60 Minute San Diego Helicopter Tour

Experience the very best of San Diego on this comprehensive 60-minute helicopter tour, combining our Downtown and North County Coastal routes into one unforgettable flight.

Departing from Gillespie Field, we begin by heading north over Sycamore Canyon with views of MCAS Miramar—home of the original Top Gun. From there, we continue over the rolling hills and luxury estates of Rancho Santa Fe before turning west toward the Pacific coastline.

Following the shoreline south from Solana Beach, you’ll take in spectacular coastal views including Fletcher Cove, Del Mar Racetrack, Black’s Beach, La Jolla Shores, and the iconic La Jolla Cove.

As we continue south, we pass Crystal Pier before transitioning inland over Mission Bay, with views of SeaWorld San Diego and the downtown skyline ahead.

The tour then continues into San Diego Bay, where you’ll fly past the Naval Base San Diego and over the iconic Coronado Bridge, with Coronado Island on one side and the city skyline on the other. Highlights include the historic USS Midway Museum, San Diego International Airport, Harbor Island, Shelter Island, Naval Air Station North Island, and the historic Old Point Loma Lighthouse.

We finish with a scenic pass by the legendary Hotel del Coronado and the Navy SEALs BUD/S training area before returning to Gillespie Field.

This is the ultimate San Diego experience—coastline, city, and landmarks all in one incredible flight.
