"What an amazing flight! Conor was an excellent pilot and narrator. Great personality. This is the way to see Oahu! We can’t recommend this open door helicopter ride enough."

"Once we were in the air, the tour was amazing! Nikki was a great pilot, the views were stunning and it was so cool to see everything from above.
Arriving an hour early seemed really unnecessary, as we spent more than 40 minutes just sitting in the lobby with kids getting bored and annoyed, but the actual trip was worth it."

"I was born and raised on Oahu 9 years before Hawaii became a State and returned to Hawaii for a short vacation. I wanted to see how the island changed. Sarah was our pilot and her knowledge of the island and how she shared this knowledge during our flight was amazing and made a huge impact on me as we saw the island through the eyes of me from 76 years ago and the eyes of Sarah today. I will always remember this flight.
We took the hour flight with the doors off and the experience was amazing and one I’d recommend. Pilot Sarah will make you feel safe as she explains everything about the flying experience. The ground staff was very welcoming and kind to us.
This was a lifetime experience I hope to repeat again. Mahalo and much Aloha Sarah and Rainbow helicopters"

"Fantastic experience from start to finish. Excellent explanation and safety advice from ground crew. Nikki, our pilot, was amazing - educational, funny and kind - trifeta! - along with being an excellent pilot (with serious onshore winds prevailing). Highly recommend this experience to see the beautiful and historic sites of Hawai'i!"

"I wasn’t sure how the tour would be as there were ample clouds and spotty rain showers. The tour turned out to be mind blowing - several rainbows, dramatic clouds, and breaks of sun that made the blue water seem like a painting. Our pilot, Sarah, was a joy and super informative. I would do this tour again! 10 out of 10!!!"

"I had a fantastic experience!! I recently got into aviation and the helicopter tour has been on my list ever since. Compared a few companies and decided to go with Rainbow Helicopters for my first experience - and so glad I did 🙂 Am a solo traveler so I called them the day before to confirm my spot, and they accommodated my request for a window seat on a doors-off tour. The ground staff were all very nice and patient, provided all the equipment we needed. The pilot, Ben, is amazing too - he took the time to explain landmarks and features that we were flying over, the weather conditions (we flew through sun, clouds, and rain, and it was awesome), and answered our questions very well. I also can't complain about seeing some really cool planes on our final descent back to the airport 🙂 Would absolutely recommend (and I will do it again next time I come to Oahu!)"

"Our group of 6 took the hour long Royal tour with pilot Nikki.
We had the doors off experience. Our interaction with the staff prior to the flight was very good. They were attentive and informative.
Nikki was THE BEST. She was very informative and took the time to check on everyone during the trip and that both right and left side guests were able to experience the key views of the tour. We recommend Rainbow Helicopters tours for anyone interested in the experience."

"We had an incredible experience with Nikki at Rainbow Helicopters. Our group of six—including our granddaughters, ages 5 and 8—took the hour-long doors-off tour, and it was absolutely amazing. Seeing the landscape from the air is a completely different perspective. From hidden waterfalls to the waves along the North Shore, we were smiling the entire time. Thank you, Nikki, for such a memorable adventure!"

We did doors off and while it was a cloudy dreary day, we still were so impressed with the beauty of the island. We will definitely use them again if given the chance.

"We chose to have the doors off and it was fantastic. The day was partly cloudy which gave many rainbows. The pilot was very good in showing us the different sites and was able to answer any question as we flew along. I highly recommend this tour company as they are very professional. I am not sure if this is how it is on all the flights but we had a later flight 3:00pm (with dusk at 6:30pm) which made the ride very smooth."

"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"

"First time doing a helicopter ride and it was the best experience ever! The staff members were very helpful the moment we checked in. I had a misunderstanding when I booked the reservation about having the doors off during the helicopter ride, but that checked us in was able to accommodate us and we were able to get on with the doors off. The manager was also helpful by approving the last minute change. Honestly, everyone was just very helpful from the moment we checked in, going over the safety measures, the pilot, and the guy who took pictures of us! We would recommend rainbow helicopters to our peers and would use them again for future flights."

"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

(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"

"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."
