Best experience
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Such an amazing experience! We did the doors-off helicopter tour and it was definitely one of the highlights of our Hawaii trip. My husband and son went up on one flight, and then my daughter and I went on the next. We all absolutely loved it!
Flying doors-off made the experience even more incredible, the views of Oahu were breathtaking and it was such a fun way to experience the island together as a family, even on separate flights. The staff made us feel comfortable and safe from start to finish. This is one of those memories we’ll be talking about for years. 100% recommend!

Honolulu Helicopter tours is the best!
We book the 18 min and were lucky to be able to expand to a 30 min. Much better as it takes 10 min. to get comfortable for first timers.
