The Beach Special Tour takes passengers on a flight over the second busiest cruise ship port in the world as you fly past the Port’s local fishing fleet and around the Canaveral locks.

Passengers can catch a glimpse of marinas, piers, the NASA Launch Pads, and you might even get a view of manatees and dolphins playing in the water.

The Flight Experience Tour gives you the same views as the Beach Special Tour, with the added benefit of catching the sight of a U.S. Navy Submarine at the Trident Turning Basin.

The Flight Adventure Tour adds to the Port Tour by flying from the Port to the Cocoa Beach Pier, down the Cocoa Beach Shoreline. Passengers can wave to sunbathers and possibly spot sharks, stingrays, and plenty of surfers in the water.

The Classic Tour takes passengers down the beach to see the entirety of the Cocoa Beach Area. Gliding down the Banana River and circling over the Thousand Islands, which are home to pelicans and a plethora of marine wildlife.

The See It All Tour is the grand tour experience that has the best of all the tours combined! With views of the beach, the Port, the St. John’s River, and topping it all off with the famous “Space Shuttle Runway pass: at Kennedy Space Center, you really will see it all.
