Amazing experience
- "During our absolutely AMAZING EXPERIENCE with Rainbow Helicopters over Kona Island, we felt like part of their family. The staff's warm and welcoming demeanor made us feel right at home, and their attention to detail and care for each one of us was truly exceptional. The views from the helicopter were breathtaking. We didn’t feel rushed at all. We were encouraged to ask questions. Our comfort and safety were the staffs main focus. The sense of camaraderie and hospitality among the team was palpable, adding an extra layer of comfort and enjoyment to the entire adventure. I am already planning my next trip back because I had such a fantastic time. Thank you, Rainbow Helicopters, for an unforgettable experience! We will return soon!!!""We arrived a little late due to an unforeseen flight delay , thankfully we were still allowed to take our ride it was so amazing with doors off and on top of that we were given extra time due to ride sharing which topped the great !experience! ! Turner the pilot did a great job and gave us a great experience so thank you Rainbow Helicopter for a great time and sorry we were late but thank you for understanding""What can I say? Amazing, stupendous, beautiful, etc. Best helicopter tour I have ever taken. All 3 of us were mesmerized by the views. Rainbow makes sure you enjoy your ride. Donavan, our pilot, had been a medi-vac pilot for years. He was knowledgeable and extremely interesting. We opted not to take the helicopter ride offered by our cruise ship. Rainbow's pricing was less for 90 minutes than the cruise ship's offer for 1 hour. 15-minute taxi ride from pier.""Had a fab 50th birthday! 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.""My mom and I had an amazing experience. We sat in front with the doors on, and the 4 guests in the back had their doors off. Our pilot was telling us what we were seeing and gave a lot of fun facts too. We saw so much! We even were able to spot a few humpback whales from the helicopter, which was incredible.""We had a schedule change last second and your team was able to reschedule for use. Thank you for an amazing memory, you guys are a step above the rest."
Well worth it

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.""What a fantastic way to see Honolulu! We had never been in a helicopter and opted for the doors off. It was breathtaking and fun! I never felt concerned regarding safety as you are briefed on everything and buckled in by staff. Our pilot Mike had been flying for many years and had a very calm demeanor that made us all feel we were in excellent hands. He gave a great tour with lots of information about all we were looking at. Worth the money. Highly recommend.""Really enjoyed the flight around Ohau, will worth the money. Would highly recommend. Staff are all welcoming."
We loved it
- "Excellent! I think I can say that for all four of us who went. Very informative. Our pilot explained a lot, as well as listen when we had a short story. Answered all our questions; very knowledgeable. We loved it!""Fantastic flight! Rainbow helicopters were fantastic. Welcoming, professional and our flight took us around the coast and into extraordinary valleys. Turner, our pilot, was knowledgeable and very friendly. The aircraft was very stable and enabled great views from every seat. We loved it! Highly recommended ""What a blast. Pilot made it very fun. 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. Also, being it was my first time in a helicopter, I was a little apprehensive, but the pilot gave me a flight to remember. My family and I loved it! Thank you. We’d recommend Rainbow Helicopters to everyone!""Hey guys this was an awesome tour. I loved it. 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.""One of the best hours spent in Oahu. Our pilot was very skilled & made us feel comfortable & at ease with the flying process. He was full of interesting info & history related to Oahu. Paradise helicopters were professional & friendly, this is a must do & is highly recommended . Great way to see the island , quite beautiful on a good day. If you can …go doors off Loved it :-)"
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.”

- "Excellent! I think I can say that for all four of us who went. Very informative. Our pilot explained a lot, as well as listen when we had a short story. Answered all our questions; very knowledgeable. We loved it!""Oh my goodness! It took us a week just to calm down. What......a......spectacular......way...to........see......this......island!!! Unreal views combined with great company, then, sprinkle in a little history, and we got ourselves a memory etched into the center of our minds. Its been over a week and we are still talking about how it almost seems like it didn't really happen. But then we have the footage to back it up so it must have. Seriously though, this is not a waste of money. This is something special. Make sure you wear the phone holder. Would have lost it for sure if it was not for that. Thanks so much Rainbow! We will be back.""Had a fab 50th birthday! My husband and I were on our trip with another couple with 6yr old.empty seat in the middle. Plenty of space.

From the time you arrive and the ground crew gives the orientation everybody was so nice. The pilot was very informative and took us for a smooth ride.""We recently had the pleasure of taking the Royal Crown of Oahu Helicopter Tour with Rainbow Helicopters, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our pilot, Lucien, was absolutely fantastic. Not only was he an incredibly skilled pilot, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the flight, but he was also very informative, sharing fascinating insights about the island’s history and landmarks. Note: We chose to fly with the doors off. Highly recommend that. The tour offered breathtaking views of Oahu, from the stunning coastline to the lush mountain ranges. Lucien’s narration really enhanced the experience, and we felt like we learned so much while taking in the natural beauty of the island. The whole experience was smooth, from the booking process to the tour itself. If you're visiting Oahu and want to see the island from a unique perspective, we highly recommend this helicopter tour! Lucien and the team at Rainbow Helicopters made it an experience we’ll never forget.""Wonderful ! My first time in a helicopter …Ida was an “ace flyer’! A beautiful way to really see the island ! Thank you for a most delightful ride!""Smooth process to check in, preview before ride was good, all employees were friendly and courteous. Our pilot was great open to questions, although we were quite group, felt safe and gave us good knowledge about the island. Would recommend to everyone, had a great experience.""We loved our ride. Ida our pilot knew her stuff and was very informative. Flying with the doors off was a bit room much in the back seats. The wind was very strong and shook my eyes making it hard to see""Our Hawaii vacation has been truly wonderful There is so much to do and see but the bed part of this vacation was the Rainbow Helicopter tour. Hawaii is even more beautiful from the air. Money well spent""This was definitely the highlight of my trip! We circled most of the island and then crossed over where the Dole plantation is located. It showed just how lush Oahu is in some places. It is also different to see the beaches from about. Our pilot, Emma was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend doing this tour!"

- "YA GIRL GOT ENGAGED ON ONE OF THESE HELI'S. We went on the 45 min tour with pilot Julian. Originally, we were going to be in the big shared helicopter but it was unavailable at our tour time. The staff ended up giving us a private tour in one of the smaller helicopters and it was awesome. Julian was so friendly and honestly treated us like old friends. He had cool facts to share and was very personable. I 10000% recommend. It was beyond beautiful and such a wild and cool way to see the island. I will say, we went on the 4pm tour which was super nice since the sunset was at 5:45pm. There was still a lot of light but not beating down. My videos came out great. I wore a sweatshirt and shorts with doors off and by the end of the 45 mins was a little chilly. It is December though so maybe during summer it's not as bad.. either way 100% do the doors off!""Awesome tour of Oahu from the sky. Our pilot Julian was super friendly and gave great commentary on the sights around the island. We even saw two huge Tiger sharks in the water as we flew by Waikīkī. I also proposed to my girlfriend on tour. Overall great time!""It was an awesome experience. The whole team and the pilot Lucien have been extremely friendly and helpful. The tour was great Lucien knew nearly every square inch of the island. Highly recommended""This is by far the coolest thing I have done in my 73 years. Lucien was fantastic. Great narration about the sights and very informative. If I had more time, I would do another helicopter ride. I cannot recommend Rainbow Helicopters enough. When in Hawaii, contact Rainbow Helicopters for a very exciting ride.""The highlight of our trip! The views were spectacular, our pilot Darrell was so great explaining everything we were seeing and making sure we all got great views. He made me feel very safe. Doors off are the way to go!""Tyler was our amazing pilot and tour guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about flying. Customer service with Jacqueline was outstanding. This was was not just an experience, it was an epic adventure ! Definitely worth it. Spend the time seeing Hawaii from the air ❤️""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!""Great experience. Pilot was excellent with the flying and tour commentary. Really fun with fantastic scenery.""Fill in your own adjectives. This checked every box of an amazing adventure. Our pilot, Freddy was fantastic! Touring Waikiki and other parts of Oahu from a helicopter is something you need to do! Well worth the experience. You won’t regret it."

- "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.""Had a 30 mins helicopter ride and couldn't recommend them enough.

Highly recommended.""I decided to book a tour with last minute but they were able to accommodate me. The staff at the office were nice and answered all my questions. Joel, the pilot, was nice and knew so much about the island. This is a can't miss opportunity on this island.""Couldn't ask for a better way to see Oahu. Tony our pilot was awesome and full of knowledge, also if you're a nervous flyer he gave you a heads up when there would be turbulence.""Everything was more than my granddaughter and I imagined. She was so excited for the doors off and I was for the co-pilot seat with doors on. The pilot gave us a lot of information and made it very entertaining."
