I am afraid of heights... - I am afraid of heights and get motion sickness but did this for my husband. It was a great experience. Our pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly. The flight was calm so no issues. Views were great. Would recommend.

Absolutely amazing experience! - This was a wonderful experience! I booked 2 private flights (for 4 adults) over 2 days and everyone lived it! Booking through Wes was seamless and he answered all of our questions. We flew with Bruce, who was amazing. The flight was smooth and the views were spectacular - we saw so much, from beautiful beaches to gorgeous homes to pods of dolphins. I loved it so much that I gifted 2 additional flights for the next day.

Private Arial Tour of Orange County Coast with Joy Air - SPECTACULAR!! - For my birthday, my wife surprised me with a private plane tour of the Orange County coast with Joy Air. The experience was spectacular! From the moment we took off, I knew this was going to be an experience like no other. The tour started with a smooth takeoff from the OC airport, and as we climbed into the sky, the breathtaking views of the coastline unfolded below us. The sparkling Pacific Ocean, the iconic Newport Beach, and the stunning cliffs of Laguna Beach were all sights to behold. The clarity from the air was remarkable, allowing us to get a great view and take awesome pics of our house in Dana Point Our pilot, Caiden, was not only incredibly skilled but also a fantastic guide. He pointed out landmarks, shared fascinating tidbits about the history and geography of the area, and even tailored the tour to include a few extra passes over the places we were particularly interested in. His professionalism and friendliness made the experience even more enjoyable. The private aspect of the tour made it feel incredibly special and personalized. There was no rushing or crowding—just a relaxed, romantic experience that allowed us to take in the beauty of Orange County at our own pace. In summary, this private plane tour with Joy Air was worth every penny, especially since it was a present. It's an experience that provides a unique perspective of the stunning Orange County coast, making it ideal for special occasions or simply treating yourself to something extraordinary. I can't recommend it highly enough!

A very HALCYON hour. - Wesley was an excellent pilot & tour guide! I took the Orange County Deluxe Hour Tour: Anaheim Hills, Irvine, Downtown Long Beach, Newport Beach, San Clemente, Laguna Hills/Beach, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach. Tremendously safe! I recommend taking this safe tour!

Prepare for a smooth ride of panoramic views! - After! a couple reschedules to ensure the best experience the flight was well worth the wait. This was a surprise for my Wife's Birthday and she was overwhelmed with excitement. We opted for a full tour on a Sunny SoCal Sunday. Access to the airport was a breeze. Bruce met us outside the guard shack, we checked-in moments later. Gave us a quick rundown of the Cesna, complementary water, headset function verification, seatbelts and we were taxiing with private jets and commercial airliners. The views were spectacular, the plane was smooth the entire time (take-off, cloud surfing and landing), no turbulence. As a local resident it was great seeing some of our favorite costal locations from above and learning of other fun facts such as the first Ruby's Dinner and Mission Basilica in San Juan Capistrano. Would certainly tour again, highly recommended

The BEST Experience! - Incredible experience from top to bottom! My son is Autistic and has a deep love of aviation. This was a surprise gift for his thirteenth birthday. Our pilot met us right on time and realized quickly that my son LOVES planes and he was equally excited to talk to him about them! He answered all of his questions and engaged with him throughout the entire flight. He went out of his way to teach my son all about the plane, the airport, the air traffic control, etc. He even had him participate in the preflight checklist! The flight itself was simply magical. You can tell when someone loves what they do, and that was incredibly true for our pilot (I'm very upset I don't remember his name but his son is the owner of the company). This was an experience that my son (and I) will never forget. It further encouraged his love of aviation and truly made his dreams come true. Thank you, Joy Air!

Absolutely amazing - My sisters and I went from lazily sitting on the beach to exhilaratingly flying over it in just an hour. We booked our super last-minute tour with Wesley and Pilot Bruce who made it happen for us! I can't find enough words to express how breathtakingly beautiful and amazing our aerial tour was. Not only did we have a thrilling flight but pilot Bruce also did a flyaround where we spread the ashes of our beloved step mom. It means more than anyone could ever imagine or understand!

Pure Joy! - A birthday surprise! Admittedly felt a little trepidation as it became clear we were going up! That dissipated immediately upon meeting Wes - he’s so so capable & charismatic. We had phenomenal weather and the views of the world below from high in the sky are like no other. It’s the gift I never knew I wanted and is now easily the most amazingly magical and memorable!

Totally worth it! - I was looking for a gift to give to my fiancee and when I found this it felt just right. He loves understanding location and direction. Getting a birds eye view of OC was absolutely awesome. Our pilot (Andrew) was so chill he felt like a friend and he was confident in his ability making us feel safe. Great pilot. Our views were stunning and it helped us feel more connected to OC. Totally worth it and highly recommend!

Say it's a cesna on the website - The experience was a great one and my mom enjoyed it BUT I found your website while doing a search for helicopter rides. It wasn't clear that this ride was on a cesna. We did enjoy the experience but I was disappointed that I didn't buy a ride on a helicopter
