Flights generally take place in the early morning or later evening when the winds are lightest. Hot air balloon rides are an adventurous activity, perfect for a couple's vacation or a small group.

Helicopter Tours

Taking off from Gulf Shores Airport, helicopter tours offer a variety of choices. Go purely scenic, flying above the dazzling Gulf Shores and Orange Beach shoreline for the best view you've ever seen. Or take a ride into the past, flying over the Civil War-era Fort Morgan and nearby Fort Gaines. From a helicopter at that height, you’ll be able to spot shipwrecks resting on Alabama's Gulf sands as well fish and dolphin swimming below.

Delta Safari Tours

An ecotourism jewel just north of Mobile Bay, the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta includes a variety of habitats, including cypress swamps, brackish marshes, bottomland forests and underwater grass beds. A number of tour operators lead expeditions and delta safaris into the state’s largest wetland. Explore via airboat or tour boat. Either way, you will definitely see alligators.
