Unforgettable views of Hollywood, Griffith, and downtown. Smooth ride, friendly pilot, quiet Cirrus—Los Angeles honestly looked brand-new from this perspective.
Easy booking, comfy seats, gentle turns, and sunset coastline views. Perfect date night—relaxing, smooth, and surprisingly quiet in the Cirrus.
We saw the Getty, Dodger Stadium, and Santa Monica Pier in one glide. Clear narration, great headsets, and a polished experience from parking to touchdown.
From Van Nuys departure to the soft landing, everything felt professional. The parachute added confidence, and the glass cockpit made the city sparkle after dusk.
Birthday surprise success! Our pilot adjusted for light clouds, offered thoughtful photo tips, and timed the Hollywood Sign pass perfectly. No rushing, just steady sightseeing, big smiles, and memories we’ll share for years to come.
On the fence? Go for it. The Cirrus is comfortable, quiet, and modern, and Los Angeles at golden hour feels like floating through a living postcard—calm air, crystal headsets, effortless magic from start to finish.
