This is a within city ride to enjoy the aerial view and have some snacks along this short drive.

A great boost to tours and travel industry of Mumbai, But for initial few months local citizens will sure rush and advance book this adventurous air ride which is really cheap because according to the seaplane company they may merely charging Rs.750 (Approximate United Stated $13) for a air journey starting from Juhu Airport till Nariman Point. That’s a wonderful news for citizens as any cool cab will take equal charges and may take anywhere above 1 hour to reach nariman point by road, where as its will just take 5 to 7 minutes for a seaplane ride.

As detailed above, Maritime has already planned public service at cheapest rate possible for such a great time saving travel option and of course a great adventure joy ride too for those ready to spend Rs.750 per person to enjoy the aircraft ‘Cessna 208A’. This great air ride travel option gives a group / family of 9 people a fun ride together at mere cost of Rs.6000/- which is just WOW. With a great aerial view right from Juhu airport till Nariman Point, One can see breathtaking view of Bandra Worli Sea Link from Top, South Mumbai Skylines and that huge Shiny Arabian sea blue water, and is till date the best and cheapest option.

With such things planned in Mumbai, what i feel such services may soon get started for other locations and water landing locations of far north suburban locations like Virar, as it is well connected to the same coastal with wide beaches. For example, Seaplanes can easily travel from Juhu airport to Borivali Gorai or may be a service directly till Esselworld and Water Kingdom theme park, Or till Arnala beach in Virar which have many other tourist attractions in Virar. How about seaplane to Daman beaches. Hope and best of luck to this seaplane service of Mumbai and cheers to citizen for enjoying this cool plane rides.
