As society continues to develop, there is an upgrade in the quality and experiences of travel services. Everything aims for comfort, convenience, appeal, and novelty for passengers. In recent years, seaplanes have emerged in Vietnam as a new form of tourism that offers high-end and exciting experiences for travelers.
Seaplanes promise to provide you with amazing experiences as you enjoy the magnificent and poetic scenery from above. Now, let’s explore this unique mode of transportation!
What is a seaplane?
Seaplane.
If you are hearing about this mode of transport for the first time, you may have many questions. A seaplane is a type of aircraft with fixed wings that can take off and land on water as well as on land. Seaplanes are generally divided into two types: floatplanes and flying boats.
Each seaplane accommodates 14 passengers, including 12 for travelers and 2 for pilots. With a design featuring two connected cabins, passengers can observe the pilots starting the engines, taking off, landing, and gliding over the water. Furthermore, all seaplanes are equipped with the latest aviation technology, weather radar, tracking systems, and GPS.
Notably, the crew on each flight consists of well-trained and experienced international pilots. All captains and co-pilots are trained according to the highest safety standards.
The interior of the seaplane
The space inside the seaplane is quite small, and the ceiling is relatively low, so sometimes travelers cannot stand upright and must bend down when entering the aircraft. However, the interior of the seaplane is very comfortable, equipped with life jackets, water, storage bags, safety instruction boards, etc. And an exciting aspect is that you are allowed to turn on your phone and use electronic devices throughout the flight, even during takeoff and landing. This does not affect the safety of the flight.
The interior of the seaplane is very comfortable.
If you have a small carry-on bag, you can bring it to your seat, but if it is larger, you should place it in the back because the space under the seat is not sufficient for easy access. Instead, you should keep your camera bag by your side to capture beautiful photos throughout the trip.
Flying at low altitudes of 150-2000m
Seaplanes are small aircraft that typically operate at altitudes below 2000m and above 150m. The experienced pilots will fly the aircraft at low altitudes. This allows travelers to admire famous landmarks from above.
Every pilot is a tour guide
With a special design, the aircraft allows pilots to interact directly with passengers. At each destination, participants will receive explanations about the landmarks the seaplane flies over.
