There’s nothing quite like flying, and if you’re looking to explore the skies from up high, Durham Flight Centre offers sightseeing tours for $210 for three people (not bad once you divide up the costs).
To get a taste of what the tour offers, Durham Flight Centre took us up in a Cessna 172 aircraft, to Port Perry, Lake Scugog, and back to Oshawa. We couldn’t have asked for better weather: minimal winds, and excellent visibly. Our pilot, Spencer, even let Scott fly for a bit!
The Cessna 172 was first introduced in the 1950’s, and can travel up to about 240 km/hour. For our tour, we glided at about 2,500 feet.
Overall, Durham Flight Centre will give you the best bang for you buck when booking a sightseeing tour. I had researched a number of other options before choosing them. Other areas you can choose from when booking your tour include: Toronto waterfront/downtown, Niagara Falls, Kawartha Lakes, and Prince Edward County. Click here for more information.
