Waikiki's white-sand beaches are not Oahu's only amazing attractions. No trip is complete without seeing Oahu's iconic mountain peaks. This 30 minute helicopter tour offers views of Diamond Head, the three peaks of Mt. Olomana, and Nu'uanu Pali. Along the way, you will also see the emerald waters of Haunama Bay, the lighthouse at Makapu'u Point and Pearl Harbor.
Your helicopter sightseeing experience begins over the island’s South Shore so you can see the Honolulu skyline and Diamond Head crater in a way not possible from the beach.
Hanauma Bay’s sheltered waters and incredible coral reefs pass below you as you soar among the nearby cliffs and volcanic outcroppings – the remnants of the island’s volcanic birth.

Rounding Makapu’u Point, you follow the Windward Coast and its long stretches of white sand beaches and turquoise waters as they lead you towards the gorgeous mountains beyond.
Turning inward you pass the three sharp peaks of famous Mt. Olomana, characteristic of its English translation, “divided hill.”
The lush tropical vegetation of the Nu’uanu Valley masks a secret: Oahu was born from fire.
A breathtaking passage through the Nu’uanu Pali cliffs and the lush rainforests that lie within leads you back to the Leeward side of the island and Pearl Harbor.
The flight ends with a pass over the USS Arizona Memorial and a new appreciation of Oahu's volcanic origins and its spectacular terrain.

I myself am someone that'd you may call a scaredy cat when it comes to heights and falling, but for some reason, my partner and I were compelled to be our most adventurous selves, which required me to shelve my fears and get on a helicopter. You can have the option to have the doors on or off, and Thank God! (because I kept that door on and held on for most of the ride to make sure it stayed on.) My partner opted for the doors off-version, and instantly regretted it as we were thousands of feet in the air and all he had was a common car seatbelt and a prayer to keep him secure during the flight. Our pilot, Austin, was very chill (a little too chill to settle my fears, but chill enough for me to know he knew what he was doing), and we had a nice conversation while exploring parts of the island in ways we'd never seen it before! I don't think I'll ever skydive in my life because I'd much rather explore the world on a 'copter. It was a bit windy but overall it was an amazing and truly exhilarating experience that's definitely going down as one of the most badass things I've ever done in my life!
Pilot was amazing. He was knowledgeable and made us comfortable. The exotic views were most desirable to say the least.
Our 1st helicopter ride ever and it was AMAZING! I've never been so awe struck, the views were incredible, the pilot was skilled and knowledgeable about the area. It was so smooth our 6 yr old fell asleep
Great guide and views. Knowledgeable pilot, who have great insight to what we were seeing and what to expect. Polite staff, overall great experience.

Fantastic customer service. Fantastic 30 min adventure. We did this for my 45th bday. Pilot was very knowledgeable about the island and explained all the sights. You will take lots of great pictures and video.
