Seaplane

Loch Lomond Seaplanes operate a seaplane service from a new purpose-built terminal at the Glasgow Science Centre on the River Clyde to Oban Bay – a journey time of approximately 24 minutes, flying over areas of outstanding natural beauty. Once in Oban, there’s time for a bite to eat and a spot of sightseeing before the return journey. Or, if you prefer, extend your stay and return at a later date.

The service operates from February to November, weather permitting, with plans to fly to other Scottish destinations such as Mull and Skye in the near future. In the meantime, charter enquiries are also welcome opening up the possibility of experiencing the best of both Glasgow and Scotland in one fantastic trip.
