ヘリコプターによる移動：ロングビーチからカタリナ島へ

I was not gonna make to my flight. I went to wrong address. And I know if I lose my flight I have to pay again and sometimes there are full and there’s no availability taste an hour later. I got a call from companies saying that they have available place if I would like to take it using my payment that I already make that was amazing. I was so sad at first and then they make my day.

Maverick Helicopters is absolutely the best! Most pilots are retired military pilots and with this experience, I am always completely at ease. They take your safety first and explain all you need to know. This was our fifth tour and all have been excellent! On today’s round trip, our pilot was Dave. He is retired from the Marine Corp. I was immediately at ease with him at the controls and enjoyed the trip. You cannot find a better helicopter service!

Very easy to book a flight. Very friendly and professional crew members. Pilot interaction with everyone on the flight was excellent. Would highly recommend this experience thank you to Maverick helicopters.

We were so lucky to have a handsome interpreter there, and he was very kind to us.

Living in Southern California for twenty years and wanting to go to Catalina Island all the while, I chose the fastest route. Our pilot took me and five other guests to Avalon in eighteen minutes. We even spotted a pod of dolphins. Smooth ride and reasonably priced ($100 more than Catalina flyer for roundtrip). Large windows, moonroof and floor windows gave a panoramic view while flying like a movie star. Twenty minute walk, picturesque to downtown or pre-arrange a golf-cart transfer. Free overnight parking at Maverick private parking lot.

It was not as scary as I thought. It was nice to do this with my family. Super easy to arrive, park and set up.

We have flown multiple times before when it was IEX. We flew round trip from Long Beach to Catalina Island and it was great. But Maverick has since taken over the company. While trying to book online I did come across a generic line item for "fees" that was almost $300 for 4 passengers. This was not the FET tax just a separate line item. I reached out to an online agent but she didn't seem to understand what I was asking. She kept telling me the passenger seat cost varied depending on demand and day. Totally understand but that was not what I was asking. I think we went back and forth with her repeating the same information for about 5 minutes before I literally listed out line by line all the costs. This was very frustrating. Finally she was able to say that this was an island fee and there was some sort of California fee. This was all I wanted to know. I tried to explain that customers want to know what these fees are, especially when it is almost $300 extra in addition to your total costs and that they should include that info (the same way airlines do). She basically told me that I don't have to make the purchase if I don't want to. What? So anyway if you book and you want to know what the fees are they are basically island fees.

Amazing experience from the team and pilot taking care of us. We had such a great trip to Catalina. Our pilot spotted a pod of 100 dolphins and circled to allow us to see them.
