We saw a great view of the Long Beach shoreline. A friendly and knowledgeable pilot gave us a great tour and flight experience.

We wanted to experience a helicopter tour of the greater Orange County area during our recent trip to Irvine. We booked our flight with Anthelion Helicopter and had a great time. The helicopter accommodates up to three people but is absolutely perfect for just 2 as well. It is a private tour in essence. We departed the airport and toured over the city and towards the coastline. The ride was comfortable and we enjoyed the views. The total flight time was about 15 minutes and although it seems like a short period it was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend considering this tour for a great experience at a great time. There is some construction on Airflite road which led to a little confusion using GPS on maps to find the correct location at the end of hangar row but we eventually found it (it’s the entrance just after Royal Electric). Good luck and have fun!

amazing experience! but don’t ask how long they’ve been flying lol, apparently pilots get asked that a lot and have a fun answer every time

Our tour guide was very informative. The tour over Long Beach was great. It was a surprise for my wife birthday celebration. Awesome time.

The place was clean and well maintained. Went for my moms bday. The experience was very short. Super informative and fun. I was under the impression the actual flight was 15 minutes long. However that part was 5 minutes. 5 minutes safety briefing and checking the copter to make sure everything is safe. And then landing early to wait to turn off the copter all counts for the 15 minutes. So the actual flight is 5 minutes -8 minutes max. Other than the misinformation the experience is fun.

An exciting aerial view of all the things and places we see from land around Long Beach. Tanner was an AWESOME Pilot. Tanner took time with the kids to explain all that was happening. Our flight was FUN, easy and with so problems. Highly recommended for a fun morning or afternoon activity.
