An awesome way to see the Rangeley Lakes area - John was an excellent guide as well as being a calm and steady pilot. It was wonderful to see so much of this lovely part of Maine, most of which can’t be seen from the road. The ride itself was amazing - I’ve experienced harder take-offs and landings in commercial aircraft. I highly recommend this!

Worth It - We splurged on the 1 hour tour, and even then it seemed way too short. But it was a lot of fun and worthwhile. Our pilot did a mid-flight landing at a pretty deserted beach on an island for a few minutes, and took our pictures of the plane (used in our Christmas card!) Our pilot was super friendly.

Beautiful Foliage From Above - Super flight! Gorgeous colors and our pilot did an excellent job pointing out highlights and providing a history of the area. Highly recommend.

Worth it! - It was great to see the view of the lakes in this region, it is incredible how many are uninhabited. The pilot was quick to give directions, and then we were off! I will say this is the fastest 30 minutes of your life, but well worth the experience. Pilot took photos of the crew mid flight, and once we landed. This was a nice souvenir to have.

So much fun and informative! - Carl was awesome! I’ve been coming here for 58 years and always wanted to fly over the region, especially my house on the west shore. It was so easy to book the flight and so much fun. If you’re in the area, do it!!

Great experience and well worth doing - Pilot was a really nice guy and very accommodating. He was very friendly and also knowledgeable of the area.

Acadian Seaplanes are above all the others! - What a great experience! Our pilot, Carl was awesome! He was knowledgeable of the are and had a great sense of humor. As someone that grew up in the area, it was so cool to see it all from above. I felt safe and taken care of the entire time and it was well worth the price!

Great tour - Captain Carl was wonderful. I am handicapped and he helped me get into and out of the plane. He was knowledgable about the area and was able to answer any questions I asked. I would highly recommend this tour.

Awesome experience — I do recommend!! - This was a great experience! I am very claustrophobic and there was a good minute when we first got in when I wanted to ask to get off… but the pilot was so calm and kind and told me I’d be feeling lots of air once we got going. And I had my kids to stay calm for. They loved it — once in a lifetime experience (well, actually I think I’ll come back and do the dining experience next time, so maybe twice in a lifetime?) and the views were amazing. So cool to land and see the boats nearby — and then be on the beach later and watch the seaplanes taking off and landing right next to you - like “whoa, we just did that!!” The personality of the pilot, Captain Carl, made the experience fun — felt great to get out of my comfort zone. I highly recommend! It may seem expensive for a 30-minute experience but it is really like nothing you’ve experienced before, and the pilots need a lot of training and put a lot of work into making things fun.

Terrible Middleman - Our trip was canceled the day prior to our confirmed scheduled day. We made a date change thru Viator. It was confirmed by Viator with an up charge. The seaplane Vendor apparently never received the change information from Viator. We did receive a refund, but did not get the seaplane excursion. I will not be using Viator again and will not be recommending them to anyone else.
