Calling all adrenaline junkies! Climb aboard a flying motorcycle and get ready to experience jaw-dropping views as you surf the sky. Manned by an FAA certified flight instructor, you'll learn the basics of what they call trike flying. There are steering wheels and controls in both seats, so once you get the hang of it, you can drive. Since these funky aircrafts have hang glider style wings, it designed to land without any power.
Most opt for the one-hour flight session, which will take you over the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Clearwater Marina, Pier 60, Shell Key, John's Pass, Fort DeSoto, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and out over the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico. Keep your eyes wide open as it's possible to spot dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, stingrays and even sharks.
For those looking for a more extensive experience, book the 2.5 hour flight or come up with your own custom half day extreme adventure. This is your chance to help plan the flight – whether you'd like to head south to Naples, out over the Everglades or north to Cedar Key. Prices vary based on the length of your trip. Flights leave from the Clearwater Airpark.
