German translation:aus der (Wasser)Vogelperspektive
Explanation:
Just a little suggestion - I don't know if this will help you. I was intrigued by the play on words in "flightseeing", which is difficult to get across into German. But maybe you can phrase your sentence to include something like Vogelperspektive. Not knowing your context, I could imagine something like "Lassen Sie sich die Sehenswürdigkeiten einmal aus der Wasservogelperspektive zeigen - bei einem Rundflug in einem unserer komfortablen Seeflugzeuge." HTH! And good luck.

This is a great idea! I think I will go with my original terms but incorporate the "Vogelperspektive" somehow. Thanks to McCrosky as well!

Explanation:
Your suggested translations are perfectly correct. uels idea to duplicate the "Flightseeing" play on words with something imaginative like "Wasservogelperspektive" is very good. - Other possibilities might be something with "Adleraugenblicke" or "Seeadleraugenblicke". - For your background info, we have some tourism activities of this type here in Hamburg that you can see under Northern Light or AltaVista with the following query:
