You’ll be soaking in the majestic beauty of the South Shore, quickly realizing its natural authority over “The Gathering Place”.

A tender descent from the heavens presents a unique opportunity to witness from the ground the magnificent sights you’ve viewed from the sky. After a gentle landing, your pilot becomes your “Aloha Maitre’d”, escorting you to a private pavilion perfectly situated in a 4000-acre paradise with lush, green landscapes, mountains that stretch to the clouds and gentle trade winds that reach from the nearby windward coast.
There, you’ll enjoy freshly made wraps, cheeses and local Waialua Estate chocolates, made with rare, pure Hawaiian cacao, grown on Oahu in the rich volcanic soil of the North Shore. Paired with a champagne toast and flower leis, this is the ultimate dream Oahu picnic date you won’t soon forget.
After your peaceful stay on sacred Hawaiian land, it’s time to join the breeze as your private helicopter whisks you back up to the sky, hugging the Windward coast and cruising up to Oahu’s famed North Shore, bringing you up-close aerial views of the surfers at Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay.
Heading inland, you’ll fly over the “The Pineapple Sea” of the Dole Plantation and do a memorable slow-pass over Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial to conclude your luxury picnic private helicopter Oahu tour visitors love of the royal skies and amazing vistas of Hawaii’s crowned jewel.

AMAZING! The one word that sums it up! The Rainbow staff were super friendly and made sure we had a wonderful experience. Our pilot was absolutely amazing, he pointed out everything and shared so much history about Oahu. This experience was worth every penny – we would definitely recommend this experience to everyone we know.

We had a wonderful crew with Josh and Daniel! Treated us like royalty, very informative during the flight and made some modifications during the trip in order to get our entire event secured for the evening. Low clouds were prevalent due to upcoming storm but after waiting 10 or so minutes, our entire evening was completed without a hitch.

Ay Nayra –
My fiancé surprised me with a helicopter tour from Rainbow Helicopters after our engagement, and it was truly the most memorable experience! Soaring above, the views were absolutely spectacular. Seeing iconic landmarks and hidden gems from the sky gave us a new perspective and appreciation for its beauty. Rainbow Helicopters provided exceptional service, and the “doors off” option made it even more thrilling, allowing for unobstructed panoramic views and incredible photos. The pilot was knowledgeable and shared interesting insights. It was the perfect way to celebrate our engagement and create a lasting memory. I highly recommend Rainbow Helicopters for a unique and unforgettable adventure!
