San Francisco is a beautiful city to behold, and what better way to enjoy it by adoring it from sky high?! Taking an aerial tour of San Francisco has long been on my bucket list of things to do in San Francisco. Cloud 9 Living made this wish a reality.
Making amazing experiences happen is the bread and butter of Cloud 9 Living. Instead of giving material items as gifts, Cloud 9 Living sells unique experiences that can create memories that will last you a lifetime. Whichever your forte, you’ll be able to find an activity. For the relaxed romantics, there are dinner cruises and sunset catamarans. For the thrill seekers, there are pilot lessons and race car driving. And you can search all of these experiences by major cities nationwide.
For this experience, I chose to bring one of my blogger besties, Kara of The Whimsy Soul. Our day started out at Signature Aviation in Oakland International Airport. Our pilot greeted us and made sure that we had helped ourselves to the snacks and refreshments that were offered in the lobby. We then made our way to a six-passenger plane. In less than 10 minutes, we were off the runway and in flight.
Our flight started out over Oakland and Alameda, and we slowly headed over to the Golden Gate bridge. On the way to the GG bridge, we flew over Coit Tower, Transamerica building, and Alcatraz. When we finally made it to the Golden Gate bridge, I was in complete awe. The signature image of the Karl the Fog creeping over the GG bridge was happening right before my eyes. We then flew over the Marin Headlands, looped around Tiburon and headed back to the Oakland Airport.
The tour was a lot shorter than I expected, which was quite disappointing. From the time we left the runway to the when we arrived back, the overall tour was no longer than 35 minutes. Also, the pilot had promised us that passengers from either side would get the same views. Unfortunately, Kara didn’t get the same view of the GG bridge as I did. Seeing the GG bridge was something she had looked forward to seeing.
Although the tour wasn’t what I had expected, I was still very grateful for the experience that I had. Cloud 9 Living’s customer service was very prompt in completely my request and made sure to communicate with me regarding my scheduled flight. The variety of experiences that they have to offer are very unique. And keep in mind that Christmas is right around the corner! Cloud 9 Living experiences make amazing gifts.
