Get a bird's eye view of the beautiful coastline and historic sites of the Fort Myers area from a thrilling biplane ride with Classic Air Ventures. The open cockpit is perfect for taking photos and passengers love being outfitted with a 1940's era helmet. Goggles are provided if you're sensitive to the wind, and a headset to hear the pilot. It's like riding in the front seat of a convertible only you are cruising along the coastline. Tours vary in length and destination but one of the most popular is a 45-minute ride, beginning over the waters of Pine Island and continuing south over Captiva, Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach and Lovers Key. At times you'll dip to a mere 300 feet above the water. The plane fits two passengers and the schedule is seasonal; no trips in the hot summer months.
