IT'S WRIGHT BROS DAY!
On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered flight of a heavier-than-air aircraft, the Wright Flyer. The flight lasted 12 seconds, covered 120 feet, and reached a top speed of 6.8 miles per hour. The Wright brothers made four flights that day, each longer than the previous one.

Paradise Seaplanes is very thankful to the Wright Bros and for the ability we have to fly! ✈️👨🏻‍✈️

SENSATIONAL NEW EXPERIENCE
Paul Clifton has flown everything except seaplanes...

He said: "Hi Shawn, Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for the awesome experience yesterday on my 80th Birthday.

As a pilot with over 3500 hrs on many types single and multi-engine I have never had the experience of taking off and landing on water, absolutely sensational, your enthusiasm and attention to safety is great and I think with your instruction over time I might get it as well as you.

Grandson Ben couldn’t stop talking about his back seat experience, posting photos to all his friends.

Super flight, thank you once again.

Regards - Paul "

6 OUT OF 5 STARS!
Alex said: "Would rate 6 stars out of five if I could!
Had an amazing experience at Paradise Seaplanes!

Shawn was very insightful and helpful in his explanation of the process of how the experience worked, what to expect what could happen and how to maximise the experience.

He dealt with our many questions with patience and understanding.

My mum was a bit scared initially, as she preferred larger planes, but Shawn really helped her to see it would be safe and enjoyable.

She really enjoyed the experience after that.

I can tell he really loves his job in putting the joy into flights."

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE!!
Find out what a helicopter pilot thought about having 'doors off'...

Marcello from Darwin said: Absolutely amazing! This is an experience that words or pictures can't truly capture. The team was incredibly warm and welcoming. Our pilot, Shawn, made sure that every moment felt magical. We decided to remove the aircraft doors, and wow, that was an exhilarating experience! Full-on!!! However, it's not for the faint of heart to sit in the rear seat in this case, as the wind tries to rip away anything that's not secured. Holding a phone or camera can be quite challenging! I even had to grip my sunglasses and headphones. If you prefer comfort and expect to chat with the pilot after the engine starts, I recommend keeping the doors on. Either way, it's still going to be an incredible flight!

The aircraft itself is amazing, and taking off and landing on the water feels like magic. The approach to landing is a thrilling experience in itself. I could almost hear the Indiana Jones theme playing in my head a few times. The scent of hot engine oil mixed with the sea breeze is unforgettable. My wife sat in the front seat and was absolutely thrilled with the ride, as the wind was not as intense in the front.

This type of flight is very special (and as a helicopter pilot myself, I can attest to that). We felt completely safe, knowing that Captain Shawn is very experienced with this aircraft and the overall operation. If you enjoy adventure and flying, don't miss out on this experience. It's truly unlike any other!
