Amazing... Good selection for a birthday adventure. Our ride was 20 minutes. I may do it again in the future for a longer ride. Our pilot, Cole, was informative and made the ride fun. read more

*UPDATE* Just to add to the below, one month after their below no-show my credit card company notified me that Big Bear Helicopter Tours is arguing the dispute. They are saying we never showed up and that they were there waiting for us. Again, we were at the location for 45 minutes (30minutes early) without any services. Don't put yourself through this same dishonesty, they are going to make this dispute process painful. read more

Such a great way to experience Big Bear from a bird's eye view! The helicopter feels brand new, and the pilot is very professional and focused to assure you have a great tour. You can book from 6 min to 45 min (on 5 min intervals). In a brief time, you can see the lakes, resorts, mountains, etc. Can't wait to share our experience with other visitors. Highly recommend. read more

We had an amazing 45 min ride. Roy was a great pilot and fun to chat with while he showed us around. Matt made the check in process smooth and easy. I would definitely recommend this crew to my family and friends. read more

Roy and his wife are fantastic. From the first phone call and arriving at Big Bear airport, to being brought out to the helicopter in the golf cart and Roy's expert flying skills, everything is TOP NOTCH. I've been up with Roy twice now and he always makes me feel very secure with his flying. He's also interested in chatting with you all the while pointing out stuff on the ground. Prices are very reasonable: $35=7 mins, $55=11 mins, $75=15 mins $95=20 mins $125=25 mins $150=30 mins $175=35 mins $200=40 mins $225=45 mins Sunset tour: $137.50 for 25 mins Going up in one of these birds is unforgettable. This is definitely one of the top 5 highlights to see/do when visiting Big Bear. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone that's town & looking for something pretty cool to do. read more

Been up to big bear at least four times in the last couple years but I've never really paid any attention to the helicopter tour advertisements, posted all over town. I guess I just always thought it would be way too much money. This time, while we were up here, I happen to be thumbing through the Big Bear guide book to the Valley at the hotel and came across the ad for these tours. Pricing was super reasonable, especially for a helicopter ride, which I would think is something on everyone's bucket list, or at least on mine anyway. We took the Kilo tour and even though it was a fantastic tour, for me and the kids, the best part was the takeoff and landing so if I were offering anyone advice on which tour to take, I'd suggest the Romeo. Once you're in the air, as you can imagine, you get a beautiful view of big Bear. The entire ride from takeoff to landing was super smooth. Cash is king up here so make sure you bring cash to get their excellent discount. The owner is the pilot and is a super experienced and a fantastic guy that really loves his job. I'm so glad that he decided to create this business so that folks like me can experience such a great activity. read more

I didn't like how Jennifer was rude to my best friend over the phone when she asked for an appointment. She had an attitude and it wasn't very helpful considering the fact that our stay at Big Bear wasn't very welcoming. Roy was a nice guy, very friendly and a pleasant pilot. The helicopter tour really made up for our stay up there. read more

One of the best things i've ever tried. If you're scared of heights, which I am, you totally forget your fear! The whole staff was very nice and pleasant, the pilot was nice made conversation. They were very great with Co-vid, they had the one person out of your group go in and pay, they had separated benches they also sanitized everything anyone touched. They did remind you that masks had to be worn which also very good, even in the text they sent for your reservation that you need a mask. I definitely recommend everyone to try this! read more

Me and my girlfriend rented a cabin for a few days just to get away. I decided to surprise her with a helicopter ride. She's never been in any type of aircraft so she, and also I were a bit nervous. The pilot was very reassuring, kind and was attentive to our nerves and explained everything and totally changed the mood to excitement. The view is beautiful and the ride is almost therapeutic and you're in awe the entire time. This is a great experience and the prices wont cost you an arm and a leg, extremely reasonable. 10/10 would do again! read more

My fiancé and I really enjoyed this helicopter tour. I was worried that it would feel choppy or bumpy but it didn't, it was pretty smooth. Also we upgraded from the Romeo tour, to the Juliet tour and it was worth it! We got to see so much more of big Bear in that extra time. The clouds were beautifully fluffy and the lake was so much bigger than we give it credit. I recommend that you call ahead and let them know you want to upgrade, the time goes by fast, so the more air time you get the better! This was something we wanted to check off our bucket list and it feels great. Also I suggest a go pro or just multiple phones out , we were so caught up in the moment (as it should be) that we didn't take as many pictures as we planned. Enjoy yourselves! read more

Helicopter Big Bear - 1st time taking this "ride" - Aerial Tours Near Me - Big Bear City, California

WOW!!! FANTASMIC!!! My first time in a helicopter and Roy, our pilot did not disappoint. I called three times to get information from Roy and Jennifer were friendly, wonderful, and willing to answer my questions and provide more information. It was quick & easy to make a reservation. Once we got to the airport, Jennifer streamlined the paperwork and prepared us for what would happen next. I appreciate her business like demeanor and attention to safety details. Clear, concise instructions to keep us safe. Our flight took place on a clear day in March and was glorious! Roy pointed out all the sights, answered questions about the city, the mountains, and lakes surrounding us. The helicopter is in great condition and very comfortable to sit in. I would definitely do it again!!! Can't say enough good things about this experience. read more

Roy - 10/10 pilot, professional, prompt Jen- informative, polite, positive This was definitely one of the coolest recreational adventures I've found myself on and I'm so stoked we got to have a private experience at an affordable and fair price! They even shuttle you from the front desk to the plane (blankets provided) and get you up in the air in literally no time at all. Jen & Roy are doing it right, I will certainly be back in the future. read more

It was FANTASTIC. My daughter enjoyed it so much she wants to take a longer tour next time. The pilot was great told us what were seeing. And eased my daughters fears for her first flight. The ground staff was very friendly and answered all of our questions and explained the safety procedure and helped us get in the helicopter. I love it. read more

Had an excellent time on the helicopter! Our pilot was great and the whole staff was very friendly and personable. Really enjoyed everything, and will definitely be flying again with them on our next trip to Big Bear! read more

WONDERFUL!! Our ride was worth every penny. The manager that got us ready was very nice and professional and our pilot, Colin, was so knowledgable about the area. We got pictures in front of the helicopter and Colin made sure we had time to video and take pictures while we were in the air. It's definitely worth the time and money to add this to your Big Bear trip, I would do it again for sure! read more

Roy and Matt are awesome. We had a wonderful experience with a smooth ride and beautiful views. We are definitely coming back.

I'll start by saying I'm not a huge fan of flying in anything but I was surprised by how comfortable I felt for the whole journey! Once we were up in the air I wasn't nervous at all and the view was absolutely amazing! Any time there was going to be even the slightest bit of bumpy air they let us know which helped just keep me even more at ease. You can tell that they've been doing this for a long time and definitely know what they're doing! Plus the prices weren't too bad either. Me and my husband plan on coming back eventually and going for an even longer ride next time! read more

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! I recommend this to everyone. Getting to fly over the lake and the beautiful mountains was an experience I will never forget. Jennifer up front was friendly, and informative about safety. Roy, the pilot, was experienced and friendly as well. He has over 21 years of flying experience, and he said he does more than 3,000 flights each year! My boyfriend and I did flight Delta (40 minutes) and it was breathtaking. Pricing is very good. I know they accept walk-ins, but we made an appointment ahead of time and I'm glad we did. They don't charge your card until you arrive, which is good if last minute stuff comes up. I highly recommend everyone give this a try next time they are up in Big Bear. They are open 365 days a year. Thank you Helicopter Big Bear for an amazing memory that I'll never forget! read more

I highly recommend you take the helicopter tour if you're ever in Big Bear. We've been wanting to go on the helicopter for years but we always put it off until a couple days ago. Everything from the moment I called to make a reservation to filling out the paperwork and getting the rules went so smooth. Jennifer was super nice and informative and I loved that she referred to us by our first name. Roy is a wonderful human being and a great pilot!! He gave us so much info while up in the air and he joined us in our convo so it wasn't weird or awkward. Smooth take off and smooth landing..loved every minute of it. Great prices too! Definitely recommend it and we will be back very soon! Thank you Roy & Jennifer! read more

This place is fantastic! We saw an add on a bus stop and we were more so curious for the pricing because we figured with a helicopter but it was so reasonably priced so i called and made an appointment right away when we got back to our hotel.

From check in til check out - the entire staff was friendly and accommodating. Our pilot Roy was hilarious and really love what he does. We can't thank this place and entire staff enough for making this experience a fun and memorable one! Thank you again! Highly recommended! read more

Came here yesterday with my family. Nobody had ever ridden in a helicopter before and I can't wait to go in one again because of this place. The pilot, Roy, was extremely friendly and informative. He didn't push anyone into doing longer flights than they were comfortable with. He made sure everyone was buckled in and went through basic safety precautions before takeoff. The ride was 15 minutes and went over the lake, mountains, and some foliage. Mesmerizing views and smooth flying. For what you pay, it was more than worth it. Highly recommended people give this place a try when they visit. read more

My wife has always talked about wanting to go on a helicopter ride, so I took her and a friend here so she could cross it off her bucket list (I would have gone up myself, but I feared that I would blow chunks on the pilot, Roy). Roy (who is also the owner) was friendly, and definitely seemed to enjoy his job. The wife and friend both enjoyed the flight, and said the scenery was great. They said the flight was also very smooth, so I probably would have kept my lunch down. From the pictures I saw, it looks like winter is the best time to go for scenery, so I might just have to do that. read more
