This the shortest, best way to see all the main sites of Los Angeles while beating traffic!
Leaving Long Beach, you will immediately head west, beating the 405 traffic and head over to the Manhattan Beach Pier, whereby you will turn Northbound along the Shoreline and skim along the waves through LAX up to the famous Venice Beach. Upon reaching the iconic Santa Monica pier you will head inland over Beverly Hills, UCLA and Hollywood before cruising by the timeless Hollywood Sign and Griffith Park Observatory. Then you will head over the Dodgers Stadium and Downtown LA, marveling at the height of the US Bank building, the tallest on the West coast, before heading back to Long Beach.

I took my fiancé on the helicopter ride as a birthday surprise and she loved it! We flew by our house, and seeing the beaches at manhattan, playa vista, marina del rey, venice and up to santa monica pier was amazing! When passing by LAX airport the helicopter had to go quite low to the water, so you have an amazing view of the beaches and of people surfing and swimming in the water - really cool.
