Anthelion Helicopters

Surprised my Dad with a helicopter lesson for Father’s Day and it was such an awesome experience from start to finish! Travis was his instructor and he was so calm and relaxed which was perfect seeing that my dad was a little nervous. My dad left with the biggest smile on his face saying, «I haven’t had that my fun in a long time.» it was music to my ears. Thank you Anthelion for a memorable Father’s Day!

I recommend this place for anyone who wants a little excitement without jumping out of a Plane lol

Had an awesome time. Took the flight simulator and intro flight. We were met by Lauren who stayed with us the entire time. She was very knowledgable and extremely patient when it came to correcting us in the simulator. She was very transparent and receptive to questions, really made me feel like I could ask anything; allowing me to feel relaxed. If your going to go up for anything I would highly recommend Lauren

Absolutely great staff at Anthelion Helicopters! The team gives an incredibly warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our tour pilot was Travis Boecker and he is such a cool dude. Definitely going to make sure to come back and visit the Anthelion family. Thank you for the awesome memories!

Absolutely left speechless with this company and staff. Firstly, I’d like to thank Travis for being such a great pilot and wingman. The extremely humble CEO Alex, who introduced himself to us and catered to our questions. Also, the staff who were never rude and always accommodating. The purpose of my visit was to surprise propose to my girlfriend on our 8 year anniversary. I visited Anthelion the day before to plan for the big day. Travis and Alex spent their time off work to help me concoct the most elaborate surprise proposal plan. The prices of every tour is extremely competitive, but in reality, the prices seem to fade away with the phenomenal customer service Anthelion takes pride in. Almost all of the staff have military backgrounds, but never make their clients feel intimidated. From their business model, to the level of professionalism and down to earth outlook, Anthelion is represents the next level of helicopter endeavors. I will be coming back soon for classes. Shout-​out to Travis for being that perfect element on our special night! Smoothest flight ever!

I surprised my husband with a childhood Dream come true. He got to fly a Helicopter. From the moment Lauren (our training Pilot) greeted us we felt so excited and at ease. This was such a smooth basic training for him and I was able to come along the ride too. I highly recommend this company to anyone. Also the Helicopter was well maintained inside and out. We are sure to fly again but this time possible go sight seeing. Thanks again Lauren!!!

There are quite a number of flight schools in southern California and deciding which one to go through can be challenging. I went to two different schools one in California and one out of state before I finally arrived at Anthelion.
What drew me to them at first was their incredible customer service. When I called to inquire about the school I was pleasantly surprised when Alex the owner answered the phone. He took the time to answer all my questions and then was also there when I went to visit the school. It’s not often in this industry you’ll find the owner or chief (Nina) taking the time to meet every student that walks through their doors, but that’s just what this school does. That is their standard of excellence.

What kept me at this school was Anthelion’s complete dedication to giving me the highest level of education, both in the classroom and in the air. I felt completely safe with all their pilots.
I just earned my instrument rating with Anthelion and I know I will continue the process towards becoming a professional pilot with them. My instructor Lauren has been incredible. She is patient, knowledgeable and someone that exudes excellence. As a student I look for an instructor who not only has skills when it comes to flying but faultless character, because I know along the way I will pick up their habits and thought process.
Overall, I highly recommend this school. They will bring out the best in you and refine your skill set. I am so thankful I found them when I did, I would not have received my instrument rating without their encouragement and support. They will not waste your time, and they certainly will not waste your money. They make it a point to not overcharge you or make you fly when there is not a need.
If you’re considering a flight school just for fun or for a career Anthelion is the right choice. Give them a call and I’m sure you’ll be as impressed as I was.

the best experience ever! all the staffs are very nice and did not encountered a single problem. my husband and my mom were so happy to enjoy the flight and the great views. i will come back for next special occasion for sure. the pilot was so knowledgeable and explained every steps to make us feel comfortable.

Checked another thing off my bucket list! Introductory helicopter flight was amazing! My pilot/​instructor, Rafael, was patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. It didn’t hurt that he was both charming and good looking! Thank you Anthelion!

Absolutely amazing and knowledgeable staff!
Everyone is beyond professional and I’ve been taking pilot lessons and love every second of it!
I highly recommend! Whether your learning to fly, touring, doing photography, or a sunset cruise!
I recommend every instructor, they are all amazing!
I recommend highly to any and everyone!
6 stars!

Fantastic! Service was supreme. Our pilot was amazing and Alex took the time to personally introduce himself to us as well as accompany is from the hanger to the office. Looking forward to his charter service as we will be using them again soon. Highly highly recommend!

LOVED EVERYTHING! But I feel that is pretty TACKY that you give an option of 10%, 15%, or 20% tip of a $ 600 bill to begin with??? I did tip, but don’t even request a tip like a waiter or waitress that hardly EVER GIVES A BILL OF $ 600. Not all your customers are RICH and this is a treat for the family. Get rid of the percentage and let people tip what they can. I tipped $ 20 bucks and I feel that is good for one hour. Your suggestion of a certain percentage was wrong of you. I did see the gratuity sign in your copter and thought right away I would give a $ 20 tip even though I thought it was weird asking for a tip if I was spending $ 600 for one hour of work. Don’t you pay your employee’s enough? I will say I felt like I was not tipping enough because of your percentages. I just hope my review will give your future customers the courage to NOT TIP because we are paying you hundreds of dollars and this is not a $ 30 hair cut and I’m positive your employees don’t make min wage. I wish I didn’t tip, I was forced by your sign and the percentage option you give when I pay. I should have known $ 600 for one hour did not require a tip. It will never happen again.

For my birthday my wife surprised me with a helicopter tour with Anthelion Helicopters. The whole experience was fantastic. Alex was our pilot and he was great. There was a thick marine layer along the coast that day but Alex already had a great alternate route figured out. Can’t recommend a helicopter tour with Anthelion any higher!

I decided to surprise my then gf with a helicopter tour of LA and proposal to follow. The crew at Athelion were truly amazing. They made it the perfect proposal and I can’t not thank them enough. Ashley and Cody (our pilot) were awesome! Truly an amazing way to see the city and its surroundings. Highly recommend them!

Took my daughter as an early birthday gift. We had an amazing time. Everyone was great from Ashley whom scheduled our flight to Alex whom was our pilot. We took the 1hr tour. The tour was well planned hit the highlights of the city and a great return on the cost. Highly recommend this place.

My wife surprised me for my birthday with a helicopter lesson/​tour. It was absolutely amazing. Dimitri was my teacher and he made the experience fun and enjoyable. He took us up and gave a great tour of long beach and the Palos Verdes coast line. It was beautiful because we took off at sunset and it turned nighttime while in the air so we got to see the city lights too. I would definitely love to get another tour because it was absolutely a very memorable experience. Thanks Dimitri and team!

Went on my first helicopter ride yesterday for my birthday, and it was truly a great experience. Kyler was the pilot and the ride was so smooth. The view was amazing will definitely be coming back!

Definitely coming back for more lessons here. Staff abs flight crew was knowledgeable, attentive, personable and help ease your mind about flying a helicopter. Highly recommend Anthelion Helicopter.

Surprised my wife for her birthday for an hour tour over Southern California. Staff was awesome and our pilot, Alex, made my wife feel at ease on her first helicopter ride. It was cool seeing the surfers and beach goers waving to us as we flew over the coastline before heading over the city. I highly recommend to add this to your bucket trip and use Anthelion! Someday will do this again! Thanks Alex, Cody and Nina! You guys rock!

Nina and Alex are the best!
My date took me here for a helicopter tour of Long Beach & Palos Verde. Alex was suppose to give us a tour, but Nina was so nice to give us the tour instead. Between the two, there is over 20 years of flying experience.
I’m not going to lie, because it was my first helicopter flight and it was Friday the 13^th, I was a little nervous. But Nina is such a great pilot! I felt safe and the ride was so smooth. I didn’t feel motion sickness at all. And the views!!!
Nina was informed about what was going on in Long Beach and Palos Verde. The visibility was so great that we were able to see the Hollywood sign and the DTLA skyline. The timing was perfect as well! The sun was just setting as we landed.
I highly recommend going on a tour with Nina, or Alex, or whoever, really! They sincerely want to give the best experience ever and they do that with such ease. You should book a tour now!
