Amazing experience
- "We took the hour tour with the doors off, had the most amazing time! The weather was perfect, very calm and the perfect amount of clouds in the sky! Sunny one minute the next we were flying through clouds and rain! Conor was a great guide and very informative! Such a beautiful place! We got some great tips""WORTH.IT. Book for the first full day you are there, that will give you flexibility if weather demands flexibility. We did the 2.5 Hour tour with Pilot Josh and Ground Manager Wilson. They were amazing!!! I called twice before our trip and they called me several times during our stay (weather) and ALL of the team members I spoke with were SO nice. I thought this would be a once in a life-time treat, but we loved it so much, we would do it again given the opportunity. Enjoy! (Side note: I am 6'4" and had no problem in the front seat.) Our pictures don't do it justice. See the Rainbow pro shots on their website.""Such an amazing experience 10/10 would do it again""We had an amazing experience with Rainbow Helicopters! Unfortunately, the weather didn’t allow us to fly close to Kīlauea Volcano, but we still enjoyed absolutely breathtaking views of Hawaii. Our pilot, Joshua, was very professional, friendly, and made us feel safe throughout the flight. A truly memorable experience and definitely worth the money. Highly recommended!""I can’t say enough of how excited and proud I was to have my own daughter Kiana be my pilot a couple of weeks ago.. for the second time! It was a most gorgeous day and she gave me and a couple of Korean passengers a marvelously fantastic, superbly narrated 45 minute tour that seriously went down in the books! Mahalo Kiana (and to all her amazing and wonderful workmates I enjoyed meeting) for such a blessed experience. I look forward to my 3 rd tour next I’m visiting Oahu ! ""What an amazing experience!!! From start to finish this tour was hands down one of the best experiences I have ever had! Malia was so happy, friendly, and made me feel safe. I went on an hour tour. Conor was my pilot. He was great! Loved that he explained everything clearly about what to expect and also fun facts about Oahu. Completely eye opening to see the island by birds eye view. Nothing like it! The water was breathtaking and the land was so green and lush. I highly recommend taking this tour. I also highly recommend touring with the doors open. I could really see everything with no obstruction. I truly felt safe and just enjoyed every moment. This experience will definitely be a memory I will always treasure."
Well worth it

Well worth the money Thank you""Es war ein tolles Erlebnis und sein Geld wert! Ida war eine top Pilotin jederzeit wieder! It was a fantastic experience and well worth the money! Ida was a top-notch pilot and I'd go again anytime!""Well worth the money our pilot was awesome and very knowledgeable about the island would highly recommend""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."

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""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.

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!"
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.”

- "Great staff overall""Przepiękny lot, Dobra prędkość i wysokość. Pilot super opowiada o miejscach nad którymi się leci. Niezapomniane widoki na wyspę i ocean. Polecam firmę""Best first helicopter flight experience. Sarah, the pilot, was fantastic. I was glad I contacted your company.""Thank you Conner, absolutly awesome""Captain Sarah gave us everything anybody might want to know about hot surfing, fishing, military facilities, Oahu history, where the best places are to buy a $65 million dollar house - and so much more. Definitely doors off - it's the most fun. We're very happy that we chose Rainbow helicopter tours.""Captain Sarah gave us everything anybody might want to know about hot surfing, fishing, military facilities, Oahu history, where the best places are to buy a $65 million dollar house - and so much more. Definitely doors off - it's the most fun. We had a very fun flight.""하와이로 신혼여행을 하신다면 다른 액티비티는 안 하시더라도, 헬리콥터 투어는 한번 해보세요! 꽤 비싸지만 살면서 헬리콥터 탈일이 언제 있겠어요. Door off로 하와이을 45분 간 날았는데 정말 푸른별 지구라는게 와닿습니다. 안전장치가 있어서 그런지 패러세일링보다 덜 무서웠고, 정말 특별한 경험이었어요. Rainbow Helicopters Oahu""The weather was uncooperative but our pilot Ben made sure we got the most out of our trip. Felt safe and entertained. We strongly recommend. Thanks Ben all who helped make our trip memorable.""Your service and Dan (the pilot) were fantastic. Every member of the team were very professional. The experience was better than any roller coaster ride. I had a great time and highly recommend the open door flight.""Jojo was a great pilot and was very nice and professional. My wife and I will definitely do this tour again."
Path to Pali Passage
30 minute Oahu helicopter tour from Honolulu. Fly over Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona Memorial, and deep into the Nu'uanu Pali cliffs. A dramatic Honolulu helicopter tour with inland route through Oahu's lush Ko'olau Mountains.
Departure: Oahu, Honolulu
- "It was awesome""Absolutely incredible experience. Flying through the Nuʻuanu Pali cliffs and along Oahu’s windward coastline was unreal. The views of Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, and the Koʻolau Mountains from the helicopter were breathtaking, and the doors-off option made it even more exciting. Easily one of the best Oahu helicopter tours we’ve ever done.""Loved it! When you only have limited time, this is the very best way to see it all. It was spectacular. I made a mistake when booking, but customer service was fantastic and got us on a helicopter. Fabulous!""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!"
