.
