About
Golden Hour tours provide the smoothest, coolest air and magnificent sunrises and sunsets, casting golden hues over the water.
Sunset flights leave approximately 45 minutes before sunset, giving us time to head Southwest across Charlotte Harbor to take in the views while still being back on the ground safely before darkness falls. There is a listed time for each day, but that may need to be adjusted depending on the actual sunset time for the day.
Sunrise flights leave soon after dawn.
For both Sunrise and Sunset flights, you will be contacted for the exact arrival time.
Available only on the first and last flights of the day, these exclusive tours fill up fast, so book yours today!
