Seawings, the aerial sightseeing sensation that provides a magical journey along Dubai's dramatic and ever changing coastal skyline in a "Cessna 208 Caravan Amphibian" seaplane has completed 1 year of operations in Dubai.

Seawings commenced operations on 11th August 2007. Based at Jebel Ali Golf Resort and Spa, Seawings began operating with just one aircraft and a handful of staff. Today the company has grown to include 3 aircraft and a staff base of over 70 members. Over the past year Seawings has created various tour options, each aimed at a particular target audience and each tailored to meet certain requirements. In the span of a year Seawings has successfully proved itself a truly unique sightseeing service, attracting thousands of tourists and residents, providing an opportunity to view Dubai from a different vantage point. Today Seawings is undoubtedly "the No.1 thing to do in Dubai" as quoted by the New York Times.

The Cessna 208 Caravan Amphibian Seaplane provides:

1) Great views from each seat

2) Exhilarating water take off and landing

3) Luxury cabin with leather seating

4) Air Conditioned Comfort

Overwhelmed by Seawings' success, Stuart Wheeler, CEO said, "A couple of years back we realized that Dubai needs a unique way to be looked at and we knew that Seawings would fill that void. The combination of dedication, talent and hard work from the Seawings team has proven that dreams can be turned into reality. On the 1st Anniversary of Seawings I take this opportunity to thank the team as well as our trade partners without whom this celebration would not have been possible. This is an amazing occasion for all of us. This is just one of the many milestones that we are yet to achieve".

Seawings is an aerial sightseeing sensation providing a once in a lifetime journey along Dubai's dramatic and ever changing coastal skyline. Traveling at 1,500 feet you are provided with a bird's eye view of Dubai's iconic landmarks and the thrill of a new experience.

We offer up to eight flights daily, leaving every hour as well as a choice of various tour options, catering to the needs of the individual, groups, corporate incentives, tourists and residents alike.
