What a wonderful way to spend my birthday! I’ve always wanted to ride in a helicopter, and I’m so very glad that I finally did! It was absolutely amazing and exhilarating! The staff are warm, friendly, inviting, and professional. And Aaron, our pilot, was kind, humorous, caring, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour!

Anniversary date flight

Brandon_M, Mar 2023

Celebrated an anniversary with the wife, first time in a helicopter for both of us, our pilot was very relaxed, knowledgeable and professional. As California locals, we were still shocked how beautiful it was from above, it’s a must see. We felt safe the entire time, smiles the whole tour from boarding to landing, 10/10 would definitely do this again.

Rancho Palos Verdes, Los Angeles, and Long Beach from the Air.

Arnie_P, Mar 2023

This tourn was fabulous, apart from the weather that had restricted some of the tour, overall however the pilots did a great job providing me and a friend the main facets of the places of interest across Rancho Palos Verdes and Long Beach. LA was hit by winds and rain so was not on the flight plan. It is a very exceptional tour to add as an itinerary to get the scale of the city. Highly recommended.

Loved it!

Highly disappointed

Rosharnbar_C, Apr 2021

Highly disappointed they counsel multiple tours I booked because the times were not available and it was council a day after I booked the door the last ride that was the same day they canceled I'm very upset about that basically it was a surprise for my husband for your anniversary and I did not receive any notifications due to those cancellations I was looking forward to that. I wish I would've have a chance to experience that I've never been on a helicopter before.

Valerie L, Feb 2018

Tom, our pilot, was fantastic! He made our already great flight even more entertaining with his knowledge of the area and his sense of humor. It was a picture perfect day and we saw a lot that we could never have seen from the ground. If you love flying as I do, I highly recommend this company.
