My wife and I bought each other the birthday present of a helicopter flight for our birthdays. From the first call to Hanger 21, Nolan, who was also our pilot, was incredibly friendly and accommodating. When we got there the place was very cool and easy to find with plenty of parking and the waiver and safety meeting, etc… was quick and informative. Nolan was also great in flight, pointing out landmarks, wildlife, even flying around certain points of interest and taking us for some fun turns, after asking how we were with motion sickness. The flight was so smooth and we never felt unsafe. 10 out of 10 will return and recommend to anyone. One of the best experience of my life.

We were celebrating our 28th anniversary with an OC Surf Tour. It was an amazing experience to see our local beaches that we’ve been to for so many years. To see them from the air was a fantastic experience. A totally different perspective seeing from above. We had a blast. Thank you so much.
The staff here is amazing, Mike made our vision came true and Simon gave us a wonderful tour. These guys are both top notch, I would highly recommend going here, the prices are well worth the trip.
