It was such a fun experience! The views of the city were incredible, and our pilot Zack was super friendly. He wasn’t just flying the helicopter, he pointed out key attractions around downtown LA and gave us great tour guide tips. Would 100% recommend!

I took a demo flight at Anthelion Helicopters as I always wanted to fly the Cabri G2, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Before getting into the helicopter, I had a 10-minute session in their simulator to become familiar with the controls. Thomas was a fantastic flight instructor—patient, knowledgeable, and made the flight enjoyable. I highly recommend Anthelion Helicopters to anyone interested in trying a demo flight in the greater Los Angeles area!

Incredible experience for my son! He loves flying and this was a dream come true for him. The team was awesome I am not only gave him extra time, but spent time telling him how he can become a helicopter pilot and answering his million questions very patiently. We can’t wait to do this again soon, highly recommend this experience!! Thanks so much!

We opted for the Surf and Turf 45 min tour and were really pleased with this tour. Our pilots provided a great flight, very informative, but fun too. The whole process from booking to boarding was excellent and the location has plenty of car parking which was great. I would highly recommend.

I attended Anthelion Helicopters to get my PPL (H) add-on license. I am a full-time corporate pilot with around 12 years experience flying fixed wings and had always wanted to fly helicopters. I reached out a couple weeks before training start date and arranged everything, I was going to Long Beach, CA to do an initial type in Flight Safety International and wanted to do both things during that month I would be there. I explained this situation to the Anthelion team, and they were always very comprehensive and helpful arranging my schedule so it would not interfere with my other training event. I was motivated to choose this school because of their prime location in Long Beach Airport, this made training very smooth due to the airport facilities (landing pads), awesome SoCal weather, and for being sea level which makes helicopters perform great, this helps getting more weather friendly days to fly and are ideal conditions for helicopter flying in the safest environment possible. Training was very professional; instructors were great, and the helicopters were always maintained to the highest standards. I finished my add-on in approximately 20 days trying to fly almost daily, it was a very positive experience! I would absolutely recommend Anthelion Helicopters to any seasoned fixed-wing pilot or any person new to aviation (domestic or international), they’re true professionals and will always arrange training so it suits your needs, they also managed the TSA request very diligently (required because I’m an international student). It’s very important to mention that the initial training quote was conservative, I ended up spending a little less money than quoted, this speaks very well about them and their transparency with clients. Hope to be back soon to add instrument rating and commercial!

Something I wanted to do before I die was take a helicopter ride and after researching which helicopter companies to fly with, I chose Anthelion because my gut just said so. I am very pleased that I chose this company.

Anthelion Helicopters made my 6 year anniversary trip very special and memorable. It was my partner and I’s first time on a helicopter and we were very nervous. We didn’t know what to expect but at the end of our tour, our expectations were blown away. Our pilots Travis and Eric were knowledgeable and friendly — we thoroughly enjoyed our flight with them and wouldn’t have it any other way! I was very impressed with their willingness to calm down our nerves by ensuring that it was going to be a smooth ride and it was!

We went on the Surf & Turf tour and were able to see all the beaches along the coast, Downtown LA, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Hollywood Hills, and the infamous Hollywood sign. We were also able to get some viewings of Long Beach and the port. It was a commendable and beautiful experience. We would definitely come back again!
