Alcatraz City Sites Helicopter Adventure
Overview
Soar over the legendary Alcatraz and Angel Island during our introductory helicopter tour! Great for travelers with robust agendas, or families and friends taking flight for the first time. Revel in stories of the famous Bay Islands as you take flight off the helipad in Mill Valley. Your pilot will navigate orbital views for guests while island-hopping over historic Alcatraz and Angel Island. Learn about the Escape from Alcatraz and see the buildings on this rocky outcropping from above. A flight pass offshore San Francisco before a smooth landing at Commodore Heliport in Marin completes the most unique way to see these iconic landmarks.
