Two options available :
Los Angeles: Scenic Flight Over City Landmarks only
and
Los Angeles: Scenic Flight Over City Landmarks & Coastline
SkyView Tours offers a completely private scenic flight over Los Angeles, departing from Van Nuys Airport in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. From the moment you arrive, this experience is yours alone. There are no other passengers, no shared commentary, and no compromise. Your pilot is entirely focused on you.
Your aircraft is the Cirrus SR20 - one of the most technologically advanced single-engine aircraft ever built, and the only touring aeroplane in Los Angeles equipped with the whole-airframe Parachute System. This parachute, deployed in the rare event of an emergency, is a safety capability that no helicopter tour operator in Los Angeles can offer. You fly with the confidence that comes from flying in the most thoughtfully engineered aircraft in its class.
In 45 minutes of flight time - longer than the vast majority of aerial tours available in Los Angeles at this price - your pilot will take you over five of the city's most iconic landmarks. You will see the Hollywood Sign perched dramatically in the Santa Monica Mountains, impossibly large up close. You will glide past Griffith Observatory, the art deco jewel that has watched over Los Angeles since 1935. You will fly over Universal Studios, where the backlots and soundstages of a century of cinema unfold beneath you. Dodger Stadium will appear in perfect geometry below ,and then the City centre Los Angeles skyline- the glass towers of Bunker Hill rising from a city that never quite looks real from the ground, and looks almost surreal from the sky.
If you book the Coastal option, you will have an additional 15 mins of air time, experience all of the above and the amazing LA coast , Santa Monica and hopefully the best subset views.
Every seat in the Cirrus SR20 is a window seat. The aircraft's panoramic canopy and large side windows are engineered for visibility. Your pilot provides commentary throughout, pointing out landmarks, sharing the stories behind what you are seeing, and adjusting the turns to give you the best possible views on the day.
This is the ideal experience for couples celebrating a special occasion, travellers who want to see Los Angeles the way almost no one does, and anyone for whom an ordinary tour simply will not do.
