De Luna Shipwreck Helicopter Tour
With over 40 miles of breath taking scenery, 20 miles over the beach and lasting about 30 minutes (aprox), you'll see everything the Gulf Coast has to offer! Conquistador Tristan De Luna sailed into "Ochuse Bay" (modern Pensacola Bay) in 1559 with a fleet of eleven ships and 1,500 soldiers establishing the first European settlement in the United States. Unfortunately, a huge hurricane swept in on the night of September 1558 and destroyed the De Luna fleet. Come fly over America's oldest settlement and the sight of De Luna shipwreck.
The De Luna Shipwreck Tour is our longest and most comprehensive helicopter tour in and around Florida's Pensacola Beach and historic downtown. You can expect to see a huge part of Gulf Island National Seashore and it's spectacular scenery which includes; Fort Pickens, Naval Air Station Pensacola (Home to the Blue Angels), Pensacola historic lighthouse, Fort McRee, Big Lagoon, Johnson Beach, Pensacola Beach Ball, the Blue Wahoos Baseball Stadium and the shipwreck site of Tristan De Luna's ill fated Spanish fleet.
