Full description
Hop aboard a helicopter and admire Oahu’s landmarks on a guided flight tour from Honolulu. See the Waikiki skyline from above, fly past Diamond Head, and round the volcanic cliffs to Makapu’u Lighthouse. Choose a private or shared tour, with your choice of an on-or-off door experience. Make your way to the local partner’s helipad to begin your experience. Ascend above the city and follow the Windward Coast, with breathtaking views of the Ko’olau Mountains in the distance. Listen to your guide's live tour commentary. Pass Lanikai Beach and see its gorgeous coral formations. Cruise over Kaneohe Bay and discover why this place is regarded as one of the most scenic locations on Earth. Glide past the “Chinaman’s Hat” off the east coast of Oahu. See the Ka’a’awa Valley—the historic home of the island’s kings. Plus, take in views of the lush rainforest surrounding the Sacred Falls. Continue onto the North Shore to spot surfers at the Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay. Loop back to Honolulu and get a glimpse of the pineapple-tastic Dole Plantation. Finally, pass over the iconic Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial, before returning to the helipad.

It was perfect. My door was open. My son’s door had to remain closed because he was too young. It would have been easier to take pictures with closed doors because of the air stream, still it was an awesome experience! Our pilot told us a lot about Oahu, we felt very safe

A must! We would do it again. It was sensational. Our pilot Kyle did the impossible to show us everything in detail. We did it on a helicopter with no doors, which made the trip even better. It was wonderful. It was super worth it!!

The flight was simply fantastic. The reception and safety instructions took place in rooms that I know from premium lounges at the airport. That was already a very good start. I had chosen a flight with no doors so I could easily take photos. Toni, our pilot, was very personable and a very good tour guide. He not only showed us the well-known sights, but also his favorite places and good restaurants. In his explanations he always clearly highlighted what makes each place so special. He flew us close to rock faces and over the ravines and reefs. I never expected to see so much in one sightseeing flight. This tour is a unique experience.
