My Father and I flew for his birthday and I cannot express enough what an incredible experience this was! Jason & Krystall are professional, explain everything well, and do such a great job making the whole experience memorable! Yosemite from the air is breathtaking and worth seeing in every season. My dad hasn't stopped talking about it to all our friends! Such a unique gift to yourself or someone else. Couldn't recommend more!

We've seen Yosemite from the ground dozens of times, but nothing can match the aerial view! We soared over Hetch Hetchy, Cherry Lake, the Emigrant Wilderness, the Tuolumne River, and of course the vastness of Yosemite and its granite formations. Amazing! Rex provided helpful narration throughout our flight to keep us in the know about what we were seeing. The flight was super smooth and comfortable. I'd highly recommend this for people of all ages, and now I think I'll have to see every national park from the seat of a Cessna.

This was THE COOLEST way to see Yosemite and the surrounding area. Even though I've been coming to Yosemite for nearly 50 years, it gave me a completely new appreciation for the beauty and grandeur of this magnificent part of the world. Jason is an incredibly experienced and capable pilot and Rex did an awesome job of pointing out different landmarks and explaining what we were seeing (Emigrant Wilderness is AMAZING and I didn't even really know it was there before this flight). They were super relaxed and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable throughout. We went up with two adults and six children and they all had an absolute blast. It was completely safe. I think that Yosemite Flights is relatively new and I feel lucky to have gotten this experience now because something tells me that they're going to be VERY popular. What a wonderful experience and a wonderful group of people. I'd give it six stars if I could!

I have been wanting to do this flight over Yosemite for a few years now. My wife and I lived in Pine Mountain Lake (Groveland) for a few years during Covid, and I discovered Yosemite Flights on instagram (I think). I immediately was drawn to it because you can fly over Yosemite Valley and get a vantage point that would otherwise be impossible. We ended up going on Saturday morning for my wife's 35th birthday. Krystal and Jason were awesome and friendly. Krystal met us in the parking lot and walked us into the office, where we then met Jason. We chit-chatted for a few minutes then went up in the air. Both were very professional, and you could tell there was a lot of love and care in the business and the area. The flight itself was unbelievable. Jason is an excellent pilot. The takeoff, flight and landing were all very smooth. We flew over to Cherry Lake, then over to Half Dome. Jason circled Half Dome for us a couple times, then flew over Yosemite Valley back to Pine Mountain Lake. The trip was just about an hour in total. It was a truly incredible experience. It had just snowed a few days prior as well. So all the mountains were dusted with snow. Jason & Krystal were pros and very hospitable, and the trip was just simply amazing. This is definitely something I will do again, and try to recruit more people to join in on. Can't recommend this enough!

Great experience. We were running behind during our Yosemite trip and decided to give them a shot. They were super accommodating, understanding of our situation and friendly. The flight itself was very smooth, the sights were beautiful, Kystall was very knowledgeable, and it was clear safety was a priority for them. Would definitely recommend trying them out.

Absolutely AMAZING! What a fantastic way to view Yosemite! Not only did our family feel completely safe and comfortable, the staff was full of knowledge of the area. We learned of hiking destinations otherwise unknown. We were able to see our hotel (Rush Creek) and so many other great landmarks. We all loved this and highly recommend!

Suuuuuuuuper cool way to see the Yosemite area, and worth every penny! We had such a great time with Jason who asked us where we wanted to go instead of just doing some pre-fixed route. We've lived in the area for about a year and got to see more of it in one hour than we have in a year. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for something dynamic and interesting to do in the area.

The entire team at Yosemite Flights are professional it's clear safety is a priority. Our tour was fantastic and the sights were spatular ! We had great viewing of Tuolumne Canyon, Cherry Lake and into Yosemite National Park. Half Dome from the air is unforgettable as is the sky view of El Capitan and the parks numerous water falls. I highly recommend this experience to see just how beautiful this area is from the air.
