About this tour
The Pirates of Galveston is more than a walking tour. It’s an interactive pirate adventure that turns guests into members of Lady Saelym’s crew and brings Galveston’s colorful pirate past to life.
The experience is built around the real history of Galveston’s pirate era, including Jean Lafitte, Louis Aury and the infamous Kingdom of Campeche. Fascinating history mixes with legends, pirate lore, humor and a little mischief along the way.
Instead of simply listening to stories, guests become part of the experience, earning pirate ranks and discovering what life, work and adventure were really like for a pirate crew.
Led by the unforgettable Lady Saelym, the tour combines theatrical storytelling, audience participation and historical interpretation to create an experience that’s fun, memorable and unlike a traditional history tour.

Ghost On the Strand Ghost Tour

Galveston has seen a horrifying number of sudden deaths. An ungodly number of the islands dearly departed, well never departed. Their spirits are lurking in the shadows, alleys, staircases and stalk THE STRAND every day! The historic 19th century buildings on THE STRAND have become ghost sanctuaries. And the ghosts inside are just dying to meet you. Join us on our 90 minute walking tour as we explore the fascinating paranormal happenings on the strand, the original street of horror. Hurricanes, war, fire, and epidemics! The pirate Jean Lafitte even turned the island into a den of thieves. Galveston has more ghosts than any other city in U.S. Walking in the night, translucent figures will float by the windows. Shadows will suddenly appear and objects move of their own accord as we huddle closer to one another for are mutual protection. We never know what’s waiting for us around the corners. Beware and be scared! After all Galveston is nothing but “a cemetery with a beach attached.”
