Embark on a helicopter tour from Avalon to discover Catalina’s untouched beauty. Soar over Catalina Bay, spot wildlife, and witness iconic landmarks including Middle Ranch and El Rancho Escondido.

 

EXPERIENCE:

Depart from Pebbly Beach in Avalon for a helicopter tour of the mostly untouched natural beauty of the 22-mile-long Santa Catalina Island featuring a rugged interior and cliffs rising from the ocean.

Begin your journey over Avalon, a vibrant centerpiece to Catalina Island brimming with rich history. This picturesque harbor town offers charming streets lined with quaint boutiques and eateries. Fly past the Catalina Casino, Descanso Beach Club, and Hamilton Cove.

Look for buffalo roaming the hills, soaring eagles, or dolphins on the coastline as you catch glimpses of the beautiful beaches and secluded coves including Bird Rock, Empire Landing, and Isthmus Cove.

Journey past Two Harbors, a small village where the island is only a quarter-mile wide. Fly over the Airport in the Sky and historical landmarks including Middle Ranch and El Rancho Escondido, a hillside vineyard that once served as the Wrigley family’s Arabian Horse Ranch.

Conclude your adventure by passing the Wrigley Memorial, the Botanic Garden, the historic Catalina Island Golf Course, and the island’s highest peak, Mount Orizaba, as you descend past Catalina Bay one last time.
