Your journey starts from the heliport in the city centre of San Francisco: with a helmet on your ears, you will always be in communication with the pilot which will tell you the different spots to observe from the sky.
To enjoy the trip in a pleasant way, a background music can be offered, which will help you relax and for those who would have apprehension in flight, it will make them more Zen so that this helicopter tower remains engraved in all memories.
Sensational landscapes
From the air, you will have all the leisure to observe as a person the wonderful sites that make up the city that are surnamed "Frisco" with its famous hills where the tram goes untiringly. From the village Sausalito passing through the long beaches along the Pacific Ocean, you will be able to discover the different neighbourhoods and communities of the city, namely Chinatown, Financial District or Fisherman’s Wharf but also Mission District, Pacific Heights and Presidio. As many universally known spots as you will have the opportunity to filming or taking pictures with incredible shots.

The strengths
This overview of San Francisco is a unique opportunity to discover a city completely original and not conventional, far from the tumult of badauds and tourists. It lasts on average between 25 and 30 minutes a total of nearly 90 km.
The overflight and the visit are entirely commented for a better understanding and visibility of the place. Comments are spontaneous and made by the pilot in person. You don’t have to worry about the terms since a shuttle picks you up at your hotel and takes you back immediately after landing at the heliport. For the matter of flying in itself, it is the opportunity to have a panoramic view of San Francisco and to note how it extends over tens of kilometers, losing to the west in the Pacific.
