FLYING WITH US? THINGS TO KNOW

We are Located at General Aviation side of Key West International Airport.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to major airport construction projects you will need to park in the airport short-term lot (Daily rate is $19.00). We recommend you arrive here by taxi, Uber, or Lyft. Request your driver to go to Signature Flight Support.

Driving Directions: Turn into the main entrance of Key West Int'l Airport. At the first stop sign stay on the ground level towards arrivals. Drive under two walkways.

If parking a car, follow the signs to Short Term Parking. From the parking lot (facing the control tower and with your back to the ocean) we are located in the far left hangar.

If dropping off, as you drive under the second walkway get in the right lane and drive straight on past the control tower. After passing the control tower our hangar office is directly ahead.

Check in is required at least 30 minutes prior to flight time. Late arrivals are subject to cancellation without refund.

Cancellation Policy:
If you must change or cancel your reservation for any reason, you must do so 24 hours prior to flight (Groups of 10 or more require 48 hours). After this time, your reservation is non-refundable. Please respect that we have a very small capacity, no shows greatly impact our business. If pilot cancels on the day due to bad weather, you may reschedule or receive a full refund.

The unique nature of our tours may create situations where we have to cancel due to aircraft maintenance or inclement weather. We operate in a remote environment, 70 miles offshore, and will always err on the side of caution. When these situations happen, we will reschedule you if possible or provide an immediate full refund. Key West Seaplane Adventures is NOT responsible for any other travel costs you may incur.

Our number one priority is to provide you with a safe tour, and we have completed over 20,000 flights Into Dry Tortugas National Park with a 100% safety record. We plan to keep it that way!
