About the Experience

Depart from Long Beach and head skyward on an unforgettable journey that captures every side of Southern California — from the coast to the city and back again. Begin with sweeping views of Long Beach Harbor, the historic Queen Mary, and the massive container ships of the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. As you continue past San Pedro and Rancho Palos Verdes Peninsula, the cliffs give way to the legendary surf towns of Redondo, Hermosa, and Manhattan Beach.

Your flight path then takes you north toward Santa Monica Pier and the celebrity neighborhoods of Beverly Hills and Hollywood. Glide past the Playboy Mansion, circle the iconic Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory, and see the world’s most famous studios — Universal, Warner Bros., and Paramount — from above. As your helicopter turns back south, you’ll take in the glittering sprawl of Downtown Los Angeles and the intricate web of freeways that define the city’s rhythm.

The final leg of your adventure brings you along the stunning Orange County coast — from Newport Beach to Huntington Beach — before returning to Long Beach. This is more than a tour; it’s a sweeping story of Southern California told from the sky.
