Aerial tours are a one-of-a-kind experience you and your friends will never forget! We currently offer four different tours. Our airplane is a 1957 Piper Pacer fabric-covered tailwheel airplane. It has four seats (including the pilot), and not much room for baggage. There's also not a whole lot of leg room in the back two seats.
Prices are for the pilot and the airplane, so additional passengers don't add any cost! All passengers and the pilot will be able to communicate through headsets on the aircraft intercom system. If you ask nicely . . . the pilot MAY let the front-seat passenger fly, for a bit . . . .
Add up your weights! Total weight of all passengers, clothes, baggage and equipment you bring can't exceed 400 lbs. (essentially two normal-sized adults, or one adult and two kids).

Tour A: Sawtooth Wilderness Ultimate Tour: $899.99
See the Sawtooth Mountains from a perspective most people will never experience. We will do some river canyon flying, some "proximity flying" next to snow-covered mountain ridges, and some low flight over mountain lakes. We'll cover a total of over 250 nautical miles in our circuit out to Stanley Airport and back. We will start by following Boise River's Middle Fork all the way to its origins in the Sawtooths, then we'll turn north and land for lunch at Stanley. After checking out the fine dining at the High Country Inn (a 1/4 mile walk from the airport), we'll head northwest towards Cascade, and return south along the Payette River. Weight limit may be less than 400 lbs. if weather is abnormally hot. Total flight time: 1.5 hours to Stanley, 2.0 hour lunch break at Stanley, 1.5 hour return flight.

Tour B: Snake River: $539.99
Experience the thrill of flying just above the water. The relative flatness of the terrain on this tour allows us to get low and slow over the river. We'll head downstream (north) on the Snake River up to Weiser, then return, taking a shortcut to follow the Boise River for about 20 miles on the way back. Total flight time: 2.0 hours.

From Caldwell Airport, it's a short 15-minute flight to downtown Boise. We'll do some slow circles 1,000 feet above downtown, From there, another 5 minutes will take us to Lucky Peak Reservoir.

If you are more than 15 minutes late, your tour may be cancelled without refund. Weather and aircraft issues are always a consideration. The final decision on whether to take the flight will reside with the pilot, and he may also terminate the tour early in the interest of safety. In these cases, your money will be refunded and you will be given the option to reschedule at your convenience. We'll make every effort to communicate with you about potential issues ahead of time, but sometimes the unexpected comes up. Your safety is always our first consideration.
