- "Great experience all around! They called and asked if they could push us back an hour due to the airport being really busy and we agreed because it wasn’t an inconvenience to us. Our tour was smooth and Patch was really cool and knowledgeable. We did all doors off and it’s definitely an experience worth doing. My 8 year old daughter was so relaxed she wanted to nap while we were up in the air. Once we arrived back we were interested in purchasing our pictures and they notified us that because we agreed to push our departure time out they would be gifting us our pictures. It was a pleasant surprise and really made us feel appreciated. We will definitely book another tour the next time we’re out in Hawaii!""awesome experience my husband Danny & myself booked a private charter, loved the whole experience. Jennifer & Danny Woods"

- "Our guide Joey did an amazing job explaining the sights during our 1-hour tour at the same time driving the helicopter smoothly. It was our first time experience with the kids and I would highly recommend Rainbow helicopters""We arrived early, were quickly processed, and put on a flight almost an hour early. We didn't book a private flight but were upgraded to private when we arrived, which was lovely and much appreciated. Julian was our pilot and he was fantastic! Very friendly, funny, and knowledgeable of the island. We did a doors off tour and it was great. It was really cool to see the island from so high up. They warn you it's windy but it was still so much windier than we expected, especially for anyone in the back seats. I had to hold my headset on the whole time to keep it from blowing off because it wouldn't tighten enough to stay put with the strong winds. Overall it was a great experience and we'd recommend everyone take this tour. It's immediately become one of our favorite experiences in Hawaii to date!"
