A Helicopter Tour of Los Angeles

by Ron

Los Angeles Helicopter TourWhen a romantic dinner just won’t cut it…

Looking for something totally spontaneous and out of the ordinary to surprise that special someone? Whether it’s your anniversary, birthday, or just another date - a helicopter tour of the city is a fantastic experience that’s sure to be a hit (assuming of course that your significant other isn't afraid of heights).

Los Angeles is home to about a half dozen helicopter charter companies that would be more than willing to help you plan that perfect evening. Packages vary from a simple 25-minute tour of popular Los Angeles landmarks and/or Pacific Coast to something a little more elaborate such as a limousine ride, tour, and dinner.

The cost is a little hefty so it’s not the most practical idea if you’re working with a budget. Prices vary based on the charter company but can expect to spend about $150/each for a 30-minute tour and upwards of $200/each for a 45-minute run. Add dinner and a limousine ride and you'll be in for a $1,000 evening.
