Choose from Three Options

During the Pacific sky tour, planes soar over the picturesque Half Moon Bay town and turn south to follow the Pacific coast and its towering cliffs. On the return leg, pilots turn inland to fly over Woodside's redwood forests for a total of 35 minutes of flight time. The Golden Gate sky tour whisks guests over views of Alcatraz and the Bridge during the 50 minutes of flight time. Guests can opt to take control of the plane during the U-Fly adventure, which includes seats for one pilot-in-training and one passenger as they zoom over the Pacific coast. There is a minimum of two people and a maximum of three people per flight.

Fly Bay Area

With more than 15 years of flying experience, Fly Bay Area creates tours that are designed to bring recreational flying to the general public. Participants on Fly Bay Area's tours get to see Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, Half Moon Bay, and the coastline cliffs—but instead of exploring each up-close, they view them from around 1,500 feet in the air. Experienced pilots steer four-seat, single-engine planes over the San Francisco Peninsula and Bay, across sweeping redwood forests and the Pacific coast, during sky tours at any time of day. The FAA-approved air-tour company also lets passengers helm the plane's controls on U-Fly tours. During these flights, pilots train one or two passengers in basic flight maneuvers and making airplane noises with their mouths, eschewing the extra technical and theoretical lessons required by pilot-training programs. On any flight, staff members can snap high-resolution digital photographs or high-definition videos that document moments of the customer's in-flight experience.

The Groupon Guide to: Spotted or Striped?

Some animals have stripes that allow them to camouflage seamlessly into the tall grasses, whereas others have evolved to have spots that allow them to disappear into the leafy jungle canopy. Avoid getting confused with this helpful list of striped and/or spotted animals:

Leopards: Spots
Tigers: Stripes
Zebras: Stripes
Giraffes: Spot-shaped stripes
Panthers: Just black leopards with black spots that are hard to see on their also-black fur
Okapi: Half stripes, half boring
Cheetahs: Impossible to tell—a cheetah in motion is invisible to the human eye until it is upon you
Dog Named Spot: Neither, the dog is named after a famous dog general

What rare animal has stripes that look like spots?
