Amazing experience
- "The trip was absolute amazing. The staff on the ground (Wilson) made sure everything was great and safe. Our pilot (Jeff) did an amazing job and the view was breathtaking. It was the best part of our week on the island and would highly recommend it. Rainbow was outstanding and will use them again the next time we come.""Amazing time! We did our best to see the erupting volcano but the weather didn’t cooperate unfortunately. The rest of the tour was amazing as well!""⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Our experience with Rainbow Helicopters was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel welcome and comfortable. A special thank you to Wilson, whose attention to detail and incredible coordination ensured everything went perfectly from start to finish. The flight itself was breathtaking — from the Kohala Coast to the volcanoes and waterfalls, every moment was unforgettable. What made it even more special was sharing this experience with my grandparents, and Wilson went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible views and memories. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and I highly recommend Rainbow Helicopters to anyone visiting the Big Island. Exceptional service, stunning views, and lasting memories — it doesn’t get better than this! ✨""The views were amazing and our pilot Ida was very informative in pointing out sites and answering questions""Julian was an amazing host and pilot. Knowledgeable, easy going but still professional. We enjoyed the tour and was blessed by great weather. Recommend highly!""Our helicopter tour was amazing. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a great pilot. We loved hearing all the facts and history behind all the areas we were flying over. We would 100% recommend Rainbow to anyone. Thanks for a memorable part of our Hawaii vacation."

My husband and I were on our trip with another couple with 6yr old.empty seat in the middle. Plenty of space. I had door off seat and whilst I was initially anxious ,I enjoyed the thrilling ride and Ida was our pilot for our trip. She was an amazing pilot.Very knowledgeable and we both felt really safe in the air.It was a great experience with the doors off and well worth the money as we researched other companies beforehand.""Absolutely stellar experience from start to finish. We had a very special moment in the air and our pilot was amazing. Was well worth the money and what a memory!""The flight is definitely worth the money! I had an incredible, unique experience I won't forget. We saw waterfalls, banana and pineapple plantations, a rainbow over the mountains and the beautiful beginning of the sunset. Also, the Rainbow Helicopters team including our pilot, who told us lots of stories about O'ahu, were awesome. I absolutely recommend this to everyone!""Fantastic trip! So pleased we did the full hour flight. Excellent and efficient service by Rainbow. The pilot gave informative commentary among the way. Well worth the money for such an amazing holiday experience."

He didn't do any crazy maneuvers and was super safe. We did doors off and loved it...even at 2500 feet.""Our tour around Oahu by air described our Hawaiian vacation beautifully.

It was windy somewhat but the pilot was an awesoem pilot he kept it nice and smooth for us Def would recommend this helicopter tour to anyone out there. They give very detailed information about the island while on the tour."
Make A Wish
“Thank you all for a better than expected experience for Maddie, Derek and I. We are here on a Make A Wish trip. The helicopter tour was our gift to her since Make A Wish doesn’t allow helicopter rides for insurance reasons. She is a Stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma survivor. She was diagnosed late February 2021 and went through 6 cycles of chemotherapy. She completed her treatment in July of 2021. She wants to go to college and become a Marine Biologist so what better way to to see the most spectacular ocean views but in Hawaii. We have only been here in Honolulu a few days and have seen the most majestic views. Josh entertained us with his knowledge of the island and surpassed all expectations with our sunset tour.”

- "Decided to do a last minute helicopter tour on our last day in Oahu and so glad we did. Staff was friendly and walked us through getting flight ready. They recommended doors off and that was absolutely the way to go. Our pilot Nikki was great and made our flight comfortable and enjoyable. The views were spectacular. Highly recommend if you want a fun activity with unforgettable views.""First time doing a helicopter ride and it was the best experience ever! The staff members were very helpful the moment we checked in. I had a misunderstanding when I booked the reservation about having the doors off during the helicopter ride, but that checked us in was able to accommodate us and we were able to get on with the doors off. The manager was also helpful by approving the last minute change. Honestly, everyone was just very helpful from the moment we checked in, going over the safety measures, the pilot, and the guy who took pictures of us! We would recommend rainbow helicopters to our peers and would use them again for future flights.""It was awesome! Staff was knowledgeable, we felt at ease from the time we arrived. It was an easy process and nothing felt rushed. Our pilot was knowledgeable and explained where we were showing highlight of the coast and answered all questions we had. It was an excellent way to end our vacation in Hawaii!""Very welcoming and professional team. Julian, super pilot, and very involved in the animation of his flight, information, explanations of the places flown over. Meeting feeling, very consistent price.

- "Rainbow Helicopter was beautiful. The experience was professional while personal and pleasant , the Staff , from office to ramp , and into the helicopter , where we met the pilot , Gavin , staying on top of any needs or concerns. My wife and I are physically challenged , being of a certain age , and helpful staff got us situated with cheerful Aloha Spirit. Gavin was professional , handled the little R44 like a champ , safety first , while keeping up a tour guide level of local knowledge. We like Gavin ! Highly recommend this business !""The Path of the Pali Passage isn’t just an Oahu helicopter ride — it’s a journey through time and terrain, told through clouds and cliffs. The moment we lifted off from Honolulu, the world shifted. The city fell away and the raw, untouched beauty of the Koʻolau Range took over. From above, the mountains aren’t just hills — they’re sleeping dragons, rippling with green, ancient and alive.""I’ve done sunset cruises, zipline adventures, even skydived once — but nothing compares to the sheer awe I felt during the Path of the Pali Passage tour with Rainbow Helicopters. From the moment we lifted off, I felt like I was stepping into a dream. The city of Honolulu faded below us, and suddenly we were soaring alongside the majestic Koʻolau Mountains, their razor-sharp ridgelines glowing emerald green beneath golden sunlight. The pilot was both hilarious and deeply knowledgeable — like having a National Geographic narrator with a sense of humor guiding us through paradise.""Rainbow Helicopters was first-class from start to finish: professional, safety-conscious, and deeply respectful of the land. You can tell they love Hawaiʻi, and they make you fall in love with it too.""This was booked for my husband and daughter. They were both nervous but Lucien made them completely comfortable. They said the flight was smooth, enjoyable, fantastic views, and even got local insider info. They would do it again. My kid couldn’t stop smiling afterwards.""Amazing experience. Emma was the best!""Thanks to Joey & Rainbow Helicopters we had a wonderful, exhilarating trip. The doors off was the way to go! My husband even spotted a sea turtle! Thank you!""Amazing doors off experience with a great pilot and guide! Definitely a bucket list item to check off in hawaii!""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."
