Itinerary
You begin with the heights of the Waikiki skyline along the sultry sands of the most famous beach in the Pacific.
Oahu's crown, Diamond Head, pops into view presiding over the island known as The Gathering Place.
As you pass over the ridges of the Leeward coast, Hanauma Bay appears below and gentle beaches transform into rugged volcanic cliffs, carved over millennia by sun, surf, and rain.
You continue on this regal tour by flying over top of the charming Makapu’u lighthouse.
The island’s Windward Coast awaits where you will see the incredible Ko’olau mountains standing watch above Lanikai Beach – often called the most marvelous beach in the world – and the offshore sandbars and coral formations that make Kaneohe Bay one of the most picturesque places on Earth.
Fly past Mokoli'i Island, and view with awe the succulent Ka’a’awa Valley before you.
The pilot guides your helicopter into the pristine forest and jagged cliffs of the magnificent Ka'a'awa Valley. As the mountains approach, you fly in close to see the magnificent waters of Sacred Falls tumble over 1000 feet to the rainforest below.
Fly close to the dramatic cliffs of Sacred Falls, where water cascades over 1,000 feet into the rainforest below, revealing a hidden paradise carved by centuries of volcanic activity and tropical rains.
Check out the world famous North Shore where you can see the surfers challenge the waves at Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay.
You head back towards the airport with a passage over the mountains and the island's inland sea - Dole Plantation's "Pineapple Sea".
You complete the circle of Oahu by turning inland and passing over the beautiful pineapple maze at the Dole Plantation. This incredible tour doesn't end until you have completed a solemn pass over Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial.

Great tour of the island had a fantastic time with Gavin on our tour. He managed to answer pretty much every possible question by an 8yo guest in the back. Anyhow, he was very informative and entertaining as he guided us through the different airspace around the island. Pointing out lots of unique features and landmarks.
Wow! Talk about a breathtaking experience! Worth every penny. Michael, our pilot, was considerate of our daughter, informative, and kind. I would do this tour 1000 times over!
Absolutely loved this experience. I was in Honolulu for a short period of time and was limited to what I could do. This tour was an excellent way to see the island and it was simply breathtaking. I opted for doors off and it just enhanced the experience. Sarah our pilot was awesome, so knowledgeable and skilled with flying. Highly recommend this tour!
This is one of the best helicopter tours I’ve ever been on. They were very personable. Pilot was great and the views were phenomenal. I highly recommend this touring company.
Our 60 minute flight with Gavin as our pilot was such an amazing beginning to our Hawaiian vacation! We got stunning views of the coastline and city. Gavin was super informed and capable. The weather prevented us from doing the full planned trip but his expertise and cool, easy demeanor had our 60 minutes full. Loved the snippets of information and history without it feeling like it came from a ‘tour guide.’
The staff were so professional, very focused on safety. The pilot was clearly skilled and professional. And above all, the views were simply amazing! This was our favorite activity of all!
This great experience for seeing the island first hand and have great time riding on a helicopter, best time open door.
It was an excellent experience! I would definitely recommend it! Kiana was our helicopter pilot and she was great!
What an amazing experience! The helicopter and facilities are well maintained. The pilot was very knowledgeable and fun to ride with. 10/10
One of the best rides of our lifetime! Definitely something else off of out bucket list. Beautiful scenery and the pilot was awesome at explaining the whole island to us! Totally worth it!
