RAINBOW HELICOPTER TOURS  •  OAHU, HAWAII

“Great experience! Definitely something to do. The hour long flight was just long enough and the pilot, Kyle, was knowledgeable and personable. Having the doors off is worth it for the unobstructed views and experience.”

JUAN CARLOS  •  OCT 2022

Amazing experience
  1. "A big shout out and amazing job well done to the folks at Rainbow Helicopters! My fiancé and I have recently experienced a tour around Oahu with the Romantic Proposal landing. The staff went to great length to go along with the surprise proposal and helped ensure no hints or spoilers occurred. The collaboration and communication between the staff and I was excellent, as well as the amazing tour. My fiancé and I were able to see the various points of interests including the sacred falls, coastal shores and Mountain views. Our pilot and guide Kyle, did an excellent job and so did our photographer Mark. I highly recommend both of them as well as choosing Rainbow Helicopters for your Oahu tours. I experienced everything I expected, including the awesome landing at the private mountain side of Kuoala Ranch. It was such a smooth magnificent journey."

  2. "I highly recommend this tour. The ride was truly breathtaking. Our Pilot Kyle was amazing and was very knowledgeable of the island."
    Shay Steen • May 2023
  3. "We had the most amazing experience. The first booking we had, we were able to take off in the helicopter, but we were unable to do the entire Pali route due to weather. I was so sad, then the staff turned it around and made sure that we got the full experience, offered to reschedule us, and were the kindest people. These employees are amazing!!! I can't remember the name of the girl who helped us reschedule and took care of us, I think it was Kamalani, but she was the SWEETEST! Rainbow Helicopters truly took care of us and we had the most amazing experience because they also upgraded our second trip!!! BEST HELICOPTER COMPANY EVER, BEST EMPLOYEES ♥️ -jacob & shelby"

    Zac • Apr 2023
  2. "My wife and I have been living on island for 2 1/2 years which made this experience even more amazing. The helicopter tour was fun and the sights were breathtaking. We saw all of the places we know and love from a new perspective. This helicopter tour was definitely worth the money."
    Jeff • Jul 2022
  3. "This helicopter tour was an amazing experience. You will get to see parts of the island you are unable to see driving around the island. My pilot Riley was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made us feel safe and was a great pilot. Highly recommend doing the tour. Worth the money."
    Sarah Fahrney • Apr 2022
  4. "Absolutely incredible! had to wait a little bit due to the weather, which is expected being on an island. The views were magnificent and the pilot "Carson" was excellent we had open door, what I would fully recommend if you're not scared of heights. service was great and well worth the money, we did the 45-minute tour, which was plenty of time. Mahalo!!!"
    Dean pevey • Mar 2022
  5. "Wonderful time! It was definitely worth the money. Getting to see the island in a way like no other. I would highly recommend taking the time to do this if you get the chance! The staff was also amazing!"

We loved it
  1. "AWESOME!!! Amazing views and fantastic information about the island. Staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient. My husband and I took a private doors off tour, with Tony as our pilot. My husband doesn't tolerate heights well, but felt safe and enjoyed the tour!! I love heights and LOVED it!!!"
    Janet Romero • Apr 2023
  2. "Awesome experience, start to finish 5++ stars!! Staff were wonderfully informative and friendly, yet conveyed the required safety info clearly and professionally! Always felt they had it together, at every moment. I work as an aviation maintenance tech at a major airport. I know how a good ground crew can make or break an operation, and these people just plain nailed it. Really GREAT team ! Now on to the RIDE ! Captain of our Ship was Kyle. I cannot possibly say enough positive things about his skill, personality, professionalism and obvious passion and dedication to his craft. A true artist (without the quirks, lol). I can honestly say the only thing wrong was I wish we had the whole evening. Kyle checked every possible box. Rainbows, waterfalls, whales!! He was super knowledgeable about the island (I wish we would have done the tour FIRST!). We had a slightly ‘airsick’ passenger. As such, Kyle accommodated her condition, whilst not watering down the experience for the rest of us. Bravo, Captain! Doors off is absolutely the way to go! I was on the outboard right side, and completely loved it. I’d go every day with Kyle, though I’m sure the rest of the pilot group is of similar caliber talent ( but request Kyle if you can - he’s that good - makes it seem ridiculously easy. And I know it is not!). Am I satisfied? Completely. Would I recommend Rainbow? Without hesitation. Enjoy your adventure- we certainly did!!! And a special final thanks to Kyle - I will never forget that flight !"

  3. "This was a wonderful experience! We did the hour long doors off tour and loved it. The whole team was great and our pilot JoJo was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!"
    ALLISON DART • Feb 2023
  4. "We had Kyle as a pilot and he was great and narrated the whole flight. We all were impressed with Kyle!! The only thing is we booked a doors off and last minute we were told one door had to be closed. If it was for safety reasonings based on guest weight we would understand but we weren't given a reason. Other than that, we loved it and I would definitely don't again!"
    Christine • Jan 2023
  5. "Gorgeous! Easygoing pilot made me feel very comfortable. Kids (5 & 8) loved it, too. I'd say this is a must-do!"
    Meredith Reed • Aug 2021
  6. "Very courteous and accommodating staff. First helicopter ride ever and was very informative with unique views. My grands loved it very much."

Rainbow Helicopters Make a Wish flight
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.”

    Jolene • May 2023
  4. "Such a cool experience. I live on the island so it was really neat to see everything from above. The views are stunning, and our pilot entertained us with facts but it wasn't overbearing commentary. I wish there was a way to book my seat ahead of time because the customer by the door took social media videos the entire time, so I had to crane my neck back and forth to see the views. Also, the flight video wasn't worth it for me. I thought the camera would've been set up outside the helicopter, but it was more like a dashboard cam. Overall, fantastic!! I plan on doing this again!"
    Jessica • May 2023

  10. "We did a private, Royal Crown of Oahu, doors off tour. It was worth every penny. There are no words to describe this experience, JUST DO IT! It was by far the best excursion we've ever booked while on any vacation. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and efficient while prepping everyone to takeoff on time. Our pilot was Alex and he was amazing. He was very informative and knowledgeable of the entire island. He flew us over everything Oahu has to offer. To say the views are beautiful and breathtaking is an understatement. I literally cried... more than once. Lol. Simply gorgeous and incredible. We highly recommend doing a private doors off tour. One, you don't have to share the experience with anyone but your group and two, you get to sit next to the door with absolutely nothing blocking your view. Omg! I can go on and on. 100000% the best! We're in Oahu for a week. Flew in on a Friday afternoon and did this first thing Saturday morning. The best decision ever! We've been driving around visiting all the places we saw from the sky. We're actually considering doing it again before we leave. This time with no cameras or gopros so we can just sit back and enjoy the views. Definitely going to request Alex for our pilot if possible. You will not regret this experience, Rainbow Tours is the best!"
