Fly the Northeastern coast in its full Autumn glory

If you’ve ever seen the Northeast ablaze in autumn, you probably remember it. But if you see it from the air, you’ll never forget. On this ten-day aviation adventure you’ll see more shades of red and gold than you ever imagined. You’ll also see—and taste—the best of Boston, of Maine, of Canada’s Maritime Provinces, and more.

What’s so special about this tour?

Get a bird’s eye view of coastal Maine, a paradise of pristine forests and 4,600 rock-rimmed islands
See Maine’s Frenchman Bay and haul up a few traps from the deck of Lulu, a real downeast lobster boat. Then feast on fresh lobster in Bar Harbor
Learn the ropes of flying internationally, and enjoy the full time services of a tour coordinator and experienced pilot guide
Taste award-winning wines (including blueberry and maple) on Prince Edward Island, where the vineyards stretch right down to the Northumberland Strait
Fly down the Hudson Corridor past New York City and the Statue of Liberty—and over the spot where Chesley Sullenberger landed his Airbus 320 in the river
Watch seals (and maybe a porpoise or two) frolic off the coasts of Maine and Prince Edward Island
Eat what (and where) the locals eat—including Maine lobsters, PEI oysters, Tuscan classics made with fresh Vermont ingredients, seasonal microbrews, and some of the best cuisine in Boston
Relax and refresh in gracious country inns and luxurious hotels
Land on the beachside runway and have flopping-fresh fish for lunch in Montauk, New York
