Discover the Unspoiled Splendor of Catalina: A 20-Minute Helicopter Tour

See the best of Catalina on this all-encompassing aerial tour over California's island escape! Depart from Pebbly Beach for a 20-minute exploration into the mostly untouched natural beauty of the 22-mile-long island sanctuary featuring a rugged interior and cliffs rising from the ocean.

Our guide to Catalina Explorer Helicopter Tour

Begin your journey over Avalon, a vibrant centerpiece to Catalina Island brimming with rich history. This picturesque harbor town offers charming streets lined with quaint boutiques and eateries. Fly past the Catalina Casino, Descanso Beach Club, and Hamilton Cove. Look for buffalo roaming the hills, soaring eagles, or dolphins on the coastline as you catch glimpses of the beautiful beaches and secluded coves including Bird Rock, Empire Landing, and Isthmus Cove.

Journey past Two Harbors, a small and magical village where the island is only a quarter-mile wide. Fly over the Airport in the Sky and historical landmarks including Middle Ranch and El Rancho Escondido, a stunning hillside vineyard that once served as the Wrigley family's Arabian Horse Ranch.

Conclude your adventure by passing the Wrigley Memorial & Botanic Garden, the historic Catalina Island Golf Course, and the island’s highest peak, Mount Orizaba as you descend past Catalina Bay one last time.
