About this activity

Be prepared for the experience of a lifetime when you soar above all that Los Angeles has to offer for 60 minutes on a doors-off, glare-free aerial helicopter photography flight.

Leaving Long Beach, heading straight to Downtown Long Beach and the the Queen Mary ship. Then, over the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to the famous Vincent Thomas Bridge, seen in the movie 'Gone in 60 Seconds' with Nicholas Cage.

From there you will see the USS Battleship Iowa and head around the magnificent Palos Verdes Peninsula. Then up to the Manhattan Beach Pier, skimming along the waves through LAX and up to the famous Venice Beach.

Upon reaching the iconic Santa Monica Pier you will head inland over Beverly Hills, UCLA, and Hollywood before cruising by the timeless Hollywood Sign and Griffith Park Observatory.

Then you will head over to the Dodgers Stadium and Downtown LA, marveling at the height of the US Bank building, the tallest on the West Coast, before heading back to Long Beach.
