  3. "It was really amazing. If you want to see gorgeous views and a large chunk of the island this is the way to do it. They were safe and seemed to be really knowledgeable about flying helicopters. Nikki our pilot was fantastic and provided great tips for our stay and also custom tailored the flight to hit areas of interest and picture spots. My wife and I also found it great that a female pilot was doing this in a traditionally male dominated field. Thanks, we loved our experience!"

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.”

  3. "신혼여행때 한 액티비티 중 가장 고가였지만 남자친구가 하고싶어해서 겁쟁이 용기냈습니다ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 45분정도 투어했는데 군사지역인 한국에서는 하기 어려운 경험이라 특별했고 저는 겁이 많아서 파일럿 옆에서 닫힌 문에서 탔는데 용기있으신 분은 문짝 떼고 고글 쓰고 바람 다 맞고 구경하시더라구요! 긴팔 긴바지 입었고 멀미약 먹고 갔더니 괜찮았는데 저 겁이 많아서 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 남자친구가 찍어온 영상으로 구경했어요 ㅋㅋㅋ (Translated by Google) It was the most expensive activity during our honeymoon But my boyfriend wanted to do it so I mustered up my courage lol We toured for about 45 minutes and it was a special experience because it was hard to do in Korea, which is a military area I was scared so I rode next to the pilot with the door closed But those who were brave enough took off the door, put on goggles, and watched while feeling the wind! I wore long sleeves and long pants and took motion sickness medicine and it was fine, but I was scared ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I watched it through a video my boyfriend took lol"
