You’ll take off from Long Beach and begin over the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, among the busiest in the world and a reminder that this city runs on far more than film sets. From here, the route cuts inland past the Vincent Thomas Bridge and across the city towards the coast and the hills beyond. As the helicopter climbs over Beverly Hills and Bel Air, the scenery shifts to winding roads, hidden homes, and long views stretching towards the Pacific. The Hollywood sign comes next, and this is where the aerial view really earns its keep. From the ground, the sign is surprisingly distant and often partially hidden. From the air, you see it head-on, framed by the hills it was built to sit on. You’ll continue over Griffith Park and its hilltop observatory before crossing into Downtown Los Angeles, where the city tightens into a dense grid of towers, freeways, and sports and entertainment districts that show just how big and varied LA really is. The flight finishes back over Long Beach, circling the waterfront and downtown area before passing the historic Queen Mary, a retired ocean liner from the 1930s that now sits permanently docked in the harbour. • Duration: 40 minutes • Daily departures • Operates year round  • Group experience

This is your peek behind the hedges, passing the homes of well-known actors, musicians, and industry names, with context on how these neighbourhoods became so closely tied to Hollywood life.
