Overview

Experience Austin, Texas like never before on a Bird’s Eye View Plane Tour where you’ll soar over Lake Travis, the Pennybacker Bridge, and the downtown skyline, plus take the controls and fly the plane with guidance from a professional pilot.

✨ Take in the stunning blue waters and rugged cliffs of Lake Travis from the sky
🌉 See the iconic Pennybacker Bridge gracefully arching over Lake Austin
🏙️ Fly over Austin’s highlights including the Texas State Capitol and University of Texas Tower
📸 Capture unique aerial photos of the downtown skyline and surrounding Hill Country

On the Bird’s Eye View Plane Tour of Austin, the city’s most iconic landmarks and the rugged beauty of the Texas Hill Country unfold beneath you. In just 30 minutes, the flight glides over Lake Travis with its winding shoreline and cliffside views, passes the graceful Pennybacker Bridge, and then loops into downtown Austin, where the Texas State Capitol, University of Texas Tower, and shimmering skyline come into view. From natural wonders to architectural highlights, every moment offers a postcard-worthy scene.
What makes this experience even more unforgettable is the chance to step beyond passenger status. With the guidance of a professional pilot, you’ll actually take the controls a few times during the flight—getting hands-on time at the helm as you steer over the lakes and city skyline. It’s a rare opportunity to see Austin from above while feeling the exhilaration of flying a plane.
