My son and I had an amazing experience with Specialized Helicopters in Hayward! We want to give a huge thank you to our pilot, Jake. He was incredibly patient and helpful with my son, who has special needs, and made sure he was comfortable getting into the helicopter.
The flight took us over the San Francisco Bay and into San Francisco. Jake even altered the route so my son could get the best possible views of landmarks like Alcatraz, Coit Tower, Pier 39, and the Salesforce Tower. The skies were clear and it was just a perfect day. Thank you, Jake, for creating such a wonderful moment for us!

We loved our helicopter tour of the Bay. Brittaney was amazing, kind, and knowledgeable. This was my first-ever helicopter experience, and now I am hooked.

We did the Big Sur tour with Jake and loved it! The entire trip felt safe, professional, and personalized. I’m an Army attack helicopter pilot with a commercial rating. I was super impressed with Jake and the whole Specialized Helicopters team.

Excellent tour. Our pilot's name is Mark. He did a great job. He let my son with Down Syndrome sit next to him as "co-pilot." He took his time showing us the Bay and his favorite sights. I think we flew around 800 ft above sea level. So we had great views without being far away. Great flight over Golden Gate bridge. By far our best helicopter flight tour (our 3rd one). Highly recommend it.
