Superrr cool and fun 😎 - Took my fiancé on a private air tour, she was my girlfriend at the time but i asked her to marry me mid flight over the ocean, over looking the coast line. It was perfect. We saw dolphins swimming in the ocean, Crystal clear lagoons, and beautiful beaches. Our tour guide and pilot Wesley was super cool and very knowledgeable of the whole area we flew over. Ended up with some amazing videos/pictures and memories for me and my new fiancée to share. 10 out 10 would recommend and would absolutely do it again

Excellent time - 100% recommend!!! Safety was their #1 concern and a close second was providing an outstanding experience worth every dollar for my son and I. Super friendly, beautiful tour, and we even got to see a huge pod of a hundred dolphins from an angle I’ve never seen. I booked on a whim the day of, and glad I did. Total recommend.

Unforgettable Experience!!! - I had the absolute best experience with Bruce on my private plane tour around Southern California. From the moment we took off, I felt completely safe, informed, and inspired. Bruce wasn’t just a pilot—he was a wealth of knowledge and made the entire flight feel like both an adventure and a masterclass. He shared so much insight about the plane, the flight path, and how flying actually works that by the time we landed, I was seriously considering getting my own pilot’s license. That’s how impactful this flight was—he lit a spark in me I didn’t even know was there. This wasn’t just a scenic ride—it was personal, exhilarating, and deeply empowering. If you’re even thinking about doing a private plane tour, don’t hesitate. Book it. And maybe, like me, you’ll walk away not just with beautiful memories—but a whole new dream to chase. Thank you, Bruce. You changed the game for me. ✈️✨

Fabulous flight, gorgeous views - Fabulous flight with JoyAir. Wes, our pilot, is experienced, knowledgeable, efficient, and fun. He explained what the major sites were around us and pointed out areas we weren't familiar with and would've otherwise missed. I appreciated that he took photos at the beginning, especially as I was with my son whom I rarely get to spend time with. The photos are now special memories. Wes also has a great sense of humor. Oh, and we even saw a whale from the air! I highly recommend JoyAir.

Greatr experience and aerial tour of North and South County. - This was a Great sight seeing tour and great small plane experience for my 16 year old son who is interested in becoming a pilot. My son sat in the copilots seat and our pilot Bruce made the trip an educational experience both by sharing his knowledge of the plane and being a pilot as well some of the sights we saw during the tour.

You must try a tour! - Loved our tour! I was a little nervous because I get motion sickness pretty easily. But our son gave us the tour for Christmas, so I was determined to go. I took 1 Dramamine just in case. Thankfully, our pilot Wes flew so smoothly I was able to enjoy the entire tour. We loved seeing South OC by air. Wes even flew us over our house! We saw our park, our kid's schools, and other places we knew well. The coastal views were beautiful and the whole time Wes did a great job of identifying places including all the beaches along the coast. When we landed, I barely felt it. I highly recommend a tour by Joy Air Tours.

A Great Day, a Great Experience - Took my 9 year old Grandson on his 1st small plane flying experience. He truly enjoyed the experience. The smooth flight and the spectacular views are what amazed him the most. But the excellent tour guide/pilot made it perfect. My Grandson sat up front and was asking questions constantly about various sights, which were always addressed quickly by our pilot. My Grandson’s only complaint was the minor popping in his ears during the descent. But he said the same thing when we come down from the mountains, so obviously not a Joy Air problem. From my perspective, the sights were also grand. Lots of memories from over 50 years living and driving around So. Cal. Amazing changes all around. It was a fantastic day. Bert D.
