The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay to Launch Drone Academy Experience
Taking advantage of the resort’s picturesque coastal backdrop, this interactive master class offers guests the unique opportunity to learn how to fly and operate drones, capture aerial photography and video content, and take home tangible memories of the iconic coastal resort.

The Drone Academy begins at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay with an informational workshop led by Lumoid, followed by a hands-on drone flight and aerial photography session at the nearby Pelican Point Beach – one of the few locations in the surrounding area where drone use is permitted. With top-of-the-line technology – including DJI Phantom 4, DJI Mavic Pro, and DJI Phantom 4 Pro drones – and expert guidance from Lumoid, guests will learn how to photograph the best angles of the resort and California coast. From the property’s stunning Ocean Terrace overlooking the Pacific Ocean, to the Sunset Bagpiper post by the adjacent championship golf course, and more, guests have endless opportunities to capture their own, curated Half Moon Bay experience through their own lens while simultaneously learning a new skill.

The Drone Academy at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay includes:

  • 90-minute guided class including drones and supplementary equipment

  • Complimentary online delivery of photos and videos within 10 business days after the class

  • Memory card and card reader to take home
