Very tiny aircraft (5 people: one upfront on a copilot seat & 4 behind, two on each row). Absolutely not for people 6-foot tall & higher. I'm in very good shape (6'2", 175 lbs), hardly got inside (they put me upfront on a copilot seat). The whole flight I was very miserable. The floor pedals & all pilot equipment do limit/decrease even more that seat/space. I had to "meditate" all flight not to have cramps in my legs (adductors & calves), it was so close to this condition/leg cramps. Over 2 hours flight (we booked Sossusvlei Scenic) & NO narration at all! You just sit & watch everything below. After 30-45 minutes it becomes boring, plus propeller noise (even with ear plugs they gave us), no explanation (except pilot's pointing 10 landmarks below), hot temperature inside with poor ventilation. All of that for $700 pp (we booked it via our Azamara ship). I wouldn't recommend it (unless you're below 6', choose much shorter flight & better plane).
P.S. For noise cancelation & better experience, I could use my earphones for music, which I've taken with me, but they didn't warn us ... before the flight we had to put all our small bags (where I had my headphones) in a different luggage compartment impossible to reach during flight.

An absolutely brilliant experience! Fulfilled a bucket list tick to fly over Skeleton Coast. Very professional, super friendly and customer focussed. They delayed our morning flight to give the fog a chance to lift which was perfect. We were a group of 4 and the pilot made sure everyone saw everything no matter where we were sitting. I cannot recommend this experience or company enough.

Professional company, but if you go on their scenic flight and are asked to sit on the left of the plane, get out and demand a refund. I am not joking, despite their reassurances, you will see sweet FA. Really disappointed!

Our group of eight was split into two, resulting in the two groups having experiences on two ends of the spectrum - one filled with sights of animals and land/seascape, one that did not see anything. My group had a pilot that had 600 hours less of experience and did not feel comfortable bringing the plane closer to any of the sights, so our whole plane ride was a waste. Half of the plane also failed to see Namib Desert Meets Sea because he didn't tilt/shift the plane, which he attributed to being pressed on time. If we had been short on time, Eagle Eye Aviation should've honestly told us that when we signed up for the trip.

It was totally a terrible experience that we couldn't see the landscape clearly due to too high altitude and the pilot made us feel unsafety since he craned his neck to look forward to another plane flying with us. It looks like he's not sure about our route and uncomfortable with the flying. The people on the left side only could see the plain ocean but not the famous desert meets the sea. The pilot explained to us that we were run out of time so that he couldn't change the angle for the left side passengers. We did show up on time and all of us pay the same money but with different experience. Besides, he pointed out his flying hours is 600hours less than the other pilot so he could not lower the altitude and change angle comfortably. The quality of each flight has too much variance. I sincerely do NOT recommend it.
