OC Helicopters - Santa Ana, California

Had the opportunity to go on my first helicopter ride at OC helicopters and it was awesome.
Ric, The owner and Pilot not only talented, but is a character.
The views were spectacular, the ride was smooth. There was not one point I was afraid.
I definitely recommend whether it’s your first time or your 10th time. Experience is worth it.

100% would recommend to anyone Looking to celebrate something special or just for a spontaneous day. Patty helped me with any questions I had. So if they don’t get to answer your calls because they might be busy, he will surely get back to you. Today we celebrated my sisters and boyfriends birthdays. Ric was our fun-amazing-knowledgeable Pilot who made us feel safe and we had so much fun the whole time up in the air. We truly appreciate the knowledge he shared about his experience as a pilot and what he knew about the city. We all agreed that we would love to come back, particularly with OC helicopters thanks to Ric and Patty. Thank you for the experience

Wow. If you're looking for a helicopter tour out of John Wayne Airport (SNA), there is NO WAY that you could do any better than visiting OC Helicopters.

Captain Ric was the consummate professional, equal parts stellar guide and an incredible, talented, experienced Aviator. He's so good that you'll never want to soar off in to the skies with any other pilot!

Patti was exceptional with her friendly, professional customer service skills, ability, and enthusiasm to make the trip as great as it could have possibly been (even when presented with a last-minute challenge).

Captain Ric grew up in Orange County, his knowledge and stories during the flight a testament to that fact. I highly recommend the "UFO Tour" (it stands for U'll Find Out!) as it allows him the latitude to take in all of what's going on that particular day to make the trip one that you'll (and us) will never, ever forget!

Thank you, Captain Ric. It just plain could not have possibly gone any better than it went!

Booked a trip weeks in advance for a flight on 11/1 and just received a call (10/30) letting me know that their helicopter blades were being repainted/repaired and won't be ready in time. As much as I appreciated the call and apology from the pilot, I was traveling to LA for this and now am not able to take my family on this trip. I feel like other accommodations could have been made. Not sure when I'll be able to book again unfortunately, as the pilot offered to "make it special" in the future.

You guys are amazing! Thank you for the fabulous experience. It was the perfect finale to my daughter’s 13th birthday. We have flown in helicopters before but never had this kind of care. Thank you Patti for helping me schedule and thank you Rick for the absolute best experience ever! I am so lucky that I found you!!!

There is a reason this pilot has ALL 5 star reviews. He is the absolute best on the west coast for Helicopters anything. Yes, I said that.... anything helicopter related, Rick is the man.

Me and my girlfriend booked the Laguna Beach tour from John Wayne airport. We came off our flight and immediately went and boarded Rick’s Heli for a tour.

We received way more than we expected, I’ve done helicopter tours in other parts of the world and this by far was the most personal and exciting tour of them all.

Rick the pilot is awesome and friendly and has a great vibe. Also one thing cool is you get to see the hanger that houses some of OC’s elite jets, Rick knows all about. Very knowledgeable and very safe, I absolutely trusted Rick 100% as his helicopter background is impressive.

Thanks a million.

OC Helicopters is amazing. I booked 2 Laguna beach tours. They created a lifelong experience for me, my kids, and their friends. Not only did they deliver what they advertised, they gave us way more than expected; Patti and Ric (our pilot) showed us what true customer service is supposed to be like; from the greeting in their office, to their awesome friendliness & humor, and of course their professionalism throughout the experience. Plus, Max is the best! You have to go and see Max. They were incredibly professional and incredibly kind. Our pilot was so knowledgeable and gave us so much information along the way that it made it so much fun to understand what we were seeing. (He’s also a great pilot!) Thank you, OC Helicopters, for being so awesome. To anyone even thinking about taking a helicopter tour in Southern California I highly recommend OCH. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

So much fun. Definitely recommend a helicopter ride with OC Helicopters. A family thrill never to be forgotten. Ric was very professional, safety conscious and entertaining.
