    A landing at Vlasoff Sand Cay is not always possible. It is a public area and we can only land when it is unoccupied and when the tides permit a safe landing.

    If we can’t land, we’ll fly-on to discover the beauty of the Outer Reef. With bubbles in hand, this extended custom tour ticks all the boxes. Intricate reef details become vast panoramas as we climb to 3,000 feet, with everything captured on your free in-flight video. Your pilot will discuss this and other options before your flight lifts.
