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!

Jessica_T, Jun 2023

I booked over the phone with viator. I was promised a certain tour. Once I arrived to take the tour it a was a totally completely tour. I even paid almost $200 more booking with viator than I would if I would have booked directly with the agent. Which I didn’t know until I arrived. I was very irritated. And it was for my sons birthday.

Great views

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!
