About Us
With us you will be able to discover the beauty of Colombia as never before.
After years of absence, we invite you to rediscover Colombia's hidden paradises from above, aboard seaplanes that combine the majesty of the skies with the serenity of the waterways. This unique experience, which first began in 1920, is about to make a much anticipated return, promising a unique way to explore the country. Each trip can be enjoyed with the confidence that we are working hand in hand with the relevant government bodies to ensure that both our passengers and the environment will be in the safest of hands.
Seaplanes will offer a way to travel like no other, creating unforgettable memories by connecting remote destinations with unparalleled panoramic views. Alma's operation aims to bring connectivity to remote communities and expand travel options for visitors to Colombia. The number of tourists is growing rapidly, but many destinations remain out of reach. We aim to changes that and bring new revenue streams to outlying communities.
Alma seeks to reach new places, be they rivers, lakes or islands, and thus contribute to extending tourism to new neighbourhoods and populations. Whoever you are, you will be able to customise every detail of your adventure: from spectacular overflights and exclusive transfers, to tailor-made getaways in the most inspiring corners of Colombia.
