If you’re looking for a fun adventure with cool sites, this is it! I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband and originally scheduled for New Year’s Eve; however, the weather was iffy so I rescheduled for Valentine’s Day. The weather was sunny and mostly clear, ideally this tour would be perfect right after a rain for optimal visibility. Our pilot Colby was excellent - super friendly and knowledgeable and he made sure we were safe. The office staff is communicative, helpful and welcoming. I would love to book this tour again, next time will try for a sunset booking!

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

Gabrielle_P, Jun 2023

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!

How I Spent My 67th Birthday

LaJuana_H, Jun 2021
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!

Best time of my life

Adolfo_L, Apr 2021
My kid’s said it was really fun they were so happy they flew in a helicopter kid’s want to do it again soon

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.

10/10 recommend

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.
