I highly recommend this experience it was the best tour we have ever had, Josh our pilot was very professional and knowledgeable about the island. We viewed a waterfall only accessible by air. The flight was stable and smooth we had both doors on in front and off in back it's great either way not cold at all We will definitely do it again Mahalo Rainbow helicopters

Amazing flight with JoJo. So beautiful and informative! The doors off is for sure the way to go! We had never been in a helicopter and we were blown away with how smooth JoJo was able to make our ride!!!!
Best Ever
Kira_F, Apr 2024
This was our first time doing something like this and it was the Best. Gave us so much informations about the islands
Better than any other excursion!
Jayme_B, Apr 2024
We had the best time! Flying around the island was fabulous. You see the island so quickly and up close. Doors off is ALWAYS the way to go; incredible. We got so lucky and saw whales from the helicopter, even when we were unable to see them from a whale watching tour. This was our families favorite excursion, it even beat out swimming with the dolphins as we did both. Every age loved the tour from 7 to teens to 44.
Must do experience

Awesome experience

Excellent Tour - Doors Off
Andrea_H, Apr 2024
Michael was our pilot for the tour. He did an excellent job showing us all the landmarks and making sure we saw everything. I scheduled this tour as a surprise for my teenaged son (graduation gift). It delivered! We utilized the doors off option of the tour and sat on the ocean side of the helicopter. We didn't see as much of the city landscape but that was ok with us as we wanted to see the ocean views. If you really want to see the city landscape, you may have to ask to sit on the left side of the helicopter. Our tour was excellent! Thank you so much!
Absolutely an amazing...

Absolutely an amazing experience, thank you Joel for a top tier never forget experience. Much appreciated
A sight to see but bundle up!
Beeonca_B, Mar 2024
The pilot was very informative and showed us a great time on our ride! The island of Oahu was absolutely beautiful and I loved flying over Pearl Harbor and getting a close up of a waterfall! WARNING!!! It’s really windy so please make sure you bundle up. In addition, ladies tie your hair up tight and maybe even wear a scarf to hold it down. My lose strands were smacking me in the face and it made it hard to see. However, I loved this experience!
Disappointed
Mary_C, Mar 2024
The sites were beautiful! And the staff were friendly and helpful couldn’t have asked for better. But our pilot gave the impression he didn’t want to be at work that day.
Amazing experience
Ashley_L, Mar 2024
This is definitely something you want to do! Joel, our pilot was very knowledgeable about the island.
Glad I went!!
monica_s, Mar 2024
Im afraid of heights so I weary and I have to say I had zero fear. Our pilot was amazing and it was a smooth ride around the island…. Highly recommended!!
Amazing!
Ruth_S, Mar 2024
The helicopter ride around Oahu early in my vacation was the best way to view the landscape of the island! It gave me a great perspective of how Pearl Harbor was attacked prior to visiting the naval base. The pilot, Emma, provided lots of information and pointed out significant areas in Oahu. Excellent trip!
Great Experience!!!!
Kelis, Mar 2024
We had a great experience with Derrell. I took my daughter for her 16th birthday and she enjoyed herself we were able to great pics and learned alot about the island and got ideas and suggestions to do. I highly recommend this tour.
Tight seating
Rebecca_S, Mar 2024
Seating is very cramped. I literally had to sit sideways as the other party were a bigger couple. Pilot was great and informative. I never got cold as I was well insulated
A great flight
Scott_J, Mar 2024
The whole trip was amazing, and our pilot, Turner, did an excellent job! He explained so much about the island to us and showed us so many different sights!
Worth it
Gary_S, Mar 2024
Bring a jacket if you have doors off. Windy but fun if you like the rollercoaster wind vibe. Beautiful scenery and great staff.
AMAZING!!!
Lisa_W, Mar 2024

I highly recommend this tour
Richard_Q, Mar 2024
