What's included in The Catalina Explorer Helicopter Tour | California
(Subject to Option Inclusions)
Discover the best of Catalina Island on this all-encompassing aerial tour over California’s island retreat! Depart from Pebbly Beach for a 20-minute journey showcasing the untouched beauty of this 22-mile-long sanctuary, with its rugged terrain and oceanfront cliffs.
Begin your flight over Avalon, the lively hub of Catalina Island, steeped in history and charm. Soar above this scenic harbor town, lined with quaint boutiques and eateries, and pass by landmarks like the Catalina Casino, Descanso Beach Club, and Hamilton Cove. Watch for buffalo roaming the hills, eagles soaring overhead, or dolphins along the coast as you glide over breathtaking beaches and hidden coves, including Bird Rock, Empire Landing, and Isthmus Cove.
Next, fly over Two Harbors, a charming village where the island narrows to just a quarter-mile wide. Pass over the Airport in the Sky and historic sites such as Middle Ranch and El Rancho Escondido, once the Wrigley family’s Arabian Horse Ranch and now a beautiful hillside vineyard.
End your adventure with a flight over the Wrigley Memorial & Botanic Garden, the historic Catalina Island Golf Course, and the island’s highest peak, Mount Orizaba, before descending over Catalina Bay for a final stunning view.
