This was THE BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE!!!!! Ever.
It is the biggest and most beautiful thrill! An absolute must do for locals and tourists.
When looking for a helicopter company to fly with I wanted to make sure I was safe. When doing my research I realized that almost all other helicopter companies are just one pilot and their helicopter working out of a hanger. Seemed a little weird and made me nervous. Then I found Orbic Air! Not only are they all pilots, they are also all flight instructors... So they reaaalllllly know what they are doing. That's right, it's a school, tour and charter company.
I've flown with Orbic Air over 5 times for over 6 years and it has gone perfect every single time. Their office is beautiful, and the helicopters are roomy and sleek. There's even a Rolls Royce engine one if you really want to arrive to your destination in style!
Arly who works in the front always takes her time to make sure all my flight details are taken care of, so I have nothing to worry about. She makes me feel like I'm a VIP celebrity.
David, Merlinda, Brennan and Cherif are my favorite pilots. They not only know a vast information about Los Angeles but they are extremely kind, professional, funny and most important SAFE! They have taken their time to go over all of my questions and they even do a full check of their helicopter before every single flight.
If you're a local this is something you MUST do. I've lived in Los Angeles all my life and I still get to see things I have never seen when I go up in the air. This is the closest way to get to the Hollywood sign and to see Downtown Los Angeles, the luxury home areas, and mountains from above. The beach view is incredible, I even saw dolphins!!!!! I also got to see all the celebrity homes of my favorite stars.
If you're a tourist to Los Angeles .. There is nothing I recommend more than this! If you really want to see all of Los Angeles, this is the only way! Make sure you bring a camera to get that once in a lifetime shot to show off to all your friends.
I did a mountain top landing picnic for my anniversary about 5 years ago and I have not stopped talking about it ever since. The ride is so smooth, and even though I have a fear of heights.. It all went away the minute I saw all the beautiful views.
If you're a couple and possibly want to propose or do the most romantic thing ever , a group of friends wanting to see LA, a solo flyer that wants to take some great pictures, or are looking for a perfect gift... This is perfect for you.
They also have a charter service, so if you have the luxury of affording to skip the airlines and fly to Las Vegas privately or go somewhere in California..this is the most...
Read moreStay away from this company!!! I purchased a Malibu Coastline Tour as a Birthday gift for my husband (total of $455 dollars) not knowing his health would become frail and no longer be able to enjoy this tour, I contacted Orbic air in hopes they could cancel and refund the money only to receive short and rude response from the representative. I understand that this is a business and there's cancellation policies I agreed to such as losing 50% of total value if I were to cancel however they wont even offer me a single dollar back. Times are though, Im normally the type of person that doesn't leave bad reviews. I rather look the other way and give people the benefit of the doubt but this is the first time a company in which I trsuted and gave my business to won't move a finger to assist their customer. Side note~ i did give them a second opportunity by reaching out and E-mailing them that I had recently lost my job due to COVID-19, I didn;t receive any stimulus check nor receive state help. I work hard for every dollar however there is no job to return to as of today . I was honestly hoping they would at least give me $100 dollars at this point since current outbreak situation isn't really helping current economy and once again their answer was " we pay hundreds of dollars to have our aircrafts just sitting here every day" It must really take someone who's never had to do the though choice of deciding to paying bills or the rent this month to give that type of answer. I trust in god i will overcome this situation which I never though I would find myself in ...and so will other millions of fellow americans and once we're back on our feet and ready to take adventures such as flying on a helicopter..you can rest assured it won't be with Orbic Air. I will make sure to use social media to warn people to stay away from this company as much as I possibly can.
Thank you Orbic Air for being quick on charging my Debit card but rude and inhuman when trying to reach out to you...
Read moreI hate to write negative things regarding anyones places of business HOWEVER, this company has treated me so horribly that I felt it only right to warn people!! DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM!! The level of unprofessionalism they have displayed is astonishing.
My company booked 3 helicopters to leave from the Los Angeles area to take guest to Santa Barbara for a private event. The private LAUNCH of my company in fact, so you can imagine the importance of the day. On the morning of my event my guest began to arrive at the private airport, and only at that very moment were we told that they only had 2 helicopters available!! They gave us NO forewarning. NEVER called before hand to notify us.. And had ZERO resolution. So, as a result 1/3 of my guest had to stay behind, alone, on the tarmac waiting for one of the helicopter to go and come all the way back for them. It took over an HOUR!!! A few of my guest even went home as a result of the inconvenienced to their time.. and my ENTIRE DAY was ruined. AND TO MAKE IT WORSE... They offered me next to nothing as a means of restitution for their gross oversight. To this day I still have yet to receive any type of refund. They cost me thousands of dollars in damages and refuse to make right their wrong. It's truly sad how they handled this whole situation. BE WARNED!...
