See every stunning sight on Oahu from the white sands of Waikiki to the epic big waves of Norh Shore on our incredible 60-minute circle island tour. Get spectacular views from a guaranteed window seat of Diamond Head, Haunama Bay, the Ko'olau Mountains, Ka'a'awa Valley, Sacred Falls, Dole Plantation, and the USS Arizona Memorial.
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.
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.

Kyle our pilot very knowledgeable. Made the experience pleasurable. Was nervous had never been in a helicopter
Rainbow Helicopters were safe & efficient offering door open or door closed options. We chose doors closed. Our pilot was Corey, who was friendly and knew his stuff of the island. An hours trip was long enough to see all the fabulous sites, greenery of the island, the coral reef and Pearl Harbor. Expensive, but once in a lifetime for some.
It was an amazing experience!!! Seeing the views from the top are amazing, highly recommend this tour. Staff are very friendly.
Awesome way to see the entire beautiful island of Oahu. Pilot Matt and co-pilot Tobias were fantastic, sharing so much history and background of the sights
Our pilot was Tobias. He was really knowledgeable and a super nice. Highly recommend flying with the Royal Crown of Oahu!
This was such a fun experience! My husband and I always talked about doing a circle island helicopter ride. The views are spectacular! My only suggestion would be if it’s windy to keep the doors on. We went on a windy day and had the doors off and wished we kept the doors on so we could better enjoy the ride. I definitely recommend Rainbow Helicopters.
