    Awesome Way to Explore Catalina Island!! The flights to and from the island were tons of fun! The trip lasts about 15 minutes and definitely helps extend the time on island for a day trip, as opposed to taking the much slower ferry. Two thumbs up!!!

    Great service, got to the island in 15 mins, not too expensive. Just make sure you’re not over 240 lbs, we saw a guy get turned away because he was literally “overweight”

    Utilizing IEC Helicopters is the best way to travel to Catalina Island and back to the main land, as well as the fastest way. Experienced, friendly drivers, beautiful views of the ocean and island, depending on season you may see some whales and the drivers will turn around for you to take a closer look as well as take photos and give you a brief history of the island.
