This historical getaway combines beautiful coves, turquoise waters, inaccessible beaches, and spectacular wildlife that only can be appreciated from the unique elevated vantage point of our helicopter. Our pilot will provide you with a fully narrated tour on the culture, history, and myths of Catalina, as you gaze down on many of the sights described.
