Bonita Lighthouse on your way to admire the rugged nature of Northern California’s coast. Then, get your camera ready for spectacular aerial shots of the Golden Gate Bridge.

End your flight with a pass by the historic Angel Island, the Immigrant Gateway to the West, before coming in for a smooth water landing back in Sausalito’s Richardson Bay.
