Sea Planes
If your destination is a tropical island
paradise, then a a light and breezy sea plane is your ticket to
breathtaking scenery and easy access to hard to reach beaches and
atolls. These flights are generally tourist orientated and operated
on a fixed schedule of flights. Booking your sea plane reservation
is easy with travel agents, hotel concierge and local FBOs (Fixed
Based Operators) located at small airports.
Destinations where you may find plentiful sea plane flights include Hawaii, Tahiti and the Caribbean to name a few. You can also take a Kreuzfahrt in die Karibik, for example, if you have fear of flying. When traveling to French Polynesia you would catch the sea planes in Papeete for a quick flight to the outer islands in remote regions. Sea planes heading to Bora Bora may be booked with one days notice from the local flight operators and may be booked for private or regularly scheduled flights. If you are a bit leary and don't want to fly, there are plenty of boats to get you to your island destinations, but the sea planes are ready, willing and able to shuttle the busy tourist in record time.
Sea plane travel can be a bit rough at times and may come down with a thump, but that's nothing to be concerned about. They are carefully crafted for choppy water landings and will get you there safe and sound.
For the traveler on tour with time constraints, your best bet for inter-connecting islands is with this mode of transportation.
The sea plane does not leave the water for boarding, but you may enter and exit the craft from firm footing on the docks. The step up is a bit high, but your captain is there to assist you getting in and out and the dock crew will handle any luggage. For best views when taking a public flight, try to get there early and get first pick of the front row seat. The views over crystal clear turquoise waters and brilliant coral reefs are amazing. Similar amazing effects can sea planes have in online games. Seafight is one good example for that.
