Galveston’s terminals sit on the island’s harbor side, near the Strand historic district and about an hour from Houston’s airports. Arrive early for a history and architecture tour of the Victorian mansions, a dolphin-watching boat trip in the harbor, or a sightseeing loop through Houston on the way down.
