For answers to commonly asked questions visit our FAQ

Q: Which is the best seat on a helicopter?

The front row seats are typically the most desirable because passengers can see out without having to peer over a fellow passenger. The front seats also offer more legroom than the back seats.

Q: What are the best times to take a helicopter tour?

Mornings and evenings work well because the sun isn’t directly overhead and won’t interfere with your pictures. Visibility is sometimes better in the morning than it is in the afternoon.

Q: What should I wear for a Hawaii helicopter ride?

Dress comfortably, like you would for any outdoor activity in Hawaii. However, if you choose a doors-off tour, your flight will be windy and cold so jackets and/or sweatshirts are required and long pants are recommended. Closed toed shoes are also required for doors-off tours. Hats are often not allowed on board your flight. Lastly, for anyone with long hair – a hair tie is recommended.

We had an absolutely incredible time on our open-door helicopter tour w/ Rainbow Helicopters! Our pilot, Turner, was wonderful - experienced and knowledgeable about the island. Nicole, the owner, and Jackie, the manager, along w/ the rest of the staff made us feel immediately at ease the moment we walked through the doors. They are beyond kind and gracious, operating more like a family than a business. 100/10 stars. Views of the island were gorgeous and the equipment we were offered was top notch. Everything brand new top to bottom. Couldn't have been a better experience. Thank you, Nicole, Jackie, Turner, and team!! Much love and mahalo to you all!
