Biplane rides over the scenic Outer Banks

The absolute best way to view the magnificent beauty of the Outer Banks of North Carolina is from our big red biplane!

Seating up to TWO PASSENGERS in front of the pilot, our open-cockpit aircraft is one of the original WWII trainer biplanes built by Waco. Flying in this vintage aircraft is truly an unforgettable experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

“The most thrilling experience of my OBX vacation!”

I heard about these airplane adventure tours on the Outer Banks tourism website and doing one was on the top of my list for a must-do activity during my first time at the Outer Banks. I looked at a few of the companies offering these tours, and after calling Barrier Island Aviation and speaking to Stephanie, I decided that this was who I would be flying with. I had every intention on doing the basic 5-8 minute biplane tour, however, when we arrived at Barrier Island, Andy (the pilot), recommended the 10-12 minute tour of the town of Manteo and Jockey's Ridge and I am SO GLAD that he did! We got to see people shelling at Jockey's Ridge, three dolphins near the shore of Nag's Head, a school of skates, and a shipwreck. Andy pointed out things as we made a few passes over the ocean and Nag's Head Pier and I was able to take over 600 pictures. I would recommend Barrier Island Biplane Air Tours to anyone wishing to have an exciting experience that will last a lifetime!!! Upon leaving the airplane hangar, Stephanie gave us a DVD of our tour (included in the cost of the tour!) so that we could share it with friends and family as well as relive our adventure.
