GREAT VALUE BEACH TOUR: STARTING AT $50
Take this exciting 7-mile tour that takes you over the Pleasure Pier, along the seawall, to East Beach before returning to our helipad at Stewart Beach. A great tour for the “first-timer” or those who want to see what helicopter flights are like.
BEST SELLING SEA LIFE TOUR: STARTING AT $100 PER PERSON This tour covers 14 miles. Fly the seawall, along the awesome Galveston beachfront, to East Beach, around and into the harbor, and along the shipping channel where you’ll look for dolphins, rays, turtles and other sea animals. A great way to see the island.
AROUND THE ISLAND TOUR: OUR FAVORITE STARTING AT $150 This is the big kahuna! Over 24 miles of spectacular scenario around Galveston Island. See everything from Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn, through the port and harbor, around Pelican Island and SeaWolf Park, and down the entire Galveston seawall. $150 per person.
SUNSET TOUR: STARTING AT $175 PER PERSON This is a great way to end a day at the beach. For 25 miles, you’ll get a dramatic tour of the entire Galveston Island with a perfect sunset to end the day . A great anniversary gift, birthday present, or a unique opportunity to “POP” the question! Only one – last flight of the day. $175 per person.

This was my first time in a helicopter. What a heck of an experience! I called over and spoke to Kyle to see if they were flying on Thursday afternoon and they were open! He was super helpful on the phone. I signed up and within 15 minutes I was up in the air with Neil. He is an awesome pilot who made the experience. He told me about all the spots we flew over with great commentary and he did some banking turns to my comfort level. What an amazing experience. He even suggested I eat at Katie’s, which I just left and was extremely thrilled with his recommendation. Overall I give this experience 5+ stars!!! Bob L

First time on a helicopter and it was awesome. I am a PPL student in Nova Scotia Canada at the Greenwood AFB and I love aviation. The pilot Neil was professional and spoke at length with us before our flight , his love of aviation is obvious and he chose the right career path for sure. He is definitely on his way to a great career in Helicopter. The flight was short but what a awesome experience. The views of the beach and the area were pretty cool. The cost to fly was absolutely reasonable and would definitely be choosing the longest flight they have next time I'm in Galveston. Very safe and affordable tourist company in the area and I recommend doing it at least once or more for the thrill and experience of it. A beach landing would be a good idea as part of the longer tours hopefully in the future! ( just a thought) Great Job Neil and reach out to me personally here and will connect on FB and keep in touch as fellow aviators. Ron Gibson PPL student eastern seaboard Canada

Good afternoon, I was there with the friend of mine on New Year's Eve morning. My friend and I have never been on a helicopter and wanted to experience it before the end of the year. I do have to say that everybody has been very accommodating very informative and very clear on instructions. Are flight conductor Kyle was very kind and very to the point. Our pilot Neil was just incredible very accommodating informative and a great sense of humor. I did speak with a lady by the name of Therese. And I did inform her that our experience and she also was very kind and accommodating. I do look forward to doing this again but a little longer trip than I originally had. Thank you again for a wonderful experience.

My 7yo daughter and I had an amazing time on the Sealife tour. We walked up and were surprised to be able to get a flight that same day. They were professional during the booking, in flight, and pointed out landmarks along our flight. We are going to make a reservation the next time we are down for the Island tour. Highly recommend this fun adventure!
