[co-production with hoecker/gray] A weekly travel/adventure series exploring the heart and soul of regional cultures and landscapes via the unique use of flying boats. Yes, the romantic age of marine aviation is back as your host Johanna Hoecker takes you on 'safari' to some of the most interesting places in the world. From Maine to Mexico, Arizona to Alaska, Seaplane Safari will reveal the hidden beauty of these locales, take an in-depth look at the native culture, and examine how our precious environment is coping with humanity’s ever increasing intrusions. Throughout the first season, we dare to explore the unconventional and the unexpected. Sure, viewers will get to experience the pristine reaches of Canada’s Yukon Territory, but we’ll also take them to the industrialized chaos of New York harbor. You’re probably wondering what native cultures there are near the shores of metropolitan New York. Well, our crack research staff informs us that while most of that part of America is not indigenous, colonies have been there long enough to develop bizarre and sordid rituals unique unto themselves. We plan to infiltrate those enclaves and expose them in a most thorough and entertaining way. THE HOST:
Johanna, an accomplished equestrian, is an award-winning news producer who has appeared in Off-Broadway shows as well as comedy sketches for independent filmmakers. The combination of news and live entertainment experience is exactly what Seaplane Safari needs in a host.

The
leader of our weekly expedition is the charming yet down-to-earth Johanna
Hoecker. Johanna’s bright and inquisitive persona will engage viewers as she
interacts with some of the most ornery people they’ll ever meet – the bush
pilot. Joining her each week will be a local aviator who will take us to the
most unpredictable locations where viewers will learn why there is nothing like
traveling the world in a ‘flying boat’.
