The experience

The Tecnam P2012 is built for sightseeing: its panoramic windows run the length of the cabin, so there's no bad seat. You'll see the turquoise water and coral reefs that ring the islands, the cruise ships stacked in Charlotte Amalie Harbor, and the green hillsides that cover St John. The pilot flies low enough to point out landmarks, Trunk Bay sits on the route, but high enough that you take in the whole geography at once, the way you can't from the water or the ground.

The flight runs 30 minutes from takeoff to landing. Your pilot speaks English or Spanish and narrates the route, calling out what's below as you pass over it. Bottled water is on board. The aircraft is wheelchair accessible, and infants can fly if they sit on an adult's lap.

What’s included

Bottled water is provided on board.
