Helicopter Rides Flights Oahu that immerse you in the natural splendor of Hawaii.
- "Fantastic flight , excellent pilot who did his best for the conditions (cloudy) really enjoyed our flight as it was the highlight of our two week stay in Hawaii""Great service , very professional and accommodating, felt safe with this pilot and he gave a great sightseeing commentary"
- "Amazing!!! The views were breathtaking!!! Our pilot was great and made sure to point out all the hotshots for great photo opportunities!!!""This was my very first time in a helicopter. After I arrived in Hawaii (for a conference plus an extra two days for myself), I know I had to finally do this. After all, I grew up as a kid watching Magnum, P.I., and TC was one of my favorite characters on the show! As to the ride...yes, it is expensive (at least to me), but it IS WORTH IT. It was a fantastic experience to see Honolulu and the surrounding areas from above (as much as 2000 ft). The oceans and mountains are so beautiful. I was never once scared...just amazed, and amazed the whole time. My pilot Freddy was fantastic as well. Very freindly and personable. He asked me questions as well as answered mine. It was a true conversation on top of acting as a tour guide. I cannot recommend him enough. And...do the ride with the doors off. You will be glad that you did!"
- "Only regret was not doing it longer!""Had a 30 mins helicopter ride and couldn't recommend them enough. Extremely professional & polite staff, we also hired a photographer & didn't regret the decision as the pictures/videos turned out amazing. Also our inflight video was really good. Highly recommended."
