We wanted to experience a helicopter tour of the greater Orange County area during our recent trip to Irvine. We booked our flight with Anthelion Helicopter and had a great time. The helicopter accommodates up to three people but is absolutely perfect for just 2 as well. It is a private tour in essence. We departed the airport and toured over the city and towards the coastline. The ride was comfortable and we enjoyed the views. The total flight time was about 15 minutes and although it seems like a short period it was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend considering this tour for a great experience at a great time. There is some construction on Airflite road which led to a little confusion using GPS on maps to find the correct location at the end of hangar row but we eventually found it (it’s the entrance just after Royal Electric). Good luck and have fun!
