About this tour

See Los Angeles from a fresh perspective on a 35-minute helicopter flight above the California coast and canyons. From the air, the city’s beaches, mountains, and sprawling neighborhoods unfold in one sweeping panorama.

Your route takes you above Topanga Canyon and along Pacific Coast Highway, with views of Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, Malibu, and Pacific Palisades. Look toward the Santa Monica Mountains and Hollywood Hills as you soar over the Southern California landscape. This private Los Angeles Coast and Canyons Helicopter Tour is a memorable way to take in the region’s varied scenery, with an English-speaking live guide.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 10 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Los Angeles
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.6. Top 23% in Los Angeles means it ranks in the top 23% of tours in Los Angeles by this score.
