Honolulu Zoo is home to Komodo dragons and wandering peacocks, while parrotfish and urchins inhabit Waikiki Aquarium’s reef exhibit
Diamond Head is a volcanic tuff cone on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu and known to Hawaiians as Lēʻahi. The Hawaiian name is most likely derived from lae plus ʻahi because the shape of the ridgeline resembles the shape of a tuna's dorsal fin

Didn’t get to do this because it was bad weather canceled and we still had to pay 120.00 out of pocket for the taxi trip
This was the best bucket list for my 50th birthday ever. Been to Hawaii many times and this is a must do! Great way to see the island without all the traffic! We had the best pilot, Stefan, who made the ride amazing and fun. Ashley, the coordinator, was friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel at ease before taking off. Definitely read the instructions when booking this trip. They make it easy to arrive and understand the process of the experience. Very professional! Oh.. and bring a jacket for sure!
A great flight on a small 4 seater helicopter. The pilot was very personable and knowledgeable. I recommend flying with the doors off as we did.
This helicopter tour with Honolulu Heli was absolutely incredible! From takeoff to landing, everything felt smooth, safe, and exciting. Our pilot Scott was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable for both adults and kids. The views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the coastline were breathtaking. The photos they took turned out great and were delivered promptly. It was a highlight of our Hawaii trip and we’ll be recommending this to all our friends visiting Oahu. Don’t miss this amazing adventure!
Scott was very knowledgeable about the island and it's history and was able to give us amazing views and photos for us to remember our honeymoon with. If we ever come back out we are absolutely going to go up for another ride!
Aloha and thank you for joining us on our 30 minute flight! Congratulations to you and we wish you the best. We'd love for you to come back and try the 60 minute tour.

It's fantastic to know that our professionalism stood out to you. We appreciate your recommendation and are thrilled you had such a positive experience.

Stefan was awesome. I took my 12 & 9 year old children for a ride. He was very professional and patient. When the option to take the doors off came, the kids couldn’t get the doors off fast enough. Safety was the number one concern and Stefan made us feel very safe the entire trip. I highly recommend a helicopter tour of Hawaii as it will get away from the buzz of the masses and let you truly enjoy the beauty of the island. Honolulu Heli was certainly the right choice for us! Thank you for an awesome time!!!

We couldn't agree more that a helicopter tour offers a unique escape from the crowds and provides a perspective on Hawaii's beauty that's hard to match from the ground.
