      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.

      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.

      Beautiful day over a big Bear Lake.

      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.

      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.

      A helicopter tour was a first for us and we are really pleased with the tour as well as the views and the pictures. Helicopter Big Bear was a great choice of a tour company, the people were friendly and helpful and the experience was really enjoyable.

      Definitely enjoyed my 20-min ride, and Javan was an exceptional tour guide and pilot, I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who dares to be different and take a chance to see beautiful scenery while riding high in a helicopter over the mountains.

      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!

      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.
