Amazing experience
- "My family and I went on a tour with Rainbow and chose the doors off experience. This was by far my favorite part of the trip. The views were absolutely beautiful around the entirety of the island. We had Lucien as our pilot and he was amazing as well! He was very knowledgeable when it came to the history of the island and the sites we seen as well as made us all feel comfortable throughout the duration of the flight. I believe that this tour is a must when visiting the islands and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!""My sister and I took our 89-year-old Mother on this trip. The staff was amazing assisting her in and out of the helicopter. We did doors open. We would highly recommend everyone doing this. My Mom did get a little cool with wind blowing even with her raincoat on. On the other side, I was just fine but glad I had my raincoat as it was windy. Our flight was at 5 pm. Beautiful scenery. We loved seeing the mountains on the island from above. This will be an experience we cherish doing with our Mom. Pilot, Ida was wonderful and provided interesting facts all the way. We didn't talk with her much during the flight as we were so involved in viewing. Thanks from the Evans Family""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!""Best way to see the whole island! I did a 45 minute flight. I saw the whole island which is amazing as I am not likely to see it all whilst here on my trip. The doors off experience was fabulous. Our pilot was knowledgeable and kind.""Money well spent…… IT WAS AMAZING…. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD…. WOW…. 5 PLUS STARS….""This was our first helicopter flight and it was absolutely amazing. We felt very safe with the preparation team and Joel as a Pilot and he gave us a great overview about the island. Great experience and highly recommend!"
Well worth it
- "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.""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.""Awesome tour! Worth the money!"
We loved it
- "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 :-)""Our pilot was amazing.. 20 stars.. for he/ and the staff!!!will recommend.. everything just flowed so well and easy.. with everyone and everything.. we loved it!!!!..""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!!!"
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.”

- "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!""My family and I went on a tour with Rainbow and chose the doors off experience. This was by far my favorite part of the trip. The views were absolutely beautiful around the entirety of the island. We had Lucien as our pilot and he was amazing as well! He was very knowledgeable when it came to the history of the island and the sites we seen as well as made us all feel comfortable throughout the duration of the flight.

We recommend Rainbow helicopters.""Great experience, staff that check us in and our pilot Joey, gave us great customer service and pilot Joey was very knowledgeable and gave us a little history of the island. I do recommend the Rainbow helicopters.""Best way to see the whole island! I did a 45 minute flight. I saw the whole island which is amazing as I am not likely to see it all whilst here on my trip.

- "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 may have been my confusion, but I Thought our flight was supposed to be my in-land (to see some waterfalls that can't be seen from roads or hiking in?), but our flight just went on the outskirts of the island. I wasn't sure if this was due to the fact that the weather was not as great that day or just my misunderstanding. However, we still really enjoyed our flight and did get to see some areas we had not seen from the ground. Our pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable, and all other staff were very friendly as well. Overall, a great experience.""The tour was breathtaking! The pilot was so informative and not only showed us the island safely, he gave us so much knowledge on what we were seeing. This was the best tour of my life!!"

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.""Our pilot, Tobias was great. I was nervous starting out but had a great time.""The ride was awesome!! I kept my door off which was a bit scary being it was my first time in a helicopter but I’m so glad I did because it made the experience that much cooler! Our pilot was so informative and kind.
