The best view is not from a plane, a mountain top or even the exciting freefall during a skydive. I have experienced all of these. But all of them still pale in comparison to the experience of a helicopter tour. The steady pace, the altitude and the exclusive feeling is very gratifying.
Dan Casey the owner of Channel Island Helicopter Tours has an unassuming demeanor of which made me instantly comfortable with the prospect of my first time in a helicopter. His vast knowledge of his helicopter and desire to share the safety check with me left me at ease and with total confidence in his competency and proficiency.
Dan is not only professional but also very charismatic and friendly. His knowledge of the channel islands and surrounding communities is an asset to a SoCal newbie like myself. When finished I had a much better understanding and appreciation of this gem of an area in SoCal. What a thrilling and fufilling experience. Thank You Dan Casey and Channel Island Helicopter Tours.

My dad and I took my mom out for a Mother' Day helicoptor tour of two of the Channel Islands. It was a great experience.
Daniel (the pilot) was professional and very informative about the islands and our journey. He was interactive with our group and really made us feel welcome. He accommodated a special request from my father (to fly over a specific beach) and even hovered over a specific area for us to take pictures. His assistant Corey (at the terminal) was also very professional and welcoming.
They price was reasonable and we can't wait to go back. I would highly recommend you try them.

Wow, that was a blast! There is absolutely nothing in the world like...leaving it...in a helicopter. I wasn't totally sure what to expect but our pilot, Dan, made the experience for us. We took a tour of the town and beach area then out to a couple of the Channel Islands. The scenery was unbelievable. I swear there must have been 300 dolphins in the pod we saw. They were all just cruising along, dozens jumping at a time. Did I say "uhhh-mazing" already?
Anyway, this trip was such an incredible investment. We made memories that will last forever. Dan is an extremely competent pilot and explained everything he was doing from the moment we arrived until the time we said "see you next time!" Can't say enough good things about this operation...so I'll stop.
Thanks!
