A private helicopter ride
None found
Worth every penny
  1. "We booked this mainly for Pearl Harbor and it did not disappoint. The moment you come over the harbor and see the memorials from above is something I’ll never forget. The pilot pointed everything out clearly, and the route over Honolulu, Waikiki Beach, and Diamond Head made it feel like a full island experience even in 20 minutes. If you’re looking for a Honolulu helicopter tour that includes Pearl Harbor, this is absolutely worth it."
