Scenic Biplane Ride Over Galveston

A unique aerial experience in Galveston

An open-cockpit biplane flight in Galveston is a rare activity that lets you relive 1930s aviation. You board a retro aircraft, an open-cockpit biplane, accompanied by a professional pilot. The experience begins on the tarmac, where the team presents the aircraft and gives you a vintage-style flight helmet and goggles. The engine starts, the plane rolls down the runway, and climbs above the Gulf of Mexico.

Flight over the beaches and the waterfront

From takeoff, the view opens over Galveston’s beaches and the Pleasure Pier. The biplane moves gently at low altitude, which allows you to admire the coast, the hotels, and the bridges that connect the island to the mainland. You see downtown, its historic buildings, and the busy port. The pilot comments on the sights, which makes the flight lively and informative.

A retro flight for two passengers

This private flight can accommodate up to two passengers. It’s a very popular activity for couples or friends who want to share a different experience. The biplane, with its open cockpit, lets you feel the wind and the engine vibrations while enjoying the panorama. It’s a perfect mix of relaxation and sensation.

Discovering the Gulf of Mexico from the sky

The flight lasts about 30 minutes and offers a complete view of Galveston and its surroundings. You can see the beaches stretching as far as the eye can see and the deep blue of the Gulf of Mexico. In clear weather, you can make out the ports of Houston to the north and the natural areas surrounding the coast. The aircraft then descends toward the runway for a smooth landing.
