OBX See-It- All

The Ultimate Outer Banks Helicopter Tour Experience

Experience the most complete helicopter tour the Outer Banks has to offer. This unforgettable adventure showcases the very best of the OBX—from historic landmarks and legendary shipwrecks to towering sand dunes, pristine beaches, lighthouses, fishing villages, and miles of breathtaking Atlantic coastline.

Your journey begins at Manteo Airport, climbing above Roanoke Sound before crossing the beautiful Virginia Dare Memorial Bridge toward the Atlantic Ocean. As the shoreline comes into view, you’ll fly over Jennette’s Pier, one of the most recognizable landmarks on the Outer Banks, before continuing north along miles of pristine beaches and rolling surf.

Next, soar over the massive sand dunes of Jockey’s Ridge State Park, the tallest living sand dune system on the East Coast. Continue past Nags Head Pier, where anglers, surfers, and beachgoers create the classic Outer Banks scene below.

Just offshore, you’ll spot the remains of the historic USS Huron, followed by the famous Triangle Wrecks—ghostly reminders of why these waters became known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic.

Your adventure continues over the Wright Brothers National Memorial, where Orville and Wilbur Wright forever changed aviation history with the world’s first powered flight. From the air, you’ll enjoy an incredible perspective of the monument and the very beaches where aviation was born.

Turning south, you’ll follow the spectacular coastline toward Bodie Island Lighthouse, one of North Carolina’s most photographed landmarks. Nearby you’ll see the winding marshes, tidal creeks, and untouched wilderness that make the Outer Banks so unique.

Soon you’ll arrive at Oregon Inlet, where the Atlantic Ocean meets Pamlico Sound beneath the impressive Marc Basnight Bridge. Look down at the famous Oregon Inlet Fishing Center, commercial fishing boats, charter fleets, and some of the finest sportfishing waters in the world.

Continuing south, you’ll fly over the secluded beaches of Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, where undeveloped shoreline stretches for miles and wildlife is often visible from the air. The coastline then leads to Rodanthe, made famous by its iconic beach houses and the movie Nights in Rodanthe.

Just offshore lies another hidden treasure—the Boiler Wreck, where the remains of an old steamship still rise from the shallow Atlantic waters, offering yet another glimpse into the rich maritime history of the Outer Banks.

As you turn back north, enjoy sweeping views of endless beaches, barrier islands, and sparkling blue water before crossing over the historic fishing village of Wanchese, home to one of the largest commercial fishing fleets on the East Coast and well known as the home port featured on Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks. From above, you’ll see working waterfronts, seafood docks, shrimp boats, sportfishing yachts, and quiet coastal marshes before returning to Manteo.

From legendary shipwrecks and America’s birthplace of flight to iconic lighthouses, untouched wildlife refuges, world-famous fishing waters, and charming coastal villages, this is the ultimate Outer Banks helicopter experience.

If you only take one helicopter tour during your vacation, make it this one. It showcases nearly everything that has made the Outer Banks one of America’s most unforgettable coastal destinations.
