I have been obsessed with seaplanes ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Being from Ontario I have had a lot of chances to fly in seaplanes and have enjoyed them all and recently I took a trip to Northern Ontario to visit Georgian Bay Airways and thought it would be just like all of the others, boy was I wrong.<\/p>\n<p>I had been hearing about all sorts of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.summerfunguide.ca\/9\/northern-ontario.html\">things to do in Northern Ontario<\/a> but what had stuck out in my mind had been the seaplane trips that Georgian Bay Airways offered from Parry Sound Harbour to the World Famous Henry\u2019s Fish Restaurant on Frying Pan Island in Sans Souci.\u00a0 Henry\u2019s Fish Restaurant is only accessible by plane or boat so it makes going there that much better.<\/p>\n<p>The flights to and from Henry\u2019s are called \u201cFly &amp; Dine\u201d flights and I was excited to do both.\u00a0 We left from Georgian Bay Airways\u2019 home base in Parry Sound Harbour, flew directly to Henry\u2019s and got there during the lunch rush.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t your usual lunch rush either.\u00a0 As we approached I saw at least 5 other seaplanes taking off or landing near the world famous restaurant.\u00a0 There were also other small boats and a few larger yachts docked in the calm waters surrounding the island.<\/p>\n<p>We were lucky enough to get a seat overlooking the seaplanes landing and taking off in the Georgian Bay.\u00a0 We were also lucky enough to eat some of the tastiest and freshest fish and chips I have ever had. Henry\u2019s Fish Restaurant is famous for its pickerel and trust me it is well deserved.<\/p>\n<p>We left full and happy and it was a little difficult getting back into the plane.\u00a0 The flight back was as beautiful as the flight there.\u00a0 We passed over some of the most breath taking scenery in Northern Ontario and if we had more time we probably would have taken the pilot up on his offer to take us on a site seeing tour around the Bay.\u00a0 Make sure to bring your camera whether you are just going to Henry\u2019s or taking a longer flight.<\/p>\n<p>Like I said before I had been on a good amount of seaplanes and this trip had be the most memorable.\u00a0 The scenery and experience put it above all of the other flights I had taken.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.summerfunguide.ca\/\">things to do in Ontario<\/a> to celebrate a special occasion like an anniversary or birthday or just want to have a great lunch or dinner make sure to check out Georgian Airways\u2019 \u201cFly &amp; Dine\u201d flights.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was younger I used to think that seaplanes were just myths.\u00a0 My sister would tell me that there was a plane that could land and take off from the water but I just assumed she was lying to me, like when she told me she had ridden a unicorn.\u00a0 I asked my parents&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-northern-ontario-region"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.summerfunguide.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.summerfunguide.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.summerfunguide.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.summerfunguide.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.summerfunguide.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.summerfunguide.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3506,"href":"https:\/\/www.summerfunguide.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169\/revisions\/3506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.summerfunguide.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.summerfunguide.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.summerfunguide.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
