Get ready to experience this stunning Oahu helicopter tour with Rainbow Helicopters. Your adventure begins with expansive views of the Waikiki skyline, which rests on the sugary sands of the esteemed Pacific surf beach. Look up to new heights, and you’ll see Diamond Head’s tiara, sometimes jeweled with rainbows, reigning over the South Shore and exercising its natural authority over The Gathering Place.
As you round the million-dollar ridges, you’ll pass Hanauma Bay, where gentle, sandy beaches turn into jagged volcanic cliffs carved out by the relentless surge of the rough waters below. For Hawaii waterfall tours, this is just the beginning of the magical sights you’ll see on this Royal Hawaiian tour.
Glide over the charming Makapu’u lighthouse and watch as her radiant red beam reaches out to unknown ships at sea. Continue your tour up the island’s Windward Coast, and you’ll see the storied Ko’olau mountains in the distance, quietly watching as you pass over Lanikai Beach, often called the most marvelous beach in the world.
Offshore, sandbars and coral formations make Kaneohe Bay one of the most picturesque places on Earth. This Kaneohe Bay helicopter tour is an excellent opportunity to see Waikiki Beach, also known as the sunset beach.
Passing Chinaman’s Hat, you’ll watch in awe as the majestic Ka’a’awa Valley unfolds before you. As the mountains approach, you’ll pull in close to see the impressive streams of Sacred Falls tumble into the lush rainforest below.
Your Oahu helicopter adventure will take you along the coast of the famed North Shore for a North Shore adventure helicopter tour. Hold on tight as you get up-close aerial views of the surfers at Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay.
Heading inland, you’ll fly over the Dole Pineapple Plantation, also known as “The Pineapple Sea,” for a Dole Plantation helicopter tour. Finally, take a memorable slow-pass helicopter ride over Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial to conclude your tour of the royal skies and amazing vistas of Hawaii’s crown jewel.

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.
“First flight and great experience! Very professional. They take care of you from passing the entrance of the office till the very end of the tour. I recommend for sure and will do it again next time in Oahu.”

Excellent! I think I can say that for all four of us who went. Very informative. Our pilot explained a lot, as well as listen when we had a short story. Answered all our questions; very knowledgeable. We loved it!
Oh my goodness! It took us a week just to calm down. What......a......spectacular......way...to........see......this......island!!! Unreal views combined with great company, then, sprinkle in a little history, and we got ourselves a memory etched into the center of our minds. Its been over a week and we are still talking about how it almost seems like it didn't really happen. But then we have the footage to back it up so it must have. Seriously though, this is not a waste of money. This is something special. Make sure you wear the phone holder. Would have lost it for sure if it was not for that. Thanks so much Rainbow! We will be back.
Had a fab 50th birthday! My husband and I were on our trip with another couple with 6yr old.empty seat in the middle. Plenty of space. I had door off seat and whilst I was initially anxious ,I enjoyed the thrilling ride and Ida was our pilot for our trip.
She was an amazing pilot.Very knowledgeable and we both felt really safe in the air.It was a great experience with the doors off and well worth the money as we researched other companies beforehand.
One word says it all.....spectacular. From the time you arrive and the ground crew gives the orientation everybody was so nice. The pilot was very informative and took us for a smooth ride.
We recently had the pleasure of taking the Royal Crown of Oahu Helicopter Tour with Rainbow Helicopters, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our pilot, Lucien, was absolutely fantastic. Not only was he an incredibly skilled pilot, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the flight, but he was also very informative, sharing fascinating insights about the island’s history and landmarks. Note: We chose to fly with the doors off. Highly recommend that.
The tour offered breathtaking views of Oahu, from the stunning coastline to the lush mountain ranges. Lucien’s narration really enhanced the experience, and we felt like we learned so much while taking in the natural beauty of the island. The whole experience was smooth, from the booking process to the tour itself.
If you're visiting Oahu and want to see the island from a unique perspective, we highly recommend this helicopter tour! Lucien and the team at Rainbow Helicopters made it an experience we’ll never forget.
Wonderful ! My first time in a helicopter …Ida was an “ace flyer’! A beautiful way to really see the island ! Thank you for a most delightful ride!
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. 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
Every employee was very friendly and seemed to love their job. The pilot was informative and answered all questions.
It was a wonderful experience. Great customer service and a very knowledgeable pilot (Joey). 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. The doors off experience was fabulous. Our pilot was knowledgeable and kind.
An incredible way to see Oahu!
I wish I had done this as soon as I arrived because you get a really good understanding of the island and where everything is.
Our pilot Josh did a wonderful job at explaining all the different sights and was great at giving us a heads up whenever there was turbulence (only happened twice and very briefly). I generally get motion sickness when I travel but Josh was very smooth with take off and landing.
I highly recommend the experience! You’ll never forget it.
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!
Fantastic flight , excellent pilot who did his best for the conditions (cloudy) really enjoyed our flight as it was the highlight of our two week stay in Hawaii

Great service , very professional and accommodating, felt safe with this pilot and he gave a great sightseeing commentary
It was really great experience with perfect pilot updating us what we see. Really great experience
The views were spectacular, the pilot really knew the sights, and was funny as well. First copter ride, but hopefully not our last.
Had the most amazing time! Was the highlight of our entire trip! From the pilot Ida to all the staff at the base, they made the entire experience unforgettable! Cant wait to come back!
What a way to see oahu , Darrell our pilot doubled as an amazing tour guide!!!
Amazing experience with equally wonderful staff. We’ve taken several helicopter tours and this one was by far the best one yet. Highly recommend this company for helicopter tours.
Enjoyed myself and I will let everyone know.
Fantastic pilot. Great support staff. Amazing views.
Sensacional!!! Experiência maravilhosa!! Foi tudo perfeito, desde a reserva pelo site, pagamento on-line (que eu estava um pouco apreensiva - 4 pessoas). Após o pagamento já recebi um e-mail de confirmação da Rainbow, trocamos algumas informações essenciais e pronto. No dia tudo foi PERFEITO!! Super pontuais, o voo durou 62 minutos e foi um ESPETÁCULO!!! MARAVILHOSO!!! Nos mostrou toda ilha de Oahu com muitas informações e curiosidades. Não poderia ter sido melhor. Recomendo e faria novamente.
It was awesome! Got a front seat too. Pilot and staff were great! Very exciting flight.
Amazing!!! Our first time in a helicopter. Mike our pilot was so great!!! I'm afraid to fly and he made me so comfortable by engaging us with his knowledge of the island. Also stellar flying skills! This was our 33rd year anniversary present and Rainbow didn't disappoint. Doors off for sure for your family.
Great adventure to put on anyone's "to do" list. We had a very fun time.
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.
Freddy was amazing! This tour was truly an exceptional experience that neither of us will forget!
Thumbs up and all hands on deck on this awesome tour! Fantastic piloting & narration flew us over the entire island of Oahu. Open-doors highly recommended, but dress for the wind. Stunning!
Exceptional. Well organized and anticipated everything. Fantastic pilot. He didn't do any high speed maneuvers. Lol. Thanks for a great experience.
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!
Great experience and I highly recommend Freddy the pilot. He was knowledgeable of the entire island and very careful while flying and educating our group.
Wonderful!!!
The flight was absolutely spectacular. Joel was an amazing pilot and very knowledgeable about the island. There are views, such as the Sacred Falls waterfall, are something that you can only see from the sky since it was closed to hikers since 1999. I would highly recommend the helicopter tour by rainbow helicopters to anyone!
Great experience coupled with a great staff = great time. From the moment I booked the flight it was a top notch experience. Reception called me minutes after I booked to confirm I received the email with parking instructions and everything was good to go. Arrived and followed the well documented signage to the designated area and we were off. Even on a super windy day everything was super smooth and felt like first class passengers on a first class trip the entire time. Would highly recommend.
We recently went to Hawaii to celebrate our 50th anniversary and included a helicopter tour of Oahu with Rainbow Tours. It was fantastic, and I would do it again and recommend it completely. Mike, the pilot, was wonderful. He took us around the whole island, showed us Pearl Harbour, the Dole plantations, pointed out interesting spots and beautiful landmarks. Definitely the highlight of our visit.
Wonderful experience. Scenery was fabulous and included so many of the famous landmarks and sites. Pilot Kieran was informative, charming and funny. The only concern was front seat for two passengers is an extremely tight squeeze. I have mobility issues, so the tour is a great way to see and experience all the wonderful things, without all the walking. Highly recommend
Excellent tour. Very experienced pilot. Received good information. Flight was very smooth.
Would recommend
This was an amazing heli tour and Darrell at the controls was a superb pilot and extremely informative and personal…. Would definitely recommend and do the tour again!!!
It was terrific. Everyone considered it the highlight of our vacation.
The tour was fantastic! Joel kept us safe and gave us wonderful views of the island! When our daughter saw his picture, she thought he was cute but needed a beard, LOL. On a side note, I was in seat 1 and could not hear his narrative very well in spite of adjusting the knobs on the headset. More instruction is needed there. Thanks for a great experience!
Tour was fantastic and fun! The welcome staff were warm and friendly. My first-time on a heli so getting a birds eye view of Oahu was amazing. We saw rainbows, waterfalls, and the beautiful beaches. Darrell did a nice job of giving insight to cool facts about Hawaii, Pearl Harbor, and the tidbits about the local communities. The only downer...if you are seated in seat 1 and 2 request to be moved because you're next to the pilot console, we felt a bit cramped. Other than that this tour made our Valentine's day super memorable.
Joel was a great pilot ! He was thorough on everything before take off , and we felt super safe with the staff . During the flight he answered all our questions about the island and sites we seen . He told us lots of info about the island and history and showed us cool spots and sites. Definitely worth every penny , and a memory me and my daughter will cherish and remember forever ! Also they let you view video after before purchasing , so if thinking of getting a video , wait until you view it after your flight to see if your satisfied with the quality before paying !
Thank you again Joel + Staff !
smashing tour of Oahu with Kieran, who pointed out the sights and made a few extra circles around two different whale sightings. We enjoyed the doors-off experience in the Airbus jet helicopter… 🙂
This tour was our first time in a helicopter and now likely won’t be our last. Turner was the best pilot! Felt safe and secure even with the yaws and bumps. Doors off is the way to go! He was very knowledgeable and the right amount of chatty for us. We say parts of the island we would not have seen otherwise! Rainbow and staff very attentive and professional from the start. Everyone said hello and goodbye and asked how our flight was. It was an hour that didn’t seem like one at all!
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.
This flight was so much fun and I highly recommend doing this. Everyone was very professional and safety was a top priority. The views of the island from the air are amazing. The pilot, JoJo, was very experienced and shared information about the island and what we were looking at. Thanks Rainbow for an experience we will never forget.
Pilot was full of information and made adjustments for the weather. We are glad we did it! It was amazing!
This was the single best experience of recent years for me. First time in a helicopter and first time in Hawaii. I wish it was longer than an hour it was so mesmerizing. Our pilot Emma was really great and explained sites to us and answered questions. Such a blessing to be able to do.
This was an amazing experience. Our pilot Darrell was skillful, knowledgeable, friendly and informative. He made sure we had the chance to see the sights from both sides of the helicopter so everyone had a view. He had great recommendations and insider tips.
The advance crew was professional and focused on safety. They answered our questions and ensured we were ready for a safe flight.
We’re a 65 year old couple looking for a unique experience but unsure the doors off option would be too “adventurous” for us. We’re so glad we did! Pilot Daryl made the trip super smooth and we felt totally safe and comfortable the entire trip. He did an excellent job narrating and explaining the areas of the island we visited. We even got to see sea turtles and beaching whales! We’ve traveled a lot and we’d post this as one of our lifetime experiences.
An incredible way to see Oahu!
I wish I had done this as soon as I arrived because you get a really good understanding of the island and where everything is.
Our pilot Josh did a wonderful job at explaining all the different sights and was great at giving us a heads up whenever there was turbulence (only happened twice and very briefly). I generally get motion sickness when I travel but Josh was very smooth with take off and landing.
I highly recommend the experience! You’ll never forget it
We did a private doors-off Royal Crown of Oahu tour with Turner.
This was a fantastic tour. Covered a significant loop of Oahu, and gave us a chance to do reconnaissance for our drive around the island that followed immediately after.
Turner was a fantastic guide and a very comfortable pilot with whom to be out.
I'd do this again, and recommend it to anyone.
Absolutely amazing! Our pilot JoJo was engaging skillfull and professional. His narration of the tour provided a lot more depth and understanding to the island. Overall a beautiful experience and we would highly recommend Rainbow Helicopter Tours everyday! 5 star service to be sure. Thanks guys.
Our doors off flight was amazing. JoJo was our knowledgeable and wonderful pilot. It was a clear ang sunny day so we had beautiful views of the island. It was amazing to see the different terrains which can only be seen by air. The hour tour went by quickly and I would recommend this tour highly.
Our doors off flight with pilot Emma was fantastic! While you can't control the weather, which was overcast and a bit rainy, Emma did did a great job flying. I never felt uneasy throughout the entire experience. The views we were able to see were spectacular, some of which you can only get by taking this tour. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Emily did a awesome job piloting the helicopter around the island. She put my wife and I at ease with our anxiety of being our first time in a helicopter. Friendly and knowledgeable definitely recommend Rainbow Helo.
Rainbow Helo was super accommodating as we were a late add and ended up switching passengers shortly before the flight. Jojo our pilot was outstanding, cheerful and informative. Highly recommend!
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.
Our pilot was awesome and super knowledgeable! Believe it was the best part of our trip!
Thank u
We had such a wonderful experience on this helicopter ride that we are hooked! Our pilot was great and we felt completely safe the whole time, even with bo doors! I highly recommend this tour!
Excellent experience. Joel was a great pilot and tour guide. We went back and forth on "doors off or on?", in the end took doors off, great decision! Highly recommend this tour.
Awesome experience!
Darrell is the Best!!!
Awesome flight Joel did great job on tour for us. Three of us never been on a helicopter before. MAHALO
Very friendly before, during, and after the flight. Great experience, great sights, and a lot of fun.
Pilot Michael and our flight were both excellent! A great way to view all parts of the island (including places we weren't able to get to) and end our time on Oahu. Thank you!
Amazing experience! I feel like I know the whole island now! It's great to be able to drive around and say you have seen everything from above! Very knowledgeable and friendly pilot and great ground crew. 10s across the board! Will definitely recommend.
The booking was straight forward, the location was easily accessible with free parking and staff was extremely helpful and informative. Everyone was very friendly. The whole experience was beautiful!
Super friendly personnel and great pilots! Great tour with knowledgeable and educated pilots! Will do it again on my next trip to Hawaii. Also, $160 cheaper than some of the other competition.
This was an incredible experience. We were able to see the entire island, and it is spectacular. The pilot was extremely good and I would recommend this experience.
Tony did a great job talking, and flying around the island (simultaneously!). He did, however, repeatedly say "for those on the left side of the aircraft ...," yes we were on the right side, and saw lots of wonderful oceans. He diverted many times to show us, but the tour is counter-clockwise around Oahu and there is only so much you can do. Anyway, great tour, 5-stars.
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.
Fantastic tour. Highly recommend this company. Well organized and very friendly.
Amazing experience! Super friendly staff that was very welcoming, and a pilot that was knowledgeable, funny, and professional! So great, I'm doing it again in a couple of days! Highly recommend!
It was a wonderful trip. Indescribably beautiful views of Oahu. Thank you very much for the great trip.
Wonderful trip that exceeded our expectations. Thanks!
Absolutely incredible! My favorite experience of our Hawaiian adventure. The 60 minute tour was everything we hoped it would be. Doors off is the way to go if you want an adventure in the sky. Everything we saw plus the knowledgeable pilot, it was amazing.
We had an amazing tour! Our pilot, Kyle was incredible. Very knowledgeable, fun and interacted well with everyone.
The views from above were even better than we expected. And we were so glad we did the tour with the doors off.
Our pilot Tony was very knowledgeable and the tour was relaxing and scenery breathtaking. The flight was calm and well narrated.
I would recommend to all. Great customer service, awesome pilot with great knowledge of the island and overall an excellent tour. Thank you Pilot Joel. You did a great job!!!
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 🙂
Incredible experience. Pilots are knowledgeable of the island and entertaining (not to mention, safe!).
Best family adventure ever! Tobias was our pilot and he was so knowledgeable about the island. Do it when you first arrive on the island so you can see everything without having to drive, then you can decide where you want to spend more time…we did our tour with the doors off and all 4 of us enjoyed it. Would definitely do it again and I highly recommend them!
Really enjoyed the flight around Ohau, will worth the money. Would highly recommend. Staff are all welcoming.
Rainbow Helicopters was very professional, friendly, competent, and made me feel safe. Joel was my pilot. He was very knowledgeable about the island and great at piloting the aircraft. I would fly with them again and highly recommend!!
This was my wife's surprise anniversary gift for me. The whole experience was amazing and breathtaking. The staff and pilot were very professional and we were very well taken care of from start to finish. I will definitely recommend them to my friends.
Went on this tour on my honeymoon, and I must say it’s the most exhilarating experience I’ve ever had! Our pilot, Kyle, was extremely informative and friendly! Highly recommend anyone looking to your Oahu to take this tour immediately!
We have been in several helicopter rides in the past. The emails prior to leaving started giving us some concerns. But our concerns were unfounded. From the moment we showed up on site for the ride until we got back, it was excellent. The last time we had a helicopter ride for an hour, I believe we got 47 minutes total. When you’re paying about $30 a minute that could be very frustrating. Our pilot, Joel, gave us every bit of the hour that we were hoping for. Very enjoyable.
Pilot Kyle was awesome very informative and fun
Fantastic excursion and the pilot was very kindly.
Excellent.
I took my mum on a 1 hour doors off helicopter tour for her 60th birthday and it was honestly the highlight of our trip! 100% recommend having the doors off for the ultimate experience and view. Kieran our pilot was so knowledgable and a great guide. Can not recommend this enough!!!
Our doors off helicopter ride was amazing!! Our pilot Alex was very informative and professional. We saw how beautiful Hawaii really is from 2,000 feet in the air. I would recommend this adventure to anyone who wants to see Oahu Hawaii from a totally different perspective.
I had the pleasure of embarking on a thrilling helicopter ride over the stunning landscapes of Oahu, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary! Pilot Tobias, with his exceptional flying skills and warm demeanor, made this aerial journey an unforgettable one.
From the moment we took off, Tobias ensured our safety and comfort, providing clear instructions and information about the scenic spots we would be flying over. His knowledge of Oahu's geography and history added a fascinating layer to the adventure, and we found fully immersed in the beauty of the island.
The breathtaking views from the helicopter were beyond compare. We soared over lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and beautiful beaches, each sight more awe-inspiring than the last. The way Tobias expertly maneuvered the helicopter to showcase the island's most picturesque locations allowed my friend and I to capture stunning photographs and create cherished memories.
Our tour was wonderful, special thanks to our tour guide Kyle! Will definitely be back!
Amazing experience. One cannot imagine the scale of the volcanic activity that once was. Kieran was pilot on my flight and he really was knowledgeable and engaging. I sat in front with doors on and the other passengers were in back with doors off. Thank you also to the lovely reception staff who were very professional and welcoming.
Best regards and Mahalo.

Excellent value. Our pilot was a super star
Great flight and pilot Kyle was great in his narrative. High recommend this flight!!
Thoroughly enjoyed our one hour tour without doors. Staff was efficient and friendly before and after the ride. Our pilot, Kyle, was very personable and knowledgeable about the Island, but most importantly a great pilot.
First flight and great experience ! Very professional. They take care of you from passing the entrance of the office till the very end of the tour. Very nice and friendly pilot. I recommend for sure and will do it again next time in Oahu.
Kyle was an excellent tour guide and pilot!
My wife and I had a blast, first time helicopter ride.
Would recommend Rainbow Helicopters to everyone!!!
Breathtaking scenes! Our pilot Jojo is the awesome!!
I recently had the opportunity to take a helicopter ride in Oahu, Hawaii, and it was an absolutely breathtaking experience. From the moment we took off, the panoramic views of the island's lush green mountains, cascading waterfalls, and stunning coastline left me in awe. The pilot, Kyle, was knowledgeable and provided interesting commentary throughout the flight, enhancing the overall experience. The smooth and comfortable ride, coupled with the unparalleled beauty of Oahu from above, made this helicopter adventure a definite highlight of my trip. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable way to explore the island.
Tony was an awesome guide & driver! He was informative & interesting & attentive. I would highly recommend Tony & Rainbow tours!!
We had an amazing experience. The view from the sky is absolutely breath taking! Mahalo!
Excellent way to see Oahu from an incredible perspective. Everything was incredibly professional, proficient, and precise. We did the doors off Royal Crown of Hawaii and that was an amazing experience. My son (7) had a great time and the pilot talked to him the entire time to make him comfortable.
We will definitely do this again on our next trip.
Josh was a terrific pilot & tour guide.
Wow great experience. We were very nervous but it was amazing. Thanks to Josh the pilot
Doors off is the way to go.
So glad we took the tour! We were able to see the island in a completely different way. Pilots were great.
Pilot Josh was very good and informative.
Incredible, incredible tour! Tobias was a great pilot, it was a smooth ride and fantastic views!
This was definitely a "bucket list" must! This was an unforgettable experience for my guests from Okinawa, Japan.
Highly recommend this tour!
Tobias is an excellent pilot. Our flight was very informative and we had so much fun. This is a must to see the island and all its beauty❤️
This was the best trip. From check in till the flight was complete my family had the best experience. The pilot Kyle was very informative and easy to talk with my 4 grandkids.
My husband & I did the 60 minute flight. Absolutely phenomenal & highlight of our time in Oahu! Our pilot Tony was so great, making sure we had a view of all we wanted to see. He was so professional, communication was exceptional, we could not have had it better. The staff was so warming to greet us with smiles & made sure we knew our safety. If you want the best Fly Rainbow Helicopters!
This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Hawaii. The views were spectacular and the pilot was very informative of the site we were seeing. I would recommend it to anyone who goes visits Oahu.
My wife and I did the one hour island tour. This was one of the highlights of our visit to Hawaii. The staff was friendly and very professional. Highly recommend this tour.
Staff was super friendly. Easy booking experience. Pilot was talented and informative! Overall had a wonderful experience!
I highly recommend this tour. The ride was truly breathtaking. Our Pilot Kyle was amazing and was very knowledgeable of the island.
Amazing sites and fabulous information provided by our pilot Joey. Would 1000% recommend!
Such a cool experience. I live on the island so it was really neat to see everything from above. The views are stunning, and our pilot entertained us with facts but it wasn't overbearing commentary. I wish there was a way to book my seat ahead of time because the customer by the door took social media videos the entire time, so I had to crane my neck back and forth to see the views. Also, the flight video wasn't worth it for me. I thought the camera would've been set up outside the helicopter, but it was more like a dashboard cam. Overall, fantastic!! I plan on doing this again!
Really fantastic experience - recommend it to anyone. Excellent commentary by the pilot. Very exciting!
We had the best time on this tour! Our pilot Kerry was very knowledgeable about the island and made us feel at ease! Highly recommend to anyone!
JoJo did a great job showing us the sites! It was a beautiful tour! Thank you for convincing us to do it doors off! It was awesome!
Me and my partner did the doors-off tour. Best thing ever!
Tony, the pilot, was very informative and was able to share with us amazing views and tell us rich history of the island.
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!!!
We did a private, Royal Crown of Oahu, doors off tour. It was worth every penny. There are no words to describe this experience, JUST DO IT! It was by far the best excursion we've ever booked while on any vacation. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and efficient while prepping everyone to takeoff on time. Our pilot was Alex and he was amazing. He was very informative and knowledgeable of the entire island. He flew us over everything Oahu has to offer. To say the views are beautiful and breathtaking is an understatement. I literally cried... more than once. Lol. Simply gorgeous and incredible. We highly recommend doing a private doors off tour. One, you don't have to share the experience with anyone but your group and two, you get to sit next to the door with absolutely nothing blocking your view. Omg! I can go on and on. 100000% the best! We're in Oahu for a week. Flew in on a Friday afternoon and did this first thing Saturday morning. The best decision ever! We've been driving around visiting all the places we saw from the sky. We're actually considering doing it again before we leave. This time with no cameras or gopros so we can just sit back and enjoy the views. Definitely going to request Alex for our pilot if possible. You will not regret this experience, Rainbow Tours is the best!
Fabulous! I was flown over place I had already seen and places I had not been able to visit yet! Pilot was well trained and knowledgeable and the ground crew were professional and very kind to my family who waited for me. Highly recommend!
Had so much fun, great way to see it all in one hour!
Our tour was amazing!!! JoJo was a fabulous pilot - so kind and knowledgeable of the island. He did a great job answering our questions. We did the doors-off tour, and I highly recommend it! I was very hesitant (mainly because of my fear of heights) but the views from air were simply breath-taking. JoJo took us by a waterfall, and it was so beautiful! It was incredible to see Pearl Harbor from the air, too. If you can, take the 60-minute tour - you won't regret it! Also, a big thank you to the ground crew and office staff. They were so professional and kind the entire time! We had to wait a few minutes before getting into the helicopter, and the conversations we had with the crew on the tarmac was great! They were so fun to be around! Thank you again and I will definitely be recommending Rainbow Tours to everyone!
Amazing views, the only way to see some of the most beautiful island features
Awesome experience, start to finish 5++ stars!!
Staff were wonderfully informative and friendly, yet conveyed the required safety info clearly and professionally! Always felt they had it together, at every moment. I work as an aviation maintenance tech at a major airport. I know how a good ground crew can make or break an operation, and these people just plain nailed it. Really GREAT team !
Now on to the RIDE ! Captain of our Ship was Kyle. I cannot possibly say enough positive things about his skill, personality, professionalism and obvious passion and dedication to his craft. A true artist (without the quirks, lol).
I can honestly say the only thing wrong was I wish we had the whole evening. Kyle checked every possible box. Rainbows, waterfalls, whales!! He was super knowledgeable about the island (I wish we would have done the tour FIRST!).
We had a slightly ‘airsick’ passenger. As such, Kyle accommodated her condition, whilst not watering down the experience for the rest of us. Bravo, Captain!
Doors off is absolutely the way to go! I was on the outboard right side, and completely loved it. I’d go every day with Kyle, though I’m sure the rest of the pilot group is of similar caliber talent ( but request Kyle if you can - he’s that good - makes it seem ridiculously easy. And I know it is not!).
Am I satisfied? Completely. Would I recommend Rainbow? Without hesitation. Enjoy your adventure- we certainly did!!!
And a special final thanks to Kyle - I will never forget that flight !
Everything from the signage, facilities, crew and helicopter was great. The crew was welcoming and made the check-in process very easy, and along with their smiles made our first experience awesome. Our pilot Oliver was outstanding and interacted constantly with us, pointing key landmarks; the flught was smooth alll the way from beginning to end.
Thabks for the amazing experience!!!
It was amazing! Our pilot Joey was very knowledgeable and fun as a guide. We were on a doors off tour and I would recommend it even for someone apprehensive about it. You get full view of the beautiful island and some areas you may not be able to get to on the ground.
One of the most epic experiences with my son. from the pilot to the views, I cant recommend this more. Thanks for the awesome tour JoJo. I will be doing this again in the future for sure!!!
I would have given 5 stars if I could have gotten the video I prepaid for. I know I will get reimbursed but a corrupted video really kinda sucks
It was amazing, words can’t describe the view
We had Tobias as are captain and had an absolutely amazing experience. Tobias was very knowledgeable about the island and was able to take us to some amazing places. We choose the doors of experience and it was the perfect choice for are group. I would 100% recommend doing this if you can. You will get views of the island most people never see.
My wife and I really enjoyed the ride. Tobias our pilot was excellent and did a great job of pointing out most all of the top landmarks. The flight was smooth and comfortable all the way around the Island. The only downside was the time passed way too fast! Thank you Tobias for an experience of a lifetime.
This is a great addition to any Oahu vacation! Our pilot was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the entire island. He pointed out all major areas and would pause so we could snap pictures. Great experience!!
Was an amazing Helicopter Island Tour with Tobias!
Tobias was an expert Driver, he knows everything about the Island!
I will recommend the company for my friends!
Mahalo Tobias!
Tank skal du ha Tobias!
🙂
After 36 years in the Army, one more helicopter ride is not on the agenda. But my wife had never flown and it was my 70th birthday, so what the heck. We were so impressed from the front desk staff to the ground crew to the pilot Jo Jo to the beautiful well maintained aircraft, nothing could have been better. Except of course, the wonderful landscape and waters surrounding O’ahu. Thanks so much for a fantastic lifetime experience.
The ride was super cool and saw a bunch of Rainbows in the sky.
What a great aerial view of Oahu! From the easy online booking tool, quick response from customer service with details, easy check-in process, very pleasant facilities and staff, and a great pilot and guide (kudos to JoJo!), it was a seamless experience and worth it. I was a little worried weather might mess up the plans, but we had a break during that time and got to see quite a bit on the Royal Crown of Oahu tour, Definitely recommend Rainbow Helicopters - and if you are up for it, ‘doors off’ was a great option to take - take a sweatshirt or jacket if so! Mahalo!
Of course it was pricey, however, this experience was extraordinary! I highly recommend.
Also, all staff there were super nice. We asked some requests on the day, they tried to be flexible.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for a special memory! I enjoyed the ride and getting some photos so unlike any you can get from the ground. I was sorry we couldn't see the waterfall and Pearl Harbor but I understand the safety needs concerning weather/rain/cloud cover.....I appreciate you fitting me in after my flight the day before (different company) was cancelled and they had no openings for several days. Thanks all the kind and friendly staff and to Oliver (pilot)! And last but not least I loved having the doors off, really added to the experience!
It was canceled due to bad weather. The staff was very good.
This was a wonderful experience! We did the hour long doors off tour and loved it. The whole team was great and our pilot JoJo was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
We had a great time. Our pilot Karsen was awesome. Was great to get a view of the island that we normally would not have gotten. The only disappointment was that the door was on, we had requested doors off, but other than that we loved the entire tour.
The doors off tour was exhilarating a truly first time experience for the three of us. We thoroughly enjoyed our time from take off to landing. Kerry, our pilot was amazing, knowledgeable, very courteous and accommodating!
We had the doors off, Crown of Oahu flight/tour. Loved the experience. Great service. Our pilot Tobias was fantastic and was great at telling us what we were seeing. The whole operation felt very professional and safe. The price was competitive if not better than other options. The only thing keeping it from being a 5 star review is the weather. Due to rain in spotty areas on the north shore we couldn’t see the entire route and had to make an alternate path that didn’t include the waterfall and big waves of north shore. Maybe next time.
A fantastic trip! I recommend the door off if you want to take photos. I was warned it would be a bit windy and cold but with the right clothes it was very comfortable.
It was a thrill flying over the island to get a perspective of all the different landmarks and cities. We saw lots of items of interest including Sacred Falls (only able to be seen from the air), the valley where lots of films/TV series were shot, Pearl Harbour and the North Shore where surfing competitions are held.
Karsen, our pilot was very competent and informative.
If you want to get an overview of Oahu, this is the perfect way to do it.
It was expensive but it was well worth it. It seemed to be very safe and fun. If you can afford it, then go.
Besides, EDDIE WOULD GO.
Amazing experience! Highly recommend it
Carson was an incredibly smooth pilot. Did an amazing job and was knowledgeable about the island. This tour was hands down the highlight of the week!
We had Kyle as a pilot and he was great and narrated the whole flight. We all were impressed with Kyle!! The only thing is we booked a doors off and last minute we were told one door had to be closed. If it was for safety reasonings based on guest weight we would understand but we weren't given a reason. Other than that, we loved it and I would definitely don't again!
Ein wunderschöner Flug mit unserem Piloten Oliver. Wir hatten traumhaftes Wetter bei unserem Door off Flug. Ein Muss wenn man auf der Insel ist.
This is a 5 star experience from start to finish! We flew with Tobias who was very knowledgeable and an excellent pilot! This is definitely worth it!
A must do experience while on the island.
It was a fun ride. Make sure to dress warm if you’re doing doors off ride. The staff is super nice and helpful along the way. People with long hair NEEDS to put it in a tight ponytail, preferably low ponytail. The winds whips your hair. For your comfort and those near you, please! It hurts… even the bangs.
Pro- Fantastic views with a little history thrown in.
Con- We paid for a 1 hr flight and got 46 minutes. No hover time.
John Smith
It was awesome!!!!!!! Such a smooth ride. Wonderful staff. Harley, our pilot, was great, answered questions and explained everything we were seeing. Even got little history lessons. The views are absolutely breathtaking.
I would highly recommend it, worth every penny. Will definitely do it again
Our pilot, Kyle, was an excellent tour guide. He was knowledgeable of the area & its history. He made sure that we saw all the beautiful areas of Oahu. We were all genuinely pleased with our trip!
We were a big concerned when we saw the dark clouds, but the staff assured us that with the bit of wind we were having it would not deter from our flight our views. Boy were they right! Starting with our wonderful pilot Harley explaining all we were going over and near. To my many questions. He was able to circle around a couple of areas so that I could get better pictures of the waterfalls and the AZ Memorial.
If you want to see the island and not have to rent a car or take a ground tour this is the way to go and do it with the doors off the views are that much more.
We did the 60 minute door off tour and it was the BEST!!! Our pilot Oliver gave us a lot of detail of the island and also made sure we got some really good views to take picture of. 10/10 would recommend and would also try again !!!
Excellent experience and premium 5 service. We did a on our last visit and went with doors off this time. If you have never had the experience, you are missing out. It is a once in a lifetime experience that I would recommend you don't hesitate to do. Loved flying over the island over a 1000 feet high. Thank you so much Christopher
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour by air of Oahu! Beautiful sights, safely flown; courteous staff, knowledgeable; Highly recommend. Nice video of flight also.
Awesome time on the helicopter! Oliver was a great pilot and went out of his way to be personable and check on everyone frequently during the flight. Gives you a whole new perspective of the area! Oliver did a great job giving both sides of the chopper great photo opportunities! A must do!
What an awesome experience we had.
Kyle was so informative with facts that visitors want to know. He made sure to give us a heads up of his maneuvering and checked on my wife when she seemed a little afraid. He is a skilled pilot and personable. Upon arriving, there were several signs to help us get to where we needed to be. The staff was very helpful and did a great job preparing us for our flight. Great experience!
Tobias was an amazing pilot and the experience itself was spectacular. Thank you!
We had an absolute blast on the tour of Oahu! What a great experience! I would definitely recommend it.
Excellent, saw everything I wanted to see from the air. Highlight of my week on the island.
We spent 8 hours in a van "touring" the island on Wednesday. We spent an hour in the air on Thursday with Rainbow helicopters. The one hour in the air provided better views, context and content than any of Wednesday. I strongly recommend doing the one hour flight. If you can do "doors off," it provides so much more visibility at the risk of tangled hair (wear a hoodie, put the hood on!). Rainbow was very accommodating and did everything they could to make our trip safe and enjoyable. Our pilot Kerry was awesome, making sure we were comfortable, knew what we were looking at and also made sure I got the opportunity to get some priceless pictures. Excellent flight, awesome memories and fantastic pictures. Thank you Rainbow Helicopters (and especially Kerry!!!)
Loved everything about it . Got to go open door makes all the difference.
Wonderful flight with a fantastic pilot !
Tobias gave us many explanations, showed us the most beautiful place. The 60 minutes tour is breathtaking and an unforgettable experience with such a great pilot… Thanks a lot, Tobias
Excellent experience!!! I would definitely recommend it to put on your vacation to do list!!
Great experience.
Our pilot Riley did a great job.
Oliver was very professional and genuinely concerned about his passenger’s experience. My husband and I truly enjoyed our “doors” off tour of the island. It was amazing!!
We did the Royal crown of Oahu on Saturday, October 8th and our pilot was Rylie. Fantastic trip. First time being in a helicopter for us, and with the doors off, it was even more spectacular. Felt safe the entire trip, and our pilot did a great job pointing out the sites. It’s a must do trip. Next time we are in Hawaii it will be on our list to do again.
It was a breathtaking experience and view that only a helicopter ride could provide. The pilot was informed and engaging. I would recommend this experience to all wishing to view and circle the island from the air in 1-hour.
Amazing! Had the front seat and probably the best view! Would recommend doing the one hour tour!
AMAZING!! Perfect in every way. Josh our pilot was the best!! He was friendly,funny and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend a Rainbow Helicopter tour. Thanks Josh for the memories my family will treasure for a lifetime.
Great experience! Definitely something to do. The hour long flight was just long enough and the pilot, Kyle, was knowledgeable and personable. Having the doors off is worth it for the unobstructed views and experience.
Amazing!! Thank you for being able to accommodate a last minute seat. Pilot was amazing.
Amazing last minute decision and definitely worth it. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Our pilot Riley did an exceptional job ensuring we got the most out of our ride. Definitely a highlight of our trip. Mahalo!
What a great experience. The pilot was well trained and experienced and very knowledgeable of everything we flew over. Highly recommend.
Amazing doors off experience around the island with my daughter! Harley was an AMAZING pilot AND tour guide! Many kudos to Harley!
Thank you for the tour. Doors off was not scary at all but with better view. The pilot Oliver was good.
We loved the tour. Matt was great! Views were fabulous. Doors off was great choice. We had a wonderful experience!
Fantastic doors off experience even though we had some clouds and rain. Our pilot Kyle was pleasant and very knowledgeable. This has become one of our top tourist attractions we have done.
Awesome experience. Doors off excellent for pictures!
We went for the full loop of the island and it was definitely the highlight of our holiday. Oliver was a great pilot doing some rather fancy moves and was very knowledgeable.
Love this tour definitely worth it, not just enjoy the magnificent mountain/beach view also the pear harbor(recommend going to pearl harbor museum before this) plus the pilot(Joey) is so friendly, more than a tour guide, sharing the memory of this land. Thanks so much, we definitely recommend all my friends doing this when they are here.
Our pilot Joey was amazing! We saw all of the beauty Oahu has to offer from the air. Flying over Pearl Harbor was especially cool to see.
The ride was amazing! Our pilot, Corey, was excellent. He highlighted the best sites but otherwise let us enjoy the view! Highly recommend!
Was the best thing I’ve ever paid for/done in my life!!! Joe, our pilot was fabulous!!
Amazing tour! Highly recommend taking the “doors-off” option. Our pilot was professional and informative. Cory did an amazing job of ensuring a safe/smooth ride, while also pointing out the sights. Props to the ground crew as well. Best way to see Hawaii! Mahalo!
We had an amazing time with Kyle. We even saw a halo rainbow 100% recommended
We are 2 Aussie couples who took to the skies with Josh from Rainbow helicopters a few days ago, he was very knowledgeable and gave us a great overview of the island. It was the highlight of our holiday and will definitely do the Rainbow flight again even though I suffered a little motion sickness right at the end it was so worth it
It was wonderful, seeing the island form the air is a great experience. My husband has been wanting to fly in a helicopter from a very young age, at 63 years of age he has finally had the experience. Josh, our pilot was very knowledgeable and an awesome pilot.
Awesome once-in-a-lifetime experience getting to see Oahu from the air. I surprised my partner with a doors off 60 min tour and he was so happy! We also felt totally safe and secure even with the doors off- it was exciting but not scary at all! Our pilot was great and even swung in a bit closer over the USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor for my partner to get some good photos after he told him his father was in the navy in WWII. Totally worth it and I hope we get to do this again someday!
Our pilot, Harley was great. He was knowledgeable about the sites, good mix of interaction with time to take in the amazing views. Doors-off made the whole experience memorable. Highly recommend this tour.
We had a really wonderful flight with Harley. The weather cleared just in time for us to do our complete route as planned & we couldn't be happier. We would absolutely take this tour again. 🙂
My family of four were totally over the top with excitement and said everything about the helicopter tour was amazing and a must do with doors off. The only regret was : I had prepared an envelope for a tip ( as no one took their wallets ) based on what I had read on line to give to the pilot. Big mistake , as we would have given the pilot 3 times the amount . Because he made the experience wonderful. When I get back home and settle- I will be mailing Reily a check - Thank you Reily for being part of my family’s memories . this was better than a five stars and from what they told me.
Fantastic, Jake our pilot was very knowledgeable of the area and just a really nice bloke! The young support staff were all very nice to talk to. Would definitely recommend Rainbow to our friends.
Just great.
It was an amazing experience. Our pilot was great.
Awesome ride. Harley kept the helicopter smooth. He provided great info, while still allowing us just to enjoy the ride. Truly amazing sights. Only complaint I have is that there was no confirmation/final invoice provided or sent following the trip.
Amazing service, Fantastic one hour flight with Corey. 6 people open door helicopter- highly recommended. Very professional. You will not regret it. Mahalo Pele
Most amazing experience ever. Our guide, Kyle, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. You definitely see the island in a way you couldn't otherwise. We felt completely safe, even with the doors off. This was the highlight of our trip and we haven't been able to stop talking about it or looking at our pictures and videos!
Awesome staff and a great experience!
Nothing but the best service with rainbow. Kyle was awesome as our pilot. Staff was on point. Best experience on the island by far. MAHALO!!!!
Booked a 6 person and a 4 person helicopter in July of 2022 for our group of 8. Both Flights were full of breath taking views and plenty of amazing photo opportunities. Pilots were very informative and gave us fun facts about what we were seeing. Your seating arrangement is determined based on your weight and balancing the helicopter, however... there really is NO bad seat in the bird! Mahalo Rainbow Helicopters for our awesome flights!
Awesome tour great equipment and staff!
Fantastic opportunity to see Honolulu from a different perspective. Rainbow were professional and their communication was concise from enquiry to flight. Only wish we had arranged the flight earlier in the trip to allow time to explore some great locations from the ground. Our pilot Kyle was awesome. He was engaging and provided lots of background as we navigated the island. A doors off flight is a must!
We had an amazing time on this ride. We had to land the first time shortly after we took off due to bad weather, but the entire team was very communicative and pleasant about it. We took of for the second time after 30mins or so, and our pilot Kyle was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and respectful and made us feel very comfortable. I would HIGHLY recommend using this company for an amazing helicopter tour of Oahu!
Fantastic experience - clean, professional, attention to safety. Our pilot was phenomenal, very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Great experience overall and would recommend them highly. We are a family of 4 with 2 kids that are 6 yrs old and they enjoyed it!
Great tour and great pilot. It was a truly unforgettable experience. The only thing we didn't like was that we booked a flight with closed doors but we were put together with a couple who booked open doors and therefore their door stayed open.
Fantastic, breathtaking tour! Our pilot, Harley, was excellent-very knowledgeable and friendly! Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Excellent experience. Conveniently located next to the airport, easy parking, comfortable waiting area, friendly staff to greet you and get you ready, amazing pilot, incredible sights all around the island - perfect trip all around!
Josh was very knowledgeable. He had a wonderful sense of humor, which made the trip. I would definitely recommend Rainbow.
I am making a coffee table book of our trip. Is there anyway you may email a picture of Josh, please.
Amazing tour. Our pilot Oliver was fantastic and would highly recommend.
Couldn’t stump the pilot. Very knowledgeable. Co pant is very professional. Would recommend to anyone- doors off for sure !!!
It was wonderful! Views amazing from up there. You get more of an idea what island really is. Pilot and team were great too! If you debating between tour operators this is a great choice. We had a wonderful time. Thank you!
My wife and I have been living on island for 2 1/2 years which made this experience even more amazing. The helicopter tour was fun and the sights were breathtaking. We saw all of the places we know and love from a new perspective. This helicopter tour was definitely worth the money.
Very friendly staff
Our pilot Harley was kick ass & the entire experience was smooth! Thank you so much!
We had a great time. The weather was perfect and the flight was smooth. The only constructive criticism is to have more narration from the pilot on history and more details of key sites throughout the flight. The pilot did point out some locations but a little more insight and details would be have been helpful. There was lots to take in from a passenger's perspective, and the helicopter had a time schedule so going slower or hovering to create time to ask questions was not realistic. Overall, a great time and would recommend this trip to anyone who has not seen Oahu from the air.
It was a spectacular trip, highly recommend anyone who is thinking about taking a helicopter ride. Josh our pilot for this trip was amazing, very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. Definitely would recommend using rainbow helicopter for an amazing experience.
Our tour and our pilot, Harley, were absolutely amazing! It was so beautiful. Harley was so friendly and knowledgeable. It couldn’t have been any better! Mahalo!
An overall brilliant experience. Oliver, our pilot, was very informative on all things scenic Ouha has to offer. A must if visiting this amazing island to get a true reflection of it's natural beauty. Thanks you very much Guys!
SUPERB, EXCELLENT, AMAZING - our pilot was Harley, he was so knowledgeable about the island. He took us over the beautiful blue seas & mountains, finishing with a flight over Pearl Harbour, really a must for anyone’s trip to Honolulu. Thank you Rainbow Helicopters (Harley) & the staff for a special trip that we will remember always
What a fantastic experience, Harley took us up on our flight and was so knowledgeable and showed us so much of the island. Will be one of those memories that we will always cherish. Highly recommend to anyone. Thank you for a beautiful tour
Great experience ever. With the doors off. Thank you Josh for giving us a wonderful tour of Hawaii
Simply outstanding! The entire group had a ball and the pilot was as smooth as peanut butter on velvet. We’ll be talking about our tour for years to come. Thanks for an outstanding experience!
Fabulous! We had doors off. Rainbows followed us the whole way around. We got lucky and had a small helicopter so we were the only passengers, and I got to sit in the front!
Smooth ride, partner gets motion sickness but wasn’t affected by it for this. I’m a nervous flyer and I was fine. Wore a long sleeve tee, it was only a little chilly up there, apparently about 5 degrees colder than on the ground (they said).
Highly recommend.
We flew with Riley. He gave an awesome tour. Everyone was very professional and friendly
After searching numerous helicopter companies, this was one of the highly rated companies that could accommodate a group of four. The only frustrating aspect I dealt with was after using the companies online booking. As I completed all of the information and paid for the booking. Then I received a text that the timeslot that I just paid for was not available. After some back and forth texting and phone calls, they were able to accommodate us one hour earlier than desired. This was okay but caused some rushing around on our part to ensure that we got to the facility in enough time. Once there, all of the staff was pleasant and helpful. Our pilot, Joey, is the only native Hawaiian pilot. I thought that Joey did a fantastic job flying us around and provided great information about the island and all of the landmarks. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience. As someone who does not typically splurge on purchases, I am glad that I chose the 60-minute flight. I believe it was well worth it.
Amazing tour. Highly recommend. All the staff were very pleasant and professional. Our pilot, Harley, was great.
Had we had to cancel due to Covid. The refund process was easy and quick.
Awesome views, great information. Glad we did it
We had a great flight and enjoyed the scenery! The Pilot was extremely knowledgeable regarding the sites! It was spectacular!
Magnificent! Glad we did a full hour. Been in a lot of helicopters. Pilot was excellent. Views were terrific. Safety measures were professional.
Our tour of the island was amazing. Riley did a great job!
Absolutely amazing tour around most of the island, with interesting factoids along the way. Our pilot was an absolute pro and made us feel very comfortable. 100% recommended and would do again!
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.
Amazing time in the Air with Kyle! Explained so much about the island and aviation! Super easy to hold a conversation and enjoy the ride at the same time! 100% would go again!
Helicopter flight was amazing and the pilot was very knowledgeable about the island. The staff made everyone feel welcomed from the moment you stepped inside the doors and the wait really did go by fast, and the helicopter went by even faster
Great flight all around and great customer service. Our flight started with a greeting by the Crew at the reception desk and a quick and simple safety video. Then a quick ride out to the aircraft where our pilot Riley already had the aircraft running and waiting for us to load. The flight was awesome to say the least. Being an old Army Aviation mechanic and door gunner from Afghanistan it brought back some great memories to fly with doors open and feel the wind filling the aircraft! Riley kept us at a nice smooth level flight climbing to about 2500ft for one portion as we went around the whole island. He called out the sites and even circled around so people on the outside got a first hand view of the major sites. That was the fun part as the aircraft banked about 30 degrees in a very controlled 360 degree turn. Any tighter than that and my fiancé woulda crushed my hand!!!
Everyone gets a headset with mic and they worked fine but only me and my fiancé talked during the flight. This was her first helicopter flight so she was a bit nervous but the jitters wore off toward the end when she talked to the pilot. Riley was very confident, managing the aircraft, talking to other aircraft and us as well. He knows his stuff for sure. Overall it was a great time and worth every penny. I’d definitely do it again and highly recommend their service. Thanks for making the whole experience a great time.
It was more than we had hoped for! Oliver was not only an excellent pilot but was very personable and knowledgeable about island history.
Riley was great! All staff was awesome!
It was a highlight of my trip to Hawaii. I had already rented a motorcycle and toured from the ground. It was nice to see it all from the air. Perfect weather day and awesome front seat view.
The ride was incredible and the staff are so friendly. Pilot Corey was excellent and really gave us a phenomenal experience. It was safe and we saw so many sites. Everything was beautiful and ran smoothly. I would highly recommend the Royal Crown of Oahu tour to everyone. You won’t be disappointed.
Our group of 4 had an excellent time on the 60-minute tour around the island. Oliver was a great pilot and tour guide. I highly recommend this tour, a must do!
This was a highlight of my vacation. Our pilot was wonderful!!!!
We were seriously considering booking another helicopter tour soon as we touched back down. Cory was amazing! Was wonderful to find out our pilot lived not too far from us for 10 years. Makes the experience that much more personal and he was great in giving us facts and tips during our flight. Honestly the helicopter tour was the highlight of our trip! Highly recommend rainbow helicopters to everyone who makes a trip to Hawaii.
Amazing experience for my wife and I! I would highly recommend it
This was the most amazing experience, Joey our pilot was a born and bread Hawaiian from Oahu, so had lots of knowledge about the Island.
Everything was seamless, from check-in to the safety procedures to the actual flight.
My only suggestion would be to charge $20 more and give passengers the flight recording.
I would definitely recommend Rainbow Helicopters, it was wonderful.
Was amazing and the best time
Getting a bird's eye view of the island was the best way to start our vacation. Josh was a great pilot he didn't make any sudden movements of the R44 chopper. Was such a great choice to do the doors off flight. Beautiful.
Cory did a great job of showing us the sites of Oahu. The ride was smooth, the chopper was well equipped, and importantly safety was first rate. Well done guys. Worth the dollars.
Our pilot Oliver was so amazing and made me feel better because I was scared ****less. Beautiful views and loved the extra information you got whilst flying around. Would recommend
Had a great time. A little windy but we had a great pilot. Oliver great job. Thanks again. Rick and Tracy.
Our helicopter tour was fantastic!! The views were amazing, and we can't say enough good things about our pilot, Oliver!! He is great! From Waikiki to the North Shore to Pearl Harbor, we will never forget it!!
Great trip. Got to see so much of Oahu from Honolulu to the east shore to the north shore and down to Pearl Harbor. Beautiful country. Waterfalls were awesome. Highly recommend
Amazing experience!
Booked last-minute with no hassle. Instructions were clear and concise as to where to show up and begin the tour. All staff, including Kyle (our pilot), were incredibly professional in topping off our Hawaii family vacation. We enjoyed every minute of it. If you're wondering about taking your littles on this ride (in my case, a 4 YO toddler and a 1 YO), Rainbow was more than accommodating and they had a blast. Both ended up napping during the tour which any parent would appreciate.
Thanks again, Rainbow! Great value and experience.
Excellent! Very fun & cool pilot! Harley gave us a good tour of the island.
Our grown daughter lives on Oahu. This was our first trip to the islands and our first helicopter flight. We had a great experience. Our pilot was informative and fun.
Absolutely such an amazing way to experience O’ahu! One of the most memorable parts of our trip. Cory was calm, knowledgeable, very friendly, and flew around our wedding venue when we pointed it out. Doors off is not nearly as scary as we imagined. Rainbow Helicopters is HIGHLY recommended.
Joey was absolutely the best! So fun and informative. Our flight was amazing, going down near the waterfall was thrilling. None of us had been on a helicopter. We felt completely secure, and would recommend the tour to anyone!! Completely made our trip!
An amazing experience not to be missed!!! Very professional service. Harley, our pilot, was excellent and guided us around the key sights. A family trip we will never forget.
EPIC! Went doors off and the views were absolutely incredible, what an experience. Special mention to the staff who were friendly and professional throughout the trip. As well as the pilot, he made me feel safe as soon as I stepped onto the helicopter and so extremely knowledgeable. Great way to see this beautiful island. TOTALLY recommend this company.
Liana
Best thing we ever did in our life! Great experience.
The organizers were very professional and the whole things went without the smallest glitch.
Our pilot, Oliver, was a great company too. He was happy to answer questions and would give us relevant info during the ride.
The pilot and the flight itself was great. He was professional, fun, knowledgeable and entertaining. He made the tour a blast!! My husband and I absolutely loved seeing the island from a different perspective.
My review isn’t to be negative about the flight, but to be transparent about what to expect.
After booking the doors off flight online and being told one of us would be in the front and the other would be in the back, we checked in to find out that we were on a bigger helicopter with another group. We walked into a debriefing room where we put on safety vest packages around our waist, received goggles for those who were on the outer seats, and leave the items not allowed on the flight.
We arrived at 2:00 like recommend, with about 10 minutes of brief, checking in. After an hour wait, 2:58 we left on a golf cart to meet the helicopter. It was a very tight squeeze in the back. My arms were borderline pinned to my side with a smaller indivual (seat 4) to my left and my husband (seat 6), who is a fairly big guy on my right. However when the second customer decided to move his son last minute to the front, the cushion for seat 4 in the back was taken out so that it wouldn’t fly away in the air. Which left me, in seat 5 (Second in from the right) with way more room thankfully, but then half my butt on the cushion and the other half without a cushion, the entire flight. This, as well as the seat location, made it very challenging to photograph anything. However the pilot made sure to turn in a way that gave me a chance to see the view.
Having the doors off made it exciting, however the customer to my left, his back cushion was pulling up from the wind so it pulled my left side up as well. This was very uncomfortable and left me sore the following morning. However I didn’t really mind it since our pilot was communicating back and forth about the island, and answering our questions.
I would highly recommend a private flight, especially for broader men, and consider doors closed to have all the cushions on the helicopter. The windows were clean and could be photographed through, however I am not sure about having the same visibility as doors off.
Escort that drove us to helicopter was not clear with her directions.
Pilot was very knowledgeable and professional. Everyone else was great.
The whole experience was unforgettable. Thank you!
We were blown away by the incredible views and vistas. Our Pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly. We truly enjoyed the one in a lifetime opportunity. Thanks!
The tour was beautiful. Our pilot, Josh, was amazing; especially with take off and landing, it was smooth. The only reason why I didn’t give 5 stars because they did not give us any opportunity to take any picture in front of the helicopter. We literally had to beg for ONE picture. Yeah we got pictures of the island from top but what about our pictures in front of the chopper itself?? That itself is a memory!!
Wonderful experience
Una experiencia inolvidable. Espectacular y espectacular el servicio y la atención de todos los empleados desde la llegada hasta la ida. Nuestro piloto fue el mejor. Nos hizo sentir muy seguros, fue muy cordial y profesional en todo. Muchas gracias. Los recomiendo al 200% y de seguro volveremos. Gracias.
One of the best helicopter tour companies in the world. Woman owned and operated. Owner is one of the pilots. Total professional operation. From safety briefings, personal flotation devices, line staff, check in staff and pilots. I’ve been a professional aviator for many years and this one safe, efficient great operation. 5-Stars !
One of the best experiences My husband and I did! It was so amazing getting to see the island at different views. It was a little windy and raining at times but still came out with beautiful photos!
Excellent experience and loved our pilot
We had a great time!!! Josh told us so much about the places we were seeing. Loved seeing Hawaii from the air!
was a great heliride. our pilot riley is super cool. we loved his decent and easy attitude.
Josh was a great pilot. Wish the video was more focused on just us and not the others in the tour.
We had a terrific time on our tour and our pilot was great telling us what we were seeing below. Highly recommend
Love Rainbow, they are like a well oiled machine! Easy and convenient online booking. Ground staff is professional and friendly. Corey, our pilot is super knowledgeable and friendly. The ride was smooth and comfortable and he pointed out landmarks. Airfield easy to find and plenty of free/safe parking. We did the doors on because this was our first time, next time doors off!!
My wife and I visited O'ahu for our honeymoon and booked the hour long Royal Crown Rainbow Helicopter Tour and it was one of the best experiences we could have imagined! Everything about the experience exceeded our expectations and then some. Our pilot was super friendly and did a great job pointing out and providing bits of information about all the interesting sites on the island. The Odesza-style music playlist through the headset was an added benefit perfect for an island as beautiful as O'ahu. Would absolutely recommend Rainbow Helicopter to anyone interested in a breathtaking arial tour of Hawaii's capital island!
My 7 year old twins and I had an unforgettable tour with Karsen. Good details and history of significant places and the views were amazing.
Picture perfect day with a knowledgeable pilot who was happy to engage in conversation. Facility was very clean and modern. Would recommend the experience to anyone who may be on the fence
Joey was an outstanding pilot! We had the best time!
Great family fun. Everyone had a blast!
Really enjoyed our Royal Crown of Oahu flight with Karsen! Such gorgeous and varied scenery with a little information about the places we were seeing. The left rear window was excellent for doors off photography. And super scenic places were viewed from both sides to ensure everyone on the flight could see too 🙂
Very enjoyable flight!
This was one of the most thrilling things I have ever done. We saw the world from the perspective of a bird. Totally different than the world in an airplane with small windows to the outside. We rode with no doors and felt 100% safe - slightly windblown, but that's to be expected. And you could see the views without the glare of the glass. I would absolutely recommend it without the doors on. The sound dampening headphones were great - we could still hear the beating of the rotors, but it was so muted you could barely tell. The ride was totally worth the cost. The crew was professional and very helpful. They even took a video of our experience - what we saw and then our reactions. Would absolutely do this again!
Awesome time! Our pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was amazing to see the whole island from up above. Worth it!
The Rainbow team were excellent , great time
We had an amazing time on our helicopter tour of Oahu with Rainbow Helicopter. Our pilot, Bastian was very knowledgeable and I felt completely safe. The registration process, safety briefing and process to go out to the airfield was well organized and thorough. I will definitely be a return customer the next time we are on Oahu! Highly recommended!
Absolutely wonderful time. Pilot was great and very informational. Views are stunning. Everyone was so friendly and you can tell they love what they do. Highly recommend!
An amazing ride. Saw so much of Oahu. Sarah is a wonderful pilot and did a great job explaining what was coming into view and why it was important. It was the smoothest helicopter ride I have ever been on. Thank you
This doors off flight is a must do. If you think Hawaii is beautiful, you haven’t seen the real beauty until you take this flight. Worth every penny. Bastian, our pilot was awesome! Extremely skilled and knowledgeable. The entire staff were pros. Treat yourself to this!
Worth every penny!
What an amazing breathtaking experience! I wish the camera would capture the sides of the helicopter as well! Loved watching the video and reliving it again! Highly recommend! Def doing it again!
Adam was an amazing guide/pilot and very knowledgeable of all the sights. There are not enough words to describe how great this experience was. The entire staff is friendly, helpful, and professional. The atmosphere while waiting was chill yet informative which greatly helps ease any anxieties you may have about flying. If you can, splurge and do the one hour tour. So worth it!
The helicopter tour was Awesome. The views from the sky to the beach and Diamond Head was Spectacular,Gorgeous. Pilot was describing every scene and places. Very Informative.
Excellent tour! Amazing. We took the 1 hr tour!
Professional, accommodating, with no issues other than rain! Recommended to friends already.
It was a great experience especially on Christmas Day. My 11 year old son conquered his fear of heights with the amazing piloting of Corey. Thank you Rainbow Team for making this once in a lifetime experience happen.
There’s truly nothing like seeing the island from above, flying over places you’ve adventured and seeing rainbows in the sky!
Super fun experience. Awesome way to see they whole island
Awesome! A must do! It is the Best way to see all of Oahu! We saw humpback whales, 2 lighthouses, sacred falls, etc. truly wonderful experience!
Out of all the things to do in Hawaii this is a must !!! The views were Stunning! The ppl were friendly. I was just not aware we would be sharing the helicopter with other ppl but it’s was worth it!
Awesome experience doors off! Riley our pilot was fantastic!
Great experience!
Very well organized, we had a blast with Riley, went doors off and thats the only way to do it, only 5 degree difference.
A MUST DO if you visit Honolulu. The views are to die for.
I would recommend to do it with the doors off, to get the full experience.
We had a fantastic time and were blown away with the unbelievable experience. We are so happy we did it. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the island…and make sure you go DOORS OFF!
This was our second helicopter tour while in Hawaii, so it was hard to not compare the two. The check-in process, option of doors off, and the views were outstanding. We had a few suggestions: the pilot to talk more during the tour as we were wanting to know more details and the history about the island, spending just a little more time at the big scenic areas that were advertised (ie waterfall) especially since we were unable to view the entire tour due to cloud coverage. Overall, the tour was good and would still recommend.
Fantastic!!! Our pilot was great and took us to all the most beautiful places!!
Had a fabulous time on our helicopter tour. Absolute highlight of our trip!
Excellent tour. Toby was great, the ride was really smooth and comfortable. Not a rating on the tour, but if you have a larger group and going up with the larger helicopter you might not get to see everything from the center seats. To rectify this you should take the doors off to have unobstructed views. But the tour and everything itself was fantastic.
Great experience. Excellent pilot (Sarah) Awesome ride Loved every moment
Very good way to start a vacation! You’ll get all the highlights of the island and a little local history! Well worth it
The employees and flight was all spectacular. Very smooth flight and knowledgeable pilot. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
The helicopter ride was awesome! Even with doors off it felt so safe and allowed me to just enjoy the spectacular views.
Amazing! Such a great experience
The tour is great. Corey did a great job talking to us and fly us home safely. The experience is perfect and exactly what I expected. I love how we fly close to the fall; it’s a little scary but still a lot of fun.
Really awesome tour! Our pilot, Sarah, was also great
Amazing experience. Josh was a great pilot and guide. The tour of the island should be on everyone's bucket list for a visit to O'ahu. Doors off is really the way to go. Be prepared to take pictures of a lifetime!!
Absolutely amazing!
Rainbow provided us with an unforgettable experience!!! This was, by far, one of the coolest things we had the chance to do in Oahu. The staff was incredibly friendly & informative. Definitely add it to your bucket list!
Fantastic trip and beautiful views. Our pilot Sarah was amazing and super friendly. I feel like I would have really missed out if we wouldn't have taken the helicopter tour of the island.
The one-hour, door-off tour met and exceeded expectation! The service was wonderful. All of the staff were friendly, courteous, and professional. The helo and gear are top-shelf. I highly recommend Rainbow Tours.
Excellent aerial view of Oahu. All staff very professional and super friendly. Our pilot Josh was very informative. Recommend
Had an amazing time with Joey at the controls!! Everyone pre-and-post ride were professional and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. The flight was just what I needed to get an overview of Oahu - done a lot of driving around but with a "birds eye" view I found my bearings! Highly recommend for any visitors - did open door and the ONLY time I felt like I needed a "grab par" was going over the beautiful waterfall as Joey got up close!! Fun Fun Fun!
Joey was extremely knowledgeable and was great for our trip around Oahu. Amazing overall and would highly recommend this tour!!!
Matt was great and we would definitely recommend a ride with him to friends and family. We rode 60 min doors off and it was incredible.
We travel a lot worldwide. And I have to say that this was one of the most fantastic experiences we’ve ever had. We booked the full hour tour, doors off. The ground crew was great in preflight. The helo was great and comfortable and the pilot, Sarah, she was great. Pointed to all the important sites and gave us a very comfortable ride. And I should know. I’m a pilot and I know she had to deal with some winds, but she knows her route very well and we had a very smooth ride. The route was well planned and we got to see everything. The views were amazing. The videos and pictures we took are incredible. And Sarah made it a point that both sides of the helo could get good shots. It was our most memorable experience of our Hawaiian trip. I definitely recommend Rainbow Helicopters. 100%. Thank you for making this part of our trip very memorable. I highly recommend them.
We had an amazing 60 min flight around Oahu. They were efficient and made the whole process so easy. Our pilot, Josh, did a great job, and the flight was smooth and beautiful. Would highly recommend Rainbow!
Sarah was amazing! Tour was amazing and well worth the money!
Fantastic trip! Pilots were skilled aviators and provided great information about the island. Aircraft and equipment were comfortable. I would definitely fly with them again. My only negative comment is that we were supposed to be in one large helicopter, but they rescheduled us to 2 small helicopters (which was fine), and then wanted to charge us extra for a video of the second trip, so we ended up with only one video.
I never thought I would go on a helicopter tour, much less in Hawaii, so when the opportunity came up I took it, and I'm so glad I did! The views were stunning! I am afraid of heights, but I was so in awe of the beauty of Hawaii that I didn't even think about how high up we were and the fact that there were no doors on our helicopter! Our tour guide, Cat, was great and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!
Very professional pilot and staff was wonderful. The view was just breathtaking. Would recommend the doors off experience to everyone
Staff was great, Joey the pilot was even better. Very personable and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Rainbow and Joey
I had the opportunity to take my wife and kids (11-19) in a helicopter that fit seven of us comfortably (including the pilot), with each seat having a spectacular view! The pilot made us feel comfortable with his skills and abilities after sharing his long years of service in the military and flying many missions. The pilot did a great job of pointing out all of the landmarks along the way, making us laugh throughout most of the flight.
Amazing experience with Joey as our pilot! Very informative! Thank you for the awesome experience!
Very good. Always like going up into to the air on the helicopter. Kinda windy the day I went and Karsen handled the helicopter like a professional.
We booked the Royal for a full island ride and it was well worth it. The pilot, Cat, was outstanding. She concentrated on safety and procedures while ensuring we had a great view. She was very professional. The only reason I did a 4 instead of 5 is because of the young ones attending to videos. There was more attention to their personal lives than their customers. Ours was ruined and we did not purchase even at a discount. Why purchase it if no guarantee that we would be in it. We would probably fly with them again.
What an amazing tour. Sarah was great at giving us key details about the area. I would definitely fly with them again.
Absolutely fantastic experience, one that we will never forget… led by an amazing pilot! Best of all tours!
Our tour was incredible! Our pilot was Karsen, who did a wonderful job pointing out sites. I have a fear of heights but couldn't turn up the chance to do the one hour tour. We flew doors off, and I felt so safe and the helicopter was so smooth that I was able to really enjoy the flight. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!!
This was the best helicopter tour that we have been on. Joey our pilot was very informative and knowledgeable about the area.The weather was perfect the views were spectacular we were even lucky enough to see pods of dolphins. Doors off was awesome I highly recommend it.Rainbow helicopter tours is top notch when it comes to a tour of the Island. We just want to thank you for an awesome time in the sky we really enjoyed it.
It was really awesome Trip. Our Pilot GEOFF awesome and had an amazing tour with breath taking views. Kudos to him. Even though weather was crazy he did tremendous job and shows us every single spot without missing them especially Oahu waterfall, he took us there two time and had close view. Worth every penny! I recommend to choose Rainbow Helicopters for your Oahu tour. Thanks guys!
Amazing island views with informative information. LOVED doors off! Would highly recommend!
It was great from beginning to end. All of the staff were very professional, friendly and helpful in getting us on and off the helicopter. The pilot was excellent and we learned he was the youngest pilot, hats off to him and may he be a valued employee for you in the years to come.
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip and the professionalism of Rainbow Helicopters. Easy parking, easy directions/signage, easy check in. They make you put your phones in plastic carriers for safety but this did cause my phone to overheat. The headphones/mouthpieces weren't cleaned in between passengers which would have been appreciated (covid or not) because you have the place the mouthpiece so close to your mouth.
It can get very warm if you're sitting up front (with the doors on). We had one door off which helped with air flow and I was still cooking in the front.
We did this tour at the end of our trip which I recommend since you recognize landmarks and places you've been/visited; it gives you a stronger connection to the sites.
I'd recommend the company and the one hour tour.
Amazing!!!!
Served in the military for 20 years.. it brought back some memories and it was one of the most beautiful scenery flies I have ever had. The pilot was very informative and was able to tell us all about the island. I would do this over and over again. Hats off to the Rainbow company and their expertise pilots.
Great tour. Best pilot and guide. Worth the investment. Great way to see the areas you want to explore further from the ground on your time on this great island.
Enjoyed an early afternoon doors-off 60 minute tour of Oahu. Awesome experience. Pilot was very informative on the sites we passed on the island. I would highly recommend it. Will fly again next time we are in Oahu. Mahalo to Rainbow Helicopters
Excellent adventure! We took a doors-off 1-hour trip, it was very interesting experience. Though it can be very windy, my wife said she wanted to have a scarf to protect her neck.
This was an incredible experience. I really wish we did this first! Gave lots of ideas of cool things to do. We did doors off and it was awesome. I loved every moment! The views and seeing the island from the air was the best experience!
very good tour. nice pilot and very beautiful view!
This was such a wonderful view of the island! Paul was an excellent tour guide! It was amazing to drive around the island one day and then get to see all of those things again from the air. Such an incredible experience!
Excellent guides and view. Unbelievable scenery. Hard to explain in words. Each second or picture is worth a thousand words. You simply have to experience it.
Our helicopter tour was amazing! All staff were very kind. We had Paul as our pilot and he was very knowledgeable and made the tour so enjoyable. This was our first time on a helicopter and we felt very safe and would definitely recommend this to anyone!
First time in a helicopter and we went doors off, Sarah was our pilot, she was awesome and gave us a great tour. It was a little hard to hear and communicate, but once we got going we got the hang of it and it was nice to communicate with our pilot and ask dumb tourist questions. It was a very smooth flight for the most part, a few up and downs due to the winds, my wife is prone to motion sickness and she just took a Dramamine to help settle herself. Some things to know, you can tip your pilot after your flight once you get back in the office if you feel the need to, I did, if you have longer hair it will get tangled up pretty good and you have to leave your wallet in the office (I didn’t like this as it wasn’t locked). You can bring your cell phone, they provide a neck strap but my phone was very difficult to take pictures through the plastic, but my son had no problem so it was probably something I wasn’t doing right. I would highly recommend this once in a life time experience, as we made life long family memories.
LOVED this tour! My first helicopter ride, doors off! So fun! Out pilot Geoff was great too. Thank you for the fun time and beautiful views from the sky.
Best tour in Hawaii. The views from the air were spectacular. Everyone we encountered from the time we checked in to the conclusion of the tour were friendly and professional. Our pilot Sarah was awesome. I would definitely recommend this tour and Rainbow helicopter
The flight was smooth, our Pilot, Sarah, was a great tour guide and the scenery and views were spectacular. Would definitely fly with them again.
Awesome experience! Highly recommend!!
We are so glad that we were able to experience Oahu from the Rainbow Helicopter tour! It was definitely a highlight of our vacation! Our pilot was great-she was able to share with us all of the sites that we were experiencing!
What an adventure! We thoroughly enjoyed the island tour. We were able to see things we never could have on the ground. Our pilot, Kat, was exceptional. Not only was she a great pilot, but very knowledgeable on the island sites. I really appreciated the fact she was able to keep my wife calm during the turbulent areas and make this a very memorable experience for both of us. The first thing we did when we got home from the vacation was to watch the video. Such a wonderful reminder we will have of this trip. I am so glad we chose NOVICTOR for our tour!!! Would recommend this tour to everybody, and will definitely take it again on our next trip to Hawaii!
This tour was awesome! My pilot Sarah was super friendly, full of cool information, and of course a great pilot! Hands down would recommend to anybody!
Unforgettable experience! We took doors off and it was the best decision. Our pilot Catherine told us a lot of interesting things about Oahu. Thank you so much guys.
It was a very nice experience! Sweet pilot. Breathtaking views.
Tour was amazing! Pilot was very knowledge of the island and landmarks and pointed them out to us during the flight!
Absolutely amazing!! Thanks Nicole for the ride of a lifetime!!!
Fantastic tour and there are so many views that you can't appeciate from land as you can from the air. Me and my wife have done a number of helicopter tours around the US, but this one is the best we've ever done. Highly recommended!
Absolutely loved the trip! Got amazing views and a great tour from the pilot. Highly recommend taking lots of personal photos/videos while you're up there!
What a fantastic way to see all of Oahu. Our pilot was great. Very knowledgeable and very skilled. Ground crew and drivers were lovely. Highly recommend this company.
Its was amazing and best Tour with out door
Pilot experienced and Professional

Big Mahalo for All stuff help .
Beautiful company ,
Thank You
beautiful ride I loved it. .without the awesome doors!!! 🙂
It was a beautiful ride! Its truly allowed me to see incredible sights of the island
We loved our helicopter tour! It was the best part of our trip.
The pilot and hubby talked me into doors off- how great it was, not scary at all, just the wind that made hanging on to everything and trying to take photos a little difficult. Disappointed that hubby got to see all the beach and sea and I got to see all the mountains and forest as that was the direction we were going- an idea would have been to turn at times though maybe this couldn't be done. The ground crew were exceptional! Nothing was too big an issue for them. I would love to do it again and fly over Diamond Head this time!
Our experience with Novictor was excellent, from the first call for information, through the booking process, to getting picked up and delivered, and instructions before the flight. And then the flight! Absolutely choose doors off! We felt very safe, don't let fear stop you! And the hour went by in a blink! Great tour with fun information shared. I want to do this again!
Our pilot was professional and knowledgeable. The whole experience was amazing and I'm glad we did it!

Taneka –
It was a very nice experience! Sweet pilot. Breathtaking views.
Mariia –
Unforgettable experience! We took doors off and it was the best decision. Our pilot Catherine told us a lot of interesting things about Oahu. Thank you so much guys.
Barnaby –
This tour was awesome! My pilot Sarah was super friendly, full of cool information, and of course a great pilot! Hands down would recommend to anybody!
Derek Fry –
What an adventure! We thoroughly enjoyed the island tour. We were able to see things we never could have on the ground. Our pilot, Kat, was exceptional. Not only was she a great pilot, but very knowledgeable on the island sites. I really appreciated the fact she was able to keep my wife calm during the turbulent areas and make this a very memorable experience for both of us. The first thing we did when we got home from the vacation was to watch the video. Such a wonderful reminder we will have of this trip. I am so glad we chose NOVICTOR for our tour!!! Would recommend this tour to everybody, and will definitely take it again on our next trip to Hawaii!
Teresa Hess –
We are so glad that we were able to experience Oahu from the Rainbow Helicopter tour! It was definitely a highlight of our vacation! Our pilot was great-she was able to share with us all of the sites that we were experiencing!
Melissa –
Awesome experience! Highly recommend!!
T Tobler –
The flight was smooth, our Pilot, Sarah, was a great tour guide and the scenery and views were spectacular. Would definitely fly with them again.
Bruce Milroy –
Best tour in Hawaii. The views from the air were spectacular. Everyone we encountered from the time we checked in to the conclusion of the tour were friendly and professional. Our pilot Sarah was awesome. I would definitely recommend this tour and Rainbow helicopter
DebW –
LOVED this tour! My first helicopter ride, doors off! So fun! Out pilot Geoff was great too. Thank you for the fun time and beautiful views from the sky.
Jim –
First time in a helicopter and we went doors off, Sarah was our pilot, she was awesome and gave us a great tour. It was a little hard to hear and communicate, but once we got going we got the hang of it and it was nice to communicate with our pilot and ask dumb tourist questions. It was a very smooth flight for the most part, a few up and downs due to the winds, my wife is prone to motion sickness and she just took a Dramamine to help settle herself. Some things to know, you can tip your pilot after your flight once you get back in the office if you feel the need to, I did, if you have longer hair it will get tangled up pretty good and you have to leave your wallet in the office (I didn’t like this as it wasn’t locked). You can bring your cell phone, they provide a neck strap but my phone was very difficult to take pictures through the plastic, but my son had no problem so it was probably something I wasn’t doing right. I would highly recommend this once in a life time experience, as we made life long family memories.
Meghan Kermeen –
Our helicopter tour was amazing! All staff were very kind. We had Paul as our pilot and he was very knowledgeable and made the tour so enjoyable. This was our first time on a helicopter and we felt very safe and would definitely recommend this to anyone!
John Fatuzzo –
Excellent guides and view. Unbelievable scenery. Hard to explain in words. Each second or picture is worth a thousand words. You simply have to experience it.
Kelsey –
This was such a wonderful view of the island! Paul was an excellent tour guide! It was amazing to drive around the island one day and then get to see all of those things again from the air. Such an incredible experience!
Linda Chen –
very good tour. nice pilot and very beautiful view!
Stephanie –
This was an incredible experience. I really wish we did this first! Gave lots of ideas of cool things to do. We did doors off and it was awesome. I loved every moment! The views and seeing the island from the air was the best experience!
Vitali –
Excellent adventure! We took a doors-off 1-hour trip, it was very interesting experience. Though it can be very windy, my wife said she wanted to have a scarf to protect her neck.
Rich Johnson –
Enjoyed an early afternoon doors-off 60 minute tour of Oahu. Awesome experience. Pilot was very informative on the sites we passed on the island. I would highly recommend it. Will fly again next time we are in Oahu. Mahalo to Rainbow Helicopters
Nick & Erin Pathiakis –
Great tour. Best pilot and guide. Worth the investment. Great way to see the areas you want to explore further from the ground on your time on this great island.
David –
Served in the military for 20 years.. it brought back some memories and it was one of the most beautiful scenery flies I have ever had. The pilot was very informative and was able to tell us all about the island. I would do this over and over again. Hats off to the Rainbow company and their expertise pilots.
Marcus Fritz –
Amazing!!!!
Jessica Bashaw –
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip and the professionalism of Rainbow Helicopters. Easy parking, easy directions/signage, easy check in. They make you put your phones in plastic carriers for safety but this did cause my phone to overheat. The headphones/mouthpieces weren’t cleaned in between passengers which would have been appreciated (covid or not) because you have the place the mouthpiece so close to your mouth.
It can get very warm if you’re sitting up front (with the doors on). We had one door off which helped with air flow and I was still cooking in the front.
We did this tour at the end of our trip which I recommend since you recognize landmarks and places you’ve been/visited; it gives you a stronger connection to the sites.
I’d recommend the company and the one hour tour.
Gina M Lawson –
It was great from beginning to end. All of the staff were very professional, friendly and helpful in getting us on and off the helicopter. The pilot was excellent and we learned he was the youngest pilot, hats off to him and may he be a valued employee for you in the years to come.
Marla –
Amazing island views with informative information. LOVED doors off! Would highly recommend!
Kunal Patel –
It was really awesome Trip. Our Pilot GEOFF awesome and had an amazing tour with breath taking views. Kudos to him. Even though weather was crazy he did tremendous job and shows us every single spot without missing them especially Oahu waterfall, he took us there two time and had close view. Worth every penny! I recommend to choose Rainbow Helicopters for your Oahu tour. Thanks guys!
Tom Cartwright –
This was the best helicopter tour that we have been on. Joey our pilot was very informative and knowledgeable about the area.The weather was perfect the views were spectacular we were even lucky enough to see pods of dolphins. Doors off was awesome I highly recommend it.Rainbow helicopter tours is top notch when it comes to a tour of the Island. We just want to thank you for an awesome time in the sky we really enjoyed it.
Renee –
Our tour was incredible! Our pilot was Karsen, who did a wonderful job pointing out sites. I have a fear of heights but couldn’t turn up the chance to do the one hour tour. We flew doors off, and I felt so safe and the helicopter was so smooth that I was able to really enjoy the flight. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!!
Ty Fields –
Absolutely fantastic experience, one that we will never forget… led by an amazing pilot! Best of all tours!
John Camilleri –
What an amazing tour. Sarah was great at giving us key details about the area. I would definitely fly with them again.
John Beadle –
We booked the Royal for a full island ride and it was well worth it. The pilot, Cat, was outstanding. She concentrated on safety and procedures while ensuring we had a great view. She was very professional. The only reason I did a 4 instead of 5 is because of the young ones attending to videos. There was more attention to their personal lives than their customers. Ours was ruined and we did not purchase even at a discount. Why purchase it if no guarantee that we would be in it. We would probably fly with them again.
LuAnne –
Very good. Always like going up into to the air on the helicopter. Kinda windy the day I went and Karsen handled the helicopter like a professional.
Ana –
Amazing experience with Joey as our pilot! Very informative! Thank you for the awesome experience!
Hector~ –
I had the opportunity to take my wife and kids (11-19) in a helicopter that fit seven of us comfortably (including the pilot), with each seat having a spectacular view! The pilot made us feel comfortable with his skills and abilities after sharing his long years of service in the military and flying many missions. The pilot did a great job of pointing out all of the landmarks along the way, making us laugh throughout most of the flight.
Bill and Sandy Penman –
Staff was great, Joey the pilot was even better. Very personable and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Rainbow and Joey
Tammy Balyeat –
Very professional pilot and staff was wonderful. The view was just breathtaking. Would recommend the doors off experience to everyone
Erika Nevares –
I never thought I would go on a helicopter tour, much less in Hawaii, so when the opportunity came up I took it, and I’m so glad I did! The views were stunning! I am afraid of heights, but I was so in awe of the beauty of Hawaii that I didn’t even think about how high up we were and the fact that there were no doors on our helicopter! Our tour guide, Cat, was great and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!
Chris –
Fantastic trip! Pilots were skilled aviators and provided great information about the island. Aircraft and equipment were comfortable. I would definitely fly with them again. My only negative comment is that we were supposed to be in one large helicopter, but they rescheduled us to 2 small helicopters (which was fine), and then wanted to charge us extra for a video of the second trip, so we ended up with only one video.
Karen –
Sarah was amazing! Tour was amazing and well worth the money!
Troy –
We had an amazing 60 min flight around Oahu. They were efficient and made the whole process so easy. Our pilot, Josh, did a great job, and the flight was smooth and beautiful. Would highly recommend Rainbow!
Roberto/Lourdes Gutiérrez –
We travel a lot worldwide. And I have to say that this was one of the most fantastic experiences we’ve ever had. We booked the full hour tour, doors off. The ground crew was great in preflight. The helo was great and comfortable and the pilot, Sarah, she was great. Pointed to all the important sites and gave us a very comfortable ride. And I should know. I’m a pilot and I know she had to deal with some winds, but she knows her route very well and we had a very smooth ride. The route was well planned and we got to see everything. The views were amazing. The videos and pictures we took are incredible. And Sarah made it a point that both sides of the helo could get good shots. It was our most memorable experience of our Hawaiian trip. I definitely recommend Rainbow Helicopters. 100%. Thank you for making this part of our trip very memorable. I highly recommend them.
Jen Thomson –
Matt was great and we would definitely recommend a ride with him to friends and family. We rode 60 min doors off and it was incredible.
Brian Shurer –
Joey was extremely knowledgeable and was great for our trip around Oahu. Amazing overall and would highly recommend this tour!!!
Debby Montgomery Johnson –
Had an amazing time with Joey at the controls!! Everyone pre-and-post ride were professional and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. The flight was just what I needed to get an overview of Oahu – done a lot of driving around but with a “birds eye” view I found my bearings! Highly recommend for any visitors – did open door and the ONLY time I felt like I needed a “grab par” was going over the beautiful waterfall as Joey got up close!! Fun Fun Fun!
Jorge –
Excellent aerial view of Oahu. All staff very professional and super friendly. Our pilot Josh was very informative. Recommend
Albert Holt –
The one-hour, door-off tour met and exceeded expectation! The service was wonderful. All of the staff were friendly, courteous, and professional. The helo and gear are top-shelf. I highly recommend Rainbow Tours.
Kristopher Prusac –
Fantastic trip and beautiful views. Our pilot Sarah was amazing and super friendly. I feel like I would have really missed out if we wouldn’t have taken the helicopter tour of the island.
Thamara –
Rainbow provided us with an unforgettable experience!!! This was, by far, one of the coolest things we had the chance to do in Oahu. The staff was incredibly friendly & informative. Definitely add it to your bucket list!
Dawn Gatherwright –
Absolutely amazing!
Dalton Williams –
Amazing experience. Josh was a great pilot and guide. The tour of the island should be on everyone’s bucket list for a visit to O’ahu. Doors off is really the way to go. Be prepared to take pictures of a lifetime!!
Abigail Petrilla –
Really awesome tour! Our pilot, Sarah, was also great
Pochen yang –
The tour is great. Corey did a great job talking to us and fly us home safely. The experience is perfect and exactly what I expected. I love how we fly close to the fall; it’s a little scary but still a lot of fun.
janet –
Amazing! Such a great experience
Nicole –
The helicopter ride was awesome! Even with doors off it felt so safe and allowed me to just enjoy the spectacular views.
James –
The employees and flight was all spectacular. Very smooth flight and knowledgeable pilot. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
Karl –
Very good way to start a vacation! You’ll get all the highlights of the island and a little local history! Well worth it
George R Sachs –
Great experience. Excellent pilot (Sarah) Awesome ride Loved every moment
Phil Silvio –
Excellent tour. Toby was great, the ride was really smooth and comfortable. Not a rating on the tour, but if you have a larger group and going up with the larger helicopter you might not get to see everything from the center seats. To rectify this you should take the doors off to have unobstructed views. But the tour and everything itself was fantastic.
christin –
Had a fabulous time on our helicopter tour. Absolute highlight of our trip!
Randy Gillespie –
Fantastic!!! Our pilot was great and took us to all the most beautiful places!!
Heidi –
This was our second helicopter tour while in Hawaii, so it was hard to not compare the two. The check-in process, option of doors off, and the views were outstanding. We had a few suggestions: the pilot to talk more during the tour as we were wanting to know more details and the history about the island, spending just a little more time at the big scenic areas that were advertised (ie waterfall) especially since we were unable to view the entire tour due to cloud coverage. Overall, the tour was good and would still recommend.
Ron Partlow –
We had a fantastic time and were blown away with the unbelievable experience. We are so happy we did it. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the island…and make sure you go DOORS OFF!
Debbie –
A MUST DO if you visit Honolulu. The views are to die for.
I would recommend to do it with the doors off, to get the full experience.
Monte Swanson –
Very well organized, we had a blast with Riley, went doors off and thats the only way to do it, only 5 degree difference.
Gary –
Great experience!
Kabren –
Awesome experience doors off! Riley our pilot was fantastic!
Marisol –
Out of all the things to do in Hawaii this is a must !!! The views were Stunning! The ppl were friendly. I was just not aware we would be sharing the helicopter with other ppl but it’s was worth it!
Dannette –
Awesome! A must do! It is the Best way to see all of Oahu! We saw humpback whales, 2 lighthouses, sacred falls, etc. truly wonderful experience!
Jonathan –
Super fun experience. Awesome way to see they whole island
Britnee –
There’s truly nothing like seeing the island from above, flying over places you’ve adventured and seeing rainbows in the sky!
Paolo Amado –
It was a great experience especially on Christmas Day. My 11 year old son conquered his fear of heights with the amazing piloting of Corey. Thank you Rainbow Team for making this once in a lifetime experience happen.
Robert Breuer –
Professional, accommodating, with no issues other than rain! Recommended to friends already.
Tanaka Dune –
Excellent tour! Amazing. We took the 1 hr tour!
Udaya Dhimal –
The helicopter tour was Awesome. The views from the sky to the beach and Diamond Head was Spectacular,Gorgeous. Pilot was describing every scene and places. Very Informative.
Randi –
Adam was an amazing guide/pilot and very knowledgeable of all the sights. There are not enough words to describe how great this experience was. The entire staff is friendly, helpful, and professional. The atmosphere while waiting was chill yet informative which greatly helps ease any anxieties you may have about flying. If you can, splurge and do the one hour tour. So worth it!
Irina Brovtchenko –
What an amazing breathtaking experience! I wish the camera would capture the sides of the helicopter as well! Loved watching the video and reliving it again! Highly recommend! Def doing it again!
Cheryl Johnson –
Worth every penny!
Calvin and Amber Hullett –
This doors off flight is a must do. If you think Hawaii is beautiful, you haven’t seen the real beauty until you take this flight. Worth every penny. Bastian, our pilot was awesome! Extremely skilled and knowledgeable. The entire staff were pros. Treat yourself to this!
John Mc –
An amazing ride. Saw so much of Oahu. Sarah is a wonderful pilot and did a great job explaining what was coming into view and why it was important. It was the smoothest helicopter ride I have ever been on. Thank you
Lisa Williams –
Absolutely wonderful time. Pilot was great and very informational. Views are stunning. Everyone was so friendly and you can tell they love what they do. Highly recommend!
Suzanne Clemons –
We had an amazing time on our helicopter tour of Oahu with Rainbow Helicopter. Our pilot, Bastian was very knowledgeable and I felt completely safe. The registration process, safety briefing and process to go out to the airfield was well organized and thorough. I will definitely be a return customer the next time we are on Oahu! Highly recommended!
Larry Epperson –
The Rainbow team were excellent , great time
Makenzi –
Awesome time! Our pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was amazing to see the whole island from up above. Worth it!
Alisha Thomas –
This was one of the most thrilling things I have ever done. We saw the world from the perspective of a bird. Totally different than the world in an airplane with small windows to the outside. We rode with no doors and felt 100% safe – slightly windblown, but that’s to be expected. And you could see the views without the glare of the glass. I would absolutely recommend it without the doors on. The sound dampening headphones were great – we could still hear the beating of the rotors, but it was so muted you could barely tell. The ride was totally worth the cost. The crew was professional and very helpful. They even took a video of our experience – what we saw and then our reactions. Would absolutely do this again!
Thomsen –
Very enjoyable flight!
Lana –
Really enjoyed our Royal Crown of Oahu flight with Karsen! Such gorgeous and varied scenery with a little information about the places we were seeing. The left rear window was excellent for doors off photography. And super scenic places were viewed from both sides to ensure everyone on the flight could see too 🙂
Jake –
Great family fun. Everyone had a blast!
Cara –
Joey was an outstanding pilot! We had the best time!
Julia Light –
Picture perfect day with a knowledgeable pilot who was happy to engage in conversation. Facility was very clean and modern. Would recommend the experience to anyone who may be on the fence
Emily –
My 7 year old twins and I had an unforgettable tour with Karsen. Good details and history of significant places and the views were amazing.
Ben Vasquez –
My wife and I visited O’ahu for our honeymoon and booked the hour long Royal Crown Rainbow Helicopter Tour and it was one of the best experiences we could have imagined! Everything about the experience exceeded our expectations and then some. Our pilot was super friendly and did a great job pointing out and providing bits of information about all the interesting sites on the island. The Odesza-style music playlist through the headset was an added benefit perfect for an island as beautiful as O’ahu. Would absolutely recommend Rainbow Helicopter to anyone interested in a breathtaking arial tour of Hawaii’s capital island!
Julie Nix Quevedo –
Love Rainbow, they are like a well oiled machine! Easy and convenient online booking. Ground staff is professional and friendly. Corey, our pilot is super knowledgeable and friendly. The ride was smooth and comfortable and he pointed out landmarks. Airfield easy to find and plenty of free/safe parking. We did the doors on because this was our first time, next time doors off!!
Shannon Buff –
We had a terrific time on our tour and our pilot was great telling us what we were seeing below. Highly recommend
Michael Corso –
Josh was a great pilot. Wish the video was more focused on just us and not the others in the tour.
anton –
was a great heliride. our pilot riley is super cool. we loved his decent and easy attitude.
Sherri Abrahams –
We had a great time!!! Josh told us so much about the places we were seeing. Loved seeing Hawaii from the air!
Teresa Tucker –
Excellent experience and loved our pilot
Nicole –
One of the best experiences My husband and I did! It was so amazing getting to see the island at different views. It was a little windy and raining at times but still came out with beautiful photos!
Jeffrey Robert Moss (MossY) –
One of the best helicopter tour companies in the world. Woman owned and operated. Owner is one of the pilots. Total professional operation. From safety briefings, personal flotation devices, line staff, check in staff and pilots. I’ve been a professional aviator for many years and this one safe, efficient great operation. 5-Stars !
Luis Felipe Andrade –
Una experiencia inolvidable. Espectacular y espectacular el servicio y la atención de todos los empleados desde la llegada hasta la ida. Nuestro piloto fue el mejor. Nos hizo sentir muy seguros, fue muy cordial y profesional en todo. Muchas gracias. Los recomiendo al 200% y de seguro volveremos. Gracias.
Jeffrey c Sizemore –
Wonderful experience
Janet –
The tour was beautiful. Our pilot, Josh, was amazing; especially with take off and landing, it was smooth. The only reason why I didn’t give 5 stars because they did not give us any opportunity to take any picture in front of the helicopter. We literally had to beg for ONE picture. Yeah we got pictures of the island from top but what about our pictures in front of the chopper itself?? That itself is a memory!!
L –
We were blown away by the incredible views and vistas. Our Pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly. We truly enjoyed the one in a lifetime opportunity. Thanks!
Karla Delgado –
Escort that drove us to helicopter was not clear with her directions.
Pilot was very knowledgeable and professional. Everyone else was great.
The whole experience was unforgettable. Thank you!
Brooke –
The pilot and the flight itself was great. He was professional, fun, knowledgeable and entertaining. He made the tour a blast!! My husband and I absolutely loved seeing the island from a different perspective.
My review isn’t to be negative about the flight, but to be transparent about what to expect.
After booking the doors off flight online and being told one of us would be in the front and the other would be in the back, we checked in to find out that we were on a bigger helicopter with another group. We walked into a debriefing room where we put on safety vest packages around our waist, received goggles for those who were on the outer seats, and leave the items not allowed on the flight.
We arrived at 2:00 like recommend, with about 10 minutes of brief, checking in. After an hour wait, 2:58 we left on a golf cart to meet the helicopter. It was a very tight squeeze in the back. My arms were borderline pinned to my side with a smaller indivual (seat 4) to my left and my husband (seat 6), who is a fairly big guy on my right. However when the second customer decided to move his son last minute to the front, the cushion for seat 4 in the back was taken out so that it wouldn’t fly away in the air. Which left me, in seat 5 (Second in from the right) with way more room thankfully, but then half my butt on the cushion and the other half without a cushion, the entire flight. This, as well as the seat location, made it very challenging to photograph anything. However the pilot made sure to turn in a way that gave me a chance to see the view.
Having the doors off made it exciting, however the customer to my left, his back cushion was pulling up from the wind so it pulled my left side up as well. This was very uncomfortable and left me sore the following morning. However I didn’t really mind it since our pilot was communicating back and forth about the island, and answering our questions.
I would highly recommend a private flight, especially for broader men, and consider doors closed to have all the cushions on the helicopter. The windows were clean and could be photographed through, however I am not sure about having the same visibility as doors off.
Roy –
Best thing we ever did in our life! Great experience.
The organizers were very professional and the whole things went without the smallest glitch.
Our pilot, Oliver, was a great company too. He was happy to answer questions and would give us relevant info during the ride.
Liana –
EPIC! Went doors off and the views were absolutely incredible, what an experience. Special mention to the staff who were friendly and professional throughout the trip. As well as the pilot, he made me feel safe as soon as I stepped onto the helicopter and so extremely knowledgeable. Great way to see this beautiful island. TOTALLY recommend this company.
Liana
Jonathan –
An amazing experience not to be missed!!! Very professional service. Harley, our pilot, was excellent and guided us around the key sights. A family trip we will never forget.
Shelby –
Joey was absolutely the best! So fun and informative. Our flight was amazing, going down near the waterfall was thrilling. None of us had been on a helicopter. We felt completely secure, and would recommend the tour to anyone!! Completely made our trip!
Alexandra Moren –
Absolutely such an amazing way to experience O’ahu! One of the most memorable parts of our trip. Cory was calm, knowledgeable, very friendly, and flew around our wedding venue when we pointed it out. Doors off is not nearly as scary as we imagined. Rainbow Helicopters is HIGHLY recommended.
James Michel –
Our grown daughter lives on Oahu. This was our first trip to the islands and our first helicopter flight. We had a great experience. Our pilot was informative and fun.
Nora –
Excellent! Very fun & cool pilot! Harley gave us a good tour of the island.
T.H. –
Booked last-minute with no hassle. Instructions were clear and concise as to where to show up and begin the tour. All staff, including Kyle (our pilot), were incredibly professional in topping off our Hawaii family vacation. We enjoyed every minute of it. If you’re wondering about taking your littles on this ride (in my case, a 4 YO toddler and a 1 YO), Rainbow was more than accommodating and they had a blast. Both ended up napping during the tour which any parent would appreciate.
Thanks again, Rainbow! Great value and experience.
Belinda –
Amazing experience!
Ken Kruse –
Great trip. Got to see so much of Oahu from Honolulu to the east shore to the north shore and down to Pearl Harbor. Beautiful country. Waterfalls were awesome. Highly recommend
Michelle Tickle –
Our helicopter tour was fantastic!! The views were amazing, and we can’t say enough good things about our pilot, Oliver!! He is great! From Waikiki to the North Shore to Pearl Harbor, we will never forget it!!
Rick Majoskey –
Had a great time. A little windy but we had a great pilot. Oliver great job. Thanks again. Rick and Tracy.
Sarah –
Our pilot Oliver was so amazing and made me feel better because I was scared ****less. Beautiful views and loved the extra information you got whilst flying around. Would recommend
Dirk –
Cory did a great job of showing us the sites of Oahu. The ride was smooth, the chopper was well equipped, and importantly safety was first rate. Well done guys. Worth the dollars.
Marvin Napier –
Getting a bird’s eye view of the island was the best way to start our vacation. Josh was a great pilot he didn’t make any sudden movements of the R44 chopper. Was such a great choice to do the doors off flight. Beautiful.
Melissa Dorchak –
Was amazing and the best time
Karen Crnogorac –
This was the most amazing experience, Joey our pilot was a born and bread Hawaiian from Oahu, so had lots of knowledge about the Island.
Everything was seamless, from check-in to the safety procedures to the actual flight.
My only suggestion would be to charge $20 more and give passengers the flight recording.
I would definitely recommend Rainbow Helicopters, it was wonderful.
Daniel Fernandez –
Amazing experience for my wife and I! I would highly recommend it
DJ –
We were seriously considering booking another helicopter tour soon as we touched back down. Cory was amazing! Was wonderful to find out our pilot lived not too far from us for 10 years. Makes the experience that much more personal and he was great in giving us facts and tips during our flight. Honestly the helicopter tour was the highlight of our trip! Highly recommend rainbow helicopters to everyone who makes a trip to Hawaii.
Brenda Bernard –
This was a highlight of my vacation. Our pilot was wonderful!!!!
M. CARTER –
Our group of 4 had an excellent time on the 60-minute tour around the island. Oliver was a great pilot and tour guide. I highly recommend this tour, a must do!
Chrystal –
The ride was incredible and the staff are so friendly. Pilot Corey was excellent and really gave us a phenomenal experience. It was safe and we saw so many sites. Everything was beautiful and ran smoothly. I would highly recommend the Royal Crown of Oahu tour to everyone. You won’t be disappointed.

It was a highlight of my trip to Hawaii. I had already rented a motorcycle and toured from the ground. It was nice to see it all from the air. Perfect weather day and awesome front seat view.
Celina Minton –
Riley was great! All staff was awesome!
Robert Pagett –
It was more than we had hoped for! Oliver was not only an excellent pilot but was very personable and knowledgeable about island history.
D. Parmer –
Great flight all around and great customer service. Our flight started with a greeting by the Crew at the reception desk and a quick and simple safety video. Then a quick ride out to the aircraft where our pilot Riley already had the aircraft running and waiting for us to load. The flight was awesome to say the least. Being an old Army Aviation mechanic and door gunner from Afghanistan it brought back some great memories to fly with doors open and feel the wind filling the aircraft! Riley kept us at a nice smooth level flight climbing to about 2500ft for one portion as we went around the whole island. He called out the sites and even circled around so people on the outside got a first hand view of the major sites. That was the fun part as the aircraft banked about 30 degrees in a very controlled 360 degree turn. Any tighter than that and my fiancé woulda crushed my hand!!!
Everyone gets a headset with mic and they worked fine but only me and my fiancé talked during the flight. This was her first helicopter flight so she was a bit nervous but the jitters wore off toward the end when she talked to the pilot. Riley was very confident, managing the aircraft, talking to other aircraft and us as well. He knows his stuff for sure. Overall it was a great time and worth every penny. I’d definitely do it again and highly recommend their service. Thanks for making the whole experience a great time.
Steven Kyle –
Helicopter flight was amazing and the pilot was very knowledgeable about the island. The staff made everyone feel welcomed from the moment you stepped inside the doors and the wait really did go by fast, and the helicopter went by even faster
Billy Hunt –
Amazing time in the Air with Kyle! Explained so much about the island and aviation! Super easy to hold a conversation and enjoy the ride at the same time! 100% would go again!
Maddie –
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.
Christian –
Absolutely amazing tour around most of the island, with interesting factoids along the way. Our pilot was an absolute pro and made us feel very comfortable. 100% recommended and would do again!
Brett Singleton –
Our tour of the island was amazing. Riley did a great job!
Gary Hanson –
Magnificent! Glad we did a full hour. Been in a lot of helicopters. Pilot was excellent. Views were terrific. Safety measures were professional.
Mike Daley –
We had a great flight and enjoyed the scenery! The Pilot was extremely knowledgeable regarding the sites! It was spectacular!
Brandi Brumley –
Awesome views, great information. Glad we did it
Shelley Alambra –
Had we had to cancel due to Covid. The refund process was easy and quick.
Amanda Alcanter –
Amazing tour. Highly recommend. All the staff were very pleasant and professional. Our pilot, Harley, was great.
Derrick –
After searching numerous helicopter companies, this was one of the highly rated companies that could accommodate a group of four. The only frustrating aspect I dealt with was after using the companies online booking. As I completed all of the information and paid for the booking. Then I received a text that the timeslot that I just paid for was not available. After some back and forth texting and phone calls, they were able to accommodate us one hour earlier than desired. This was okay but caused some rushing around on our part to ensure that we got to the facility in enough time. Once there, all of the staff was pleasant and helpful. Our pilot, Joey, is the only native Hawaiian pilot. I thought that Joey did a fantastic job flying us around and provided great information about the island and all of the landmarks. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience. As someone who does not typically splurge on purchases, I am glad that I chose the 60-minute flight. I believe it was well worth it.
Sandra King –
We flew with Riley. He gave an awesome tour. Everyone was very professional and friendly
Jennifer Chapman –
Fabulous! We had doors off. Rainbows followed us the whole way around. We got lucky and had a small helicopter so we were the only passengers, and I got to sit in the front!
Smooth ride, partner gets motion sickness but wasn’t affected by it for this. I’m a nervous flyer and I was fine. Wore a long sleeve tee, it was only a little chilly up there, apparently about 5 degrees colder than on the ground (they said).
Highly recommend.
Elliott Stokes –
Simply outstanding! The entire group had a ball and the pilot was as smooth as peanut butter on velvet. We’ll be talking about our tour for years to come. Thanks for an outstanding experience!
Jasmine –
Great experience ever. With the doors off. Thank you Josh for giving us a wonderful tour of Hawaii
Fiona Smith –
What a fantastic experience, Harley took us up on our flight and was so knowledgeable and showed us so much of the island. Will be one of those memories that we will always cherish. Highly recommend to anyone. Thank you for a beautiful tour
Fiona –
SUPERB, EXCELLENT, AMAZING – our pilot was Harley, he was so knowledgeable about the island. He took us over the beautiful blue seas & mountains, finishing with a flight over Pearl Harbour, really a must for anyone’s trip to Honolulu. Thank you Rainbow Helicopters (Harley) & the staff for a special trip that we will remember always
Paul Bartley –
An overall brilliant experience. Oliver, our pilot, was very informative on all things scenic Ouha has to offer. A must if visiting this amazing island to get a true reflection of it’s natural beauty. Thanks you very much Guys!
Karen and Ashley –
Our tour and our pilot, Harley, were absolutely amazing! It was so beautiful. Harley was so friendly and knowledgeable. It couldn’t have been any better! Mahalo!
Noel T –
It was a spectacular trip, highly recommend anyone who is thinking about taking a helicopter ride. Josh our pilot for this trip was amazing, very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. Definitely would recommend using rainbow helicopter for an amazing experience.
Gus –
We had a great time. The weather was perfect and the flight was smooth. The only constructive criticism is to have more narration from the pilot on history and more details of key sites throughout the flight. The pilot did point out some locations but a little more insight and details would be have been helpful. There was lots to take in from a passenger’s perspective, and the helicopter had a time schedule so going slower or hovering to create time to ask questions was not realistic. Overall, a great time and would recommend this trip to anyone who has not seen Oahu from the air.
Matt Jackson –
Our pilot Harley was kick ass & the entire experience was smooth! Thank you so much!
Nancy Afaglo –
Very friendly staff
Jeff –
My wife and I have been living on island for 2 1/2 years which made this experience even more amazing. The helicopter tour was fun and the sights were breathtaking. We saw all of the places we know and love from a new perspective. This helicopter tour was definitely worth the money.
Gintare –
It was wonderful! Views amazing from up there. You get more of an idea what island really is. Pilot and team were great too! If you debating between tour operators this is a great choice. We had a wonderful time. Thank you!
Philip Yochum –
Couldn’t stump the pilot. Very knowledgeable. Co pant is very professional. Would recommend to anyone- doors off for sure !!!
Jody –
Amazing tour. Our pilot Oliver was fantastic and would highly recommend.
Christy S Kreger –
Josh was very knowledgeable. He had a wonderful sense of humor, which made the trip. I would definitely recommend Rainbow.
I am making a coffee table book of our trip. Is there anyway you may email a picture of Josh, please.
Barbara Blanck –
Excellent experience. Conveniently located next to the airport, easy parking, comfortable waiting area, friendly staff to greet you and get you ready, amazing pilot, incredible sights all around the island – perfect trip all around!
Kim Pinales –
Fantastic, breathtaking tour! Our pilot, Harley, was excellent-very knowledgeable and friendly! Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Marcus Geiss –
Great tour and great pilot. It was a truly unforgettable experience. The only thing we didn’t like was that we booked a flight with closed doors but we were put together with a couple who booked open doors and therefore their door stayed open.
Jigesh Shah –
Fantastic experience – clean, professional, attention to safety. Our pilot was phenomenal, very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Great experience overall and would recommend them highly. We are a family of 4 with 2 kids that are 6 yrs old and they enjoyed it!
DN –
We had an amazing time on this ride. We had to land the first time shortly after we took off due to bad weather, but the entire team was very communicative and pleasant about it. We took of for the second time after 30mins or so, and our pilot Kyle was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and respectful and made us feel very comfortable. I would HIGHLY recommend using this company for an amazing helicopter tour of Oahu!
Ross McLaren –
Fantastic opportunity to see Honolulu from a different perspective. Rainbow were professional and their communication was concise from enquiry to flight. Only wish we had arranged the flight earlier in the trip to allow time to explore some great locations from the ground. Our pilot Kyle was awesome. He was engaging and provided lots of background as we navigated the island. A doors off flight is a must!
John Mcdonald –
Awesome tour great equipment and staff!
Sara –
Booked a 6 person and a 4 person helicopter in July of 2022 for our group of 8. Both Flights were full of breath taking views and plenty of amazing photo opportunities. Pilots were very informative and gave us fun facts about what we were seeing. Your seating arrangement is determined based on your weight and balancing the helicopter, however… there really is NO bad seat in the bird! Mahalo Rainbow Helicopters for our awesome flights!
Angel Carrizales –
Nothing but the best service with rainbow. Kyle was awesome as our pilot. Staff was on point. Best experience on the island by far. MAHALO!!!!
Bryce Kaiser –
Awesome staff and a great experience!
Jen –
Most amazing experience ever. Our guide, Kyle, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. You definitely see the island in a way you couldn’t otherwise. We felt completely safe, even with the doors off. This was the highlight of our trip and we haven’t been able to stop talking about it or looking at our pictures and videos!
Pele –
Amazing service, Fantastic one hour flight with Corey. 6 people open door helicopter- highly recommended. Very professional. You will not regret it. Mahalo Pele
Julie Williams –
Awesome ride. Harley kept the helicopter smooth. He provided great info, while still allowing us just to enjoy the ride. Truly amazing sights. Only complaint I have is that there was no confirmation/final invoice provided or sent following the trip.
Ryan –
It was an amazing experience. Our pilot was great.
Igor –
Just great.
David Rollason –
Fantastic, Jake our pilot was very knowledgeable of the area and just a really nice bloke! The young support staff were all very nice to talk to. Would definitely recommend Rainbow to our friends.
sharon Hancock –
My family of four were totally over the top with excitement and said everything about the helicopter tour was amazing and a must do with doors off. The only regret was : I had prepared an envelope for a tip ( as no one took their wallets ) based on what I had read on line to give to the pilot. Big mistake , as we would have given the pilot 3 times the amount . Because he made the experience wonderful. When I get back home and settle- I will be mailing Reily a check – Thank you Reily for being part of my family’s memories . this was better than a five stars and from what they told me.
Cheryl Everett –
We had a really wonderful flight with Harley. The weather cleared just in time for us to do our complete route as planned & we couldn’t be happier. We would absolutely take this tour again. 🙂
Michael Bolinger –
Our pilot, Harley was great. He was knowledgeable about the sites, good mix of interaction with time to take in the amazing views. Doors-off made the whole experience memorable. Highly recommend this tour.
Krys Kelly –
Awesome once-in-a-lifetime experience getting to see Oahu from the air. I surprised my partner with a doors off 60 min tour and he was so happy! We also felt totally safe and secure even with the doors off- it was exciting but not scary at all! Our pilot was great and even swung in a bit closer over the USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor for my partner to get some good photos after he told him his father was in the navy in WWII. Totally worth it and I hope we get to do this again someday!
Mary Cugola –
It was wonderful, seeing the island form the air is a great experience. My husband has been wanting to fly in a helicopter from a very young age, at 63 years of age he has finally had the experience. Josh, our pilot was very knowledgeable and an awesome pilot.
Mary Cugola –
We are 2 Aussie couples who took to the skies with Josh from Rainbow helicopters a few days ago, he was very knowledgeable and gave us a great overview of the island. It was the highlight of our holiday and will definitely do the Rainbow flight again even though I suffered a little motion sickness right at the end it was so worth it
Willi Kreutzer –
We had an amazing time with Kyle. We even saw a halo rainbow 100% recommended
Terri & Jim –
Amazing tour! Highly recommend taking the “doors-off” option. Our pilot was professional and informative. Cory did an amazing job of ensuring a safe/smooth ride, while also pointing out the sights. Props to the ground crew as well. Best way to see Hawaii! Mahalo!
Debra King –
Was the best thing I’ve ever paid for/done in my life!!! Joe, our pilot was fabulous!!
Leanne –
The ride was amazing! Our pilot, Corey, was excellent. He highlighted the best sites but otherwise let us enjoy the view! Highly recommend!
Ally Burt –
Our pilot Joey was amazing! We saw all of the beauty Oahu has to offer from the air. Flying over Pearl Harbor was especially cool to see.
ChangYun Liu –
Love this tour definitely worth it, not just enjoy the magnificent mountain/beach view also the pear harbor(recommend going to pearl harbor museum before this) plus the pilot(Joey) is so friendly, more than a tour guide, sharing the memory of this land. Thanks so much, we definitely recommend all my friends doing this when they are here.
Johan Grundstrom –
We went for the full loop of the island and it was definitely the highlight of our holiday. Oliver was a great pilot doing some rather fancy moves and was very knowledgeable.
Theresa –
Awesome experience. Doors off excellent for pictures!
Tammy & Audra –
Fantastic doors off experience even though we had some clouds and rain. Our pilot Kyle was pleasant and very knowledgeable. This has become one of our top tourist attractions we have done.
Janet –
We loved the tour. Matt was great! Views were fabulous. Doors off was great choice. We had a wonderful experience!
Viktoriia –
Thank you for the tour. Doors off was not scary at all but with better view. The pilot Oliver was good.
Johnette Litteer –
Amazing doors off experience around the island with my daughter! Harley was an AMAZING pilot AND tour guide! Many kudos to Harley!
Jackie Rodriguez –
What a great experience. The pilot was well trained and experienced and very knowledgeable of everything we flew over. Highly recommend.
Christina –
Amazing last minute decision and definitely worth it. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Our pilot Riley did an exceptional job ensuring we got the most out of our ride. Definitely a highlight of our trip. Mahalo!
Leticia –
Amazing!! Thank you for being able to accommodate a last minute seat. Pilot was amazing.
Juan Carlos Flamand –
Great experience! Definitely something to do. The hour long flight was just long enough and the pilot, Kyle, was knowledgeable and personable. Having the doors off is worth it for the unobstructed views and experience.
Christine Boudreault –
AMAZING!! Perfect in every way. Josh our pilot was the best!! He was friendly,funny and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend a Rainbow Helicopter tour. Thanks Josh for the memories my family will treasure for a lifetime.
Sandra Herrmann –
Amazing! Had the front seat and probably the best view! Would recommend doing the one hour tour!
Dr. Morcease Beasley –
It was a breathtaking experience and view that only a helicopter ride could provide. The pilot was informed and engaging. I would recommend this experience to all wishing to view and circle the island from the air in 1-hour.
Rich Carpenter –
We did the Royal crown of Oahu on Saturday, October 8th and our pilot was Rylie. Fantastic trip. First time being in a helicopter for us, and with the doors off, it was even more spectacular. Felt safe the entire trip, and our pilot did a great job pointing out the sites. It’s a must do trip. Next time we are in Hawaii it will be on our list to do again.
Jackie & Brian Wilson –
Oliver was very professional and genuinely concerned about his passenger’s experience. My husband and I truly enjoyed our “doors” off tour of the island. It was amazing!!
Ronald Linares –
Great experience.
Our pilot Riley did a great job.
Tabitha –
Excellent experience!!! I would definitely recommend it to put on your vacation to do list!!
Marine Duvocelle –
Wonderful flight with a fantastic pilot !
Tobias gave us many explanations, showed us the most beautiful place. The 60 minutes tour is breathtaking and an unforgettable experience with such a great pilot… Thanks a lot, Tobias
Jill shaw –
Loved everything about it . Got to go open door makes all the difference.
Chris Goblirsch –
We spent 8 hours in a van “touring” the island on Wednesday. We spent an hour in the air on Thursday with Rainbow helicopters. The one hour in the air provided better views, context and content than any of Wednesday. I strongly recommend doing the one hour flight. If you can do “doors off,” it provides so much more visibility at the risk of tangled hair (wear a hoodie, put the hood on!). Rainbow was very accommodating and did everything they could to make our trip safe and enjoyable. Our pilot Kerry was awesome, making sure we were comfortable, knew what we were looking at and also made sure I got the opportunity to get some priceless pictures. Excellent flight, awesome memories and fantastic pictures. Thank you Rainbow Helicopters (and especially Kerry!!!)
Corey Scott –
Excellent, saw everything I wanted to see from the air. Highlight of my week on the island.
Leah B –
We had an absolute blast on the tour of Oahu! What a great experience! I would definitely recommend it.
Julie P –
Tobias was an amazing pilot and the experience itself was spectacular. Thank you!
Bryon –
Kyle was so informative with facts that visitors want to know. He made sure to give us a heads up of his maneuvering and checked on my wife when she seemed a little afraid. He is a skilled pilot and personable. Upon arriving, there were several signs to help us get to where we needed to be. The staff was very helpful and did a great job preparing us for our flight. Great experience!
Lu Ann Sims –
What an awesome experience we had.
Josh Eidson –
Awesome time on the helicopter! Oliver was a great pilot and went out of his way to be personable and check on everyone frequently during the flight. Gives you a whole new perspective of the area! Oliver did a great job giving both sides of the chopper great photo opportunities! A must do!
Mitzi –
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour by air of Oahu! Beautiful sights, safely flown; courteous staff, knowledgeable; Highly recommend. Nice video of flight also.
Christopher –
Excellent experience and premium 5 service. We did a on our last visit and went with doors off this time. If you have never had the experience, you are missing out. It is a once in a lifetime experience that I would recommend you don’t hesitate to do. Loved flying over the island over a 1000 feet high. Thank you so much Christopher
Anthony Velasquez –
We did the 60 minute door off tour and it was the BEST!!! Our pilot Oliver gave us a lot of detail of the island and also made sure we got some really good views to take picture of. 10/10 would recommend and would also try again !!!
Patricia –
We were a big concerned when we saw the dark clouds, but the staff assured us that with the bit of wind we were having it would not deter from our flight our views. Boy were they right! Starting with our wonderful pilot Harley explaining all we were going over and near. To my many questions. He was able to circle around a couple of areas so that I could get better pictures of the waterfalls and the AZ Memorial.
If you want to see the island and not have to rent a car or take a ground tour this is the way to go and do it with the doors off the views are that much more.
Patricia Dodd –
Our pilot, Kyle, was an excellent tour guide. He was knowledgeable of the area & its history. He made sure that we saw all the beautiful areas of Oahu. We were all genuinely pleased with our trip!
Maggie Rehm –
It was awesome!!!!!!! Such a smooth ride. Wonderful staff. Harley, our pilot, was great, answered questions and explained everything we were seeing. Even got little history lessons. The views are absolutely breathtaking.
I would highly recommend it, worth every penny. Will definitely do it again
John Smith –
Pro- Fantastic views with a little history thrown in.
Con- We paid for a 1 hr flight and got 46 minutes. No hover time.
John Smith
Jieyi Zhen –
It was a fun ride. Make sure to dress warm if you’re doing doors off ride. The staff is super nice and helpful along the way. People with long hair NEEDS to put it in a tight ponytail, preferably low ponytail. The winds whips your hair. For your comfort and those near you, please! It hurts… even the bangs.
Emmanuel –
A must do experience while on the island.
MTR –
This is a 5 star experience from start to finish! We flew with Tobias who was very knowledgeable and an excellent pilot! This is definitely worth it!
Patrick –
Ein wunderschöner Flug mit unserem Piloten Oliver. Wir hatten traumhaftes Wetter bei unserem Door off Flug. Ein Muss wenn man auf der Insel ist.
Christine –
We had Kyle as a pilot and he was great and narrated the whole flight. We all were impressed with Kyle!! The only thing is we booked a doors off and last minute we were told one door had to be closed. If it was for safety reasonings based on guest weight we would understand but we weren’t given a reason. Other than that, we loved it and I would definitely don’t again!
Mike –
Carson was an incredibly smooth pilot. Did an amazing job and was knowledgeable about the island. This tour was hands down the highlight of the week!
GG –
Amazing experience! Highly recommend it
tom hwang –
It was expensive but it was well worth it. It seemed to be very safe and fun. If you can afford it, then go.
Besides, EDDIE WOULD GO.
Margaret Grove –
A fantastic trip! I recommend the door off if you want to take photos. I was warned it would be a bit windy and cold but with the right clothes it was very comfortable.
It was a thrill flying over the island to get a perspective of all the different landmarks and cities. We saw lots of items of interest including Sacred Falls (only able to be seen from the air), the valley where lots of films/TV series were shot, Pearl Harbour and the North Shore where surfing competitions are held.
Karsen, our pilot was very competent and informative.
If you want to get an overview of Oahu, this is the perfect way to do it.
Jared M –
We had the doors off, Crown of Oahu flight/tour. Loved the experience. Great service. Our pilot Tobias was fantastic and was great at telling us what we were seeing. The whole operation felt very professional and safe. The price was competitive if not better than other options. The only thing keeping it from being a 5 star review is the weather. Due to rain in spotty areas on the north shore we couldn’t see the entire route and had to make an alternate path that didn’t include the waterfall and big waves of north shore. Maybe next time.
Larry –
The doors off tour was exhilarating a truly first time experience for the three of us. We thoroughly enjoyed our time from take off to landing. Kerry, our pilot was amazing, knowledgeable, very courteous and accommodating!
Jerry Pilkington –
We had a great time. Our pilot Karsen was awesome. Was great to get a view of the island that we normally would not have gotten. The only disappointment was that the door was on, we had requested doors off, but other than that we loved the entire tour.
ALLISON DART –
This was a wonderful experience! We did the hour long doors off tour and loved it. The whole team was great and our pilot JoJo was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
David Hatfield –
It was canceled due to bad weather. The staff was very good.
Lynn –
Thanks for a special memory! I enjoyed the ride and getting some photos so unlike any you can get from the ground. I was sorry we couldn’t see the waterfall and Pearl Harbor but I understand the safety needs concerning weather/rain/cloud cover…..I appreciate you fitting me in after my flight the day before (different company) was cancelled and they had no openings for several days. Thanks all the kind and friendly staff and to Oliver (pilot)! And last but not least I loved having the doors off, really added to the experience!
Ayako Hayashida –
Of course it was pricey, however, this experience was extraordinary! I highly recommend.
Also, all staff there were super nice. We asked some requests on the day, they tried to be flexible.
Thank you so much!
Wendy –
What a great aerial view of Oahu! From the easy online booking tool, quick response from customer service with details, easy check-in process, very pleasant facilities and staff, and a great pilot and guide (kudos to JoJo!), it was a seamless experience and worth it. I was a little worried weather might mess up the plans, but we had a break during that time and got to see quite a bit on the Royal Crown of Oahu tour, Definitely recommend Rainbow Helicopters – and if you are up for it, ‘doors off’ was a great option to take – take a sweatshirt or jacket if so! Mahalo!
Devendrasingh Tantod –
The ride was super cool and saw a bunch of Rainbows in the sky.
Jim Eggleton –
After 36 years in the Army, one more helicopter ride is not on the agenda. But my wife had never flown and it was my 70th birthday, so what the heck. We were so impressed from the front desk staff to the ground crew to the pilot Jo Jo to the beautiful well maintained aircraft, nothing could have been better. Except of course, the wonderful landscape and waters surrounding O’ahu. Thanks so much for a fantastic lifetime experience.
Norbert Nemeth –
Was an amazing Helicopter Island Tour with Tobias!
Tobias was an expert Driver, he knows everything about the Island!
I will recommend the company for my friends!
Mahalo Tobias!
Tank skal du ha Tobias!
🙂
Bernie K –
This is a great addition to any Oahu vacation! Our pilot was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the entire island. He pointed out all major areas and would pause so we could snap pictures. Great experience!!
Tim Fleming –
My wife and I really enjoyed the ride. Tobias our pilot was excellent and did a great job of pointing out most all of the top landmarks. The flight was smooth and comfortable all the way around the Island. The only downside was the time passed way too fast! Thank you Tobias for an experience of a lifetime.
John Senn –
We had Tobias as are captain and had an absolutely amazing experience. Tobias was very knowledgeable about the island and was able to take us to some amazing places. We choose the doors of experience and it was the perfect choice for are group. I would 100% recommend doing this if you can. You will get views of the island most people never see.
Ken –
It was amazing, words can’t describe the view
Bill K –
I would have given 5 stars if I could have gotten the video I prepaid for. I know I will get reimbursed but a corrupted video really kinda sucks
Aaron Bloom –
One of the most epic experiences with my son. from the pilot to the views, I cant recommend this more. Thanks for the awesome tour JoJo. I will be doing this again in the future for sure!!!
Nik C –
It was amazing! Our pilot Joey was very knowledgeable and fun as a guide. We were on a doors off tour and I would recommend it even for someone apprehensive about it. You get full view of the beautiful island and some areas you may not be able to get to on the ground.
Luis Medina –
Everything from the signage, facilities, crew and helicopter was great. The crew was welcoming and made the check-in process very easy, and along with their smiles made our first experience awesome. Our pilot Oliver was outstanding and interacted constantly with us, pointing key landmarks; the flught was smooth alll the way from beginning to end.
Thabks for the amazing experience!!!
Keith Groesbeck –
Awesome experience, start to finish 5++ stars!!
Staff were wonderfully informative and friendly, yet conveyed the required safety info clearly and professionally! Always felt they had it together, at every moment. I work as an aviation maintenance tech at a major airport. I know how a good ground crew can make or break an operation, and these people just plain nailed it. Really GREAT team !
Now on to the RIDE ! Captain of our Ship was Kyle. I cannot possibly say enough positive things about his skill, personality, professionalism and obvious passion and dedication to his craft. A true artist (without the quirks, lol).
I can honestly say the only thing wrong was I wish we had the whole evening. Kyle checked every possible box. Rainbows, waterfalls, whales!! He was super knowledgeable about the island (I wish we would have done the tour FIRST!).
We had a slightly ‘airsick’ passenger. As such, Kyle accommodated her condition, whilst not watering down the experience for the rest of us. Bravo, Captain!
Doors off is absolutely the way to go! I was on the outboard right side, and completely loved it. I’d go every day with Kyle, though I’m sure the rest of the pilot group is of similar caliber talent ( but request Kyle if you can – he’s that good – makes it seem ridiculously easy. And I know it is not!).
Am I satisfied? Completely. Would I recommend Rainbow? Without hesitation. Enjoy your adventure- we certainly did!!!
And a special final thanks to Kyle – I will never forget that flight !
Randi Andersen –
Amazing views, the only way to see some of the most beautiful island features
Jonathan & Abbie –
Our tour was amazing!!! JoJo was a fabulous pilot – so kind and knowledgeable of the island. He did a great job answering our questions. We did the doors-off tour, and I highly recommend it! I was very hesitant (mainly because of my fear of heights) but the views from air were simply breath-taking. JoJo took us by a waterfall, and it was so beautiful! It was incredible to see Pearl Harbor from the air, too. If you can, take the 60-minute tour – you won’t regret it! Also, a big thank you to the ground crew and office staff. They were so professional and kind the entire time! We had to wait a few minutes before getting into the helicopter, and the conversations we had with the crew on the tarmac was great! They were so fun to be around! Thank you again and I will definitely be recommending Rainbow Tours to everyone!
Chris –
Had so much fun, great way to see it all in one hour!
Howard Kemper –
Fabulous! I was flown over place I had already seen and places I had not been able to visit yet! Pilot was well trained and knowledgeable and the ground crew were professional and very kind to my family who waited for me. Highly recommend!
Dominga & Art Monreal –
We did a private, Royal Crown of Oahu, doors off tour. It was worth every penny. There are no words to describe this experience, JUST DO IT! It was by far the best excursion we’ve ever booked while on any vacation. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and efficient while prepping everyone to takeoff on time. Our pilot was Alex and he was amazing. He was very informative and knowledgeable of the entire island. He flew us over everything Oahu has to offer. To say the views are beautiful and breathtaking is an understatement. I literally cried… more than once. Lol. Simply gorgeous and incredible. We highly recommend doing a private doors off tour. One, you don’t have to share the experience with anyone but your group and two, you get to sit next to the door with absolutely nothing blocking your view. Omg! I can go on and on. 100000% the best! We’re in Oahu for a week. Flew in on a Friday afternoon and did this first thing Saturday morning. The best decision ever! We’ve been driving around visiting all the places we saw from the sky. We’re actually considering doing it again before we leave. This time with no cameras or gopros so we can just sit back and enjoy the views. Definitely going to request Alex for our pilot if possible. You will not regret this experience, Rainbow Tours is the best!
Janet Romero –
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!!!
Michael Mastelero –
Me and my partner did the doors-off tour. Best thing ever!
Tony, the pilot, was very informative and was able to share with us amazing views and tell us rich history of the island.
Belinda O’Neill –
JoJo did a great job showing us the sites! It was a beautiful tour! Thank you for convincing us to do it doors off! It was awesome!
Jen Struebing –
We had the best time on this tour! Our pilot Kerry was very knowledgeable about the island and made us feel at ease! Highly recommend to anyone!
John Dell –
Really fantastic experience – recommend it to anyone. Excellent commentary by the pilot. Very exciting!
Jessica –
Such a cool experience. I live on the island so it was really neat to see everything from above. The views are stunning, and our pilot entertained us with facts but it wasn’t overbearing commentary. I wish there was a way to book my seat ahead of time because the customer by the door took social media videos the entire time, so I had to crane my neck back and forth to see the views. Also, the flight video wasn’t worth it for me. I thought the camera would’ve been set up outside the helicopter, but it was more like a dashboard cam. Overall, fantastic!! I plan on doing this again!
Jolene –
Amazing sites and fabulous information provided by our pilot Joey. Would 1000% recommend!
Shay Steen –
I highly recommend this tour. The ride was truly breathtaking. Our Pilot Kyle was amazing and was very knowledgeable of the island.

John MacPherson –
This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Hawaii. The views were spectacular and the pilot was very informative of the site we were seeing. I would recommend it to anyone who goes visits Oahu.
Jane & Robert Bird –
My husband & I did the 60 minute flight. Absolutely phenomenal & highlight of our time in Oahu! Our pilot Tony was so great, making sure we had a view of all we wanted to see. He was so professional, communication was exceptional, we could not have had it better. The staff was so warming to greet us with smiles & made sure we knew our safety. If you want the best Fly Rainbow Helicopters!
Teresa –
This was the best trip. From check in till the flight was complete my family had the best experience. The pilot Kyle was very informative and easy to talk with my 4 grandkids.

Highly recommend this tour!

Charlie KUDER –
So glad we took the tour! We were able to see the island in a completely different way. Pilots were great.

Wow great experience. We were very nervous but it was amazing. Thanks to Josh the pilot
Doors off is the way to go.
Liam Burns –
Josh was a terrific pilot & tour guide.
Gregory Harris –
Excellent way to see Oahu from an incredible perspective. Everything was incredibly professional, proficient, and precise. We did the doors off Royal Crown of Hawaii and that was an amazing experience. My son (7) had a great time and the pilot talked to him the entire time to make him comfortable.
We will definitely do this again on our next trip.
Steph –
We had an amazing experience. The view from the sky is absolutely breath taking! Mahalo!
Pam Harper –
Tony was an awesome guide & driver! He was informative & interesting & attentive. I would highly recommend Tony & Rainbow tours!!
Arturo Andaya –
I recently had the opportunity to take a helicopter ride in Oahu, Hawaii, and it was an absolutely breathtaking experience. From the moment we took off, the panoramic views of the island’s lush green mountains, cascading waterfalls, and stunning coastline left me in awe. The pilot, Kyle, was knowledgeable and provided interesting commentary throughout the flight, enhancing the overall experience. The smooth and comfortable ride, coupled with the unparalleled beauty of Oahu from above, made this helicopter adventure a definite highlight of my trip. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable way to explore the island.
Huy Nguyen –
Breathtaking scenes! Our pilot Jojo is the awesome!!
Patrick Quinlan –
Kyle was an excellent tour guide and pilot!
My wife and I had a blast, first time helicopter ride.
Would recommend Rainbow Helicopters to everyone!!!
Pitchen Thierry –
First flight and great experience ! Very professional. They take care of you from passing the entrance of the office till the very end of the tour. Very nice and friendly pilot. I recommend for sure and will do it again next time in Oahu.
Patricia Kotila –
Thoroughly enjoyed our one hour tour without doors. Staff was efficient and friendly before and after the ride. Our pilot, Kyle, was very personable and knowledgeable about the Island, but most importantly a great pilot.
Lou sanchez –
Great flight and pilot Kyle was great in his narrative. High recommend this flight!!
Shirley Glading –
Excellent value. Our pilot was a super star
Leanda Bradshaw –
Amazing experience. One cannot imagine the scale of the volcanic activity that once was. Kieran was pilot on my flight and he really was knowledgeable and engaging. I sat in front with doors on and the other passengers were in back with doors off. Thank you also to the lovely reception staff who were very professional and welcoming.
Best regards and Mahalo.

Gamaliel Ramirez –
Our tour was wonderful, special thanks to our tour guide Kyle! Will definitely be back!
Alexis Jacobo –
I had the pleasure of embarking on a thrilling helicopter ride over the stunning landscapes of Oahu, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary! Pilot Tobias, with his exceptional flying skills and warm demeanor, made this aerial journey an unforgettable one.
From the moment we took off, Tobias ensured our safety and comfort, providing clear instructions and information about the scenic spots we would be flying over. His knowledge of Oahu’s geography and history added a fascinating layer to the adventure, and we found fully immersed in the beauty of the island.
The breathtaking views from the helicopter were beyond compare. We soared over lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and beautiful beaches, each sight more awe-inspiring than the last. The way Tobias expertly maneuvered the helicopter to showcase the island’s most picturesque locations allowed my friend and I to capture stunning photographs and create cherished memories.
Boyd Erickson –
Our doors off helicopter ride was amazing!! Our pilot Alex was very informative and professional. We saw how beautiful Hawaii really is from 2,000 feet in the air. I would recommend this adventure to anyone who wants to see Oahu Hawaii from a totally different perspective.
Hannah –
I took my mum on a 1 hour doors off helicopter tour for her 60th birthday and it was honestly the highlight of our trip! 100% recommend having the doors off for the ultimate experience and view. Kieran our pilot was so knowledgable and a great guide. Can not recommend this enough!!!
Enrique Escote –
Fantastic excursion and the pilot was very kindly.
Excellent.
Jenny Bates –
Pilot Kyle was awesome very informative and fun
Mark Hagerty –
We have been in several helicopter rides in the past. The emails prior to leaving started giving us some concerns. But our concerns were unfounded. From the moment we showed up on site for the ride until we got back, it was excellent. The last time we had a helicopter ride for an hour, I believe we got 47 minutes total. When you’re paying about $30 a minute that could be very frustrating. Our pilot, Joel, gave us every bit of the hour that we were hoping for. Very enjoyable.
Andrea Urbina –
Went on this tour on my honeymoon, and I must say it’s the most exhilarating experience I’ve ever had! Our pilot, Kyle, was extremely informative and friendly! Highly recommend anyone looking to your Oahu to take this tour immediately!
Justin Kon –
This was my wife’s surprise anniversary gift for me. The whole experience was amazing and breathtaking. The staff and pilot were very professional and we were very well taken care of from start to finish. I will definitely recommend them to my friends.
Lisa M. –
Rainbow Helicopters was very professional, friendly, competent, and made me feel safe. Joel was my pilot. He was very knowledgeable about the island and great at piloting the aircraft. I would fly with them again and highly recommend!!
Deborah Gunn –
Really enjoyed the flight around Ohau, will worth the money. Would highly recommend. Staff are all welcoming.
Rose Tigner –
Best family adventure ever! Tobias was our pilot and he was so knowledgeable about the island. Do it when you first arrive on the island so you can see everything without having to drive, then you can decide where you want to spend more time…we did our tour with the doors off and all 4 of us enjoyed it. Would definitely do it again and I highly recommend them!
Michael –
Incredible experience. Pilots are knowledgeable of the island and entertaining (not to mention, safe!).
Kati –
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 🙂
Shaun –
I would recommend to all. Great customer service, awesome pilot with great knowledge of the island and overall an excellent tour. Thank you Pilot Joel. You did a great job!!!
James Crafts –
Our pilot Tony was very knowledgeable and the tour was relaxing and scenery breathtaking. The flight was calm and well narrated.
Christine Richards –
We had an amazing tour! Our pilot, Kyle was incredible. Very knowledgeable, fun and interacted well with everyone.
The views from above were even better than we expected. And we were so glad we did the tour with the doors off.
Naomi Gerace –
Absolutely incredible! My favorite experience of our Hawaiian adventure. The 60 minute tour was everything we hoped it would be. Doors off is the way to go if you want an adventure in the sky. Everything we saw plus the knowledgeable pilot, it was amazing.
PAUL DELAU –
Wonderful trip that exceeded our expectations. Thanks!
Harald –
It was a wonderful trip. Indescribably beautiful views of Oahu. Thank you very much for the great trip.
John R. –
Amazing experience! Super friendly staff that was very welcoming, and a pilot that was knowledgeable, funny, and professional! So great, I’m doing it again in a couple of days! Highly recommend!
Steven Rasmussen –
Fantastic tour. Highly recommend this company. Well organized and very friendly.
Jennifer OConnor –
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.
Terrence W Brotherton –
Tony did a great job talking, and flying around the island (simultaneously!). He did, however, repeatedly say “for those on the left side of the aircraft …,” yes we were on the right side, and saw lots of wonderful oceans. He diverted many times to show us, but the tour is counter-clockwise around Oahu and there is only so much you can do. Anyway, great tour, 5-stars.
Terrance Smith –
This was an incredible experience. We were able to see the entire island, and it is spectacular. The pilot was extremely good and I would recommend this experience.
John R. –
Super friendly personnel and great pilots! Great tour with knowledgeable and educated pilots! Will do it again on my next trip to Hawaii. Also, $160 cheaper than some of the other competition.
Julissa Fox –
The booking was straight forward, the location was easily accessible with free parking and staff was extremely helpful and informative. Everyone was very friendly. The whole experience was beautiful!
Kyle K Fischer –
Amazing experience! I feel like I know the whole island now! It’s great to be able to drive around and say you have seen everything from above! Very knowledgeable and friendly pilot and great ground crew. 10s across the board! Will definitely recommend.
Rebecca –
Pilot Michael and our flight were both excellent! A great way to view all parts of the island (including places we weren’t able to get to) and end our time on Oahu. Thank you!
Hal –
Very friendly before, during, and after the flight. Great experience, great sights, and a lot of fun.
Robert Burke –
Awesome flight Joel did great job on tour for us. Three of us never been on a helicopter before. MAHALO
Mark Jackloski –
Awesome experience!
Darrell is the Best!!!
Philip Bell –
Excellent experience. Joel was a great pilot and tour guide. We went back and forth on “doors off or on?”, in the end took doors off, great decision! Highly recommend this tour.
Tracy Johnson –
We had such a wonderful experience on this helicopter ride that we are hooked! Our pilot was great and we felt completely safe the whole time, even with bo doors! I highly recommend this tour!
Tranae M –
Our pilot was awesome and super knowledgeable! Believe it was the best part of our trip!
Thank u
Melinda –
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.
Steve –
Rainbow Helo was super accommodating as we were a late add and ended up switching passengers shortly before the flight. Jojo our pilot was outstanding, cheerful and informative. Highly recommend!
Ray –
Emily did a awesome job piloting the helicopter around the island. She put my wife and I at ease with our anxiety of being our first time in a helicopter. Friendly and knowledgeable definitely recommend Rainbow Helo.
Nathan W Motter –
Our doors off flight with pilot Emma was fantastic! While you can’t control the weather, which was overcast and a bit rainy, Emma did did a great job flying. I never felt uneasy throughout the entire experience. The views we were able to see were spectacular, some of which you can only get by taking this tour. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Susan S –
Our doors off flight was amazing. JoJo was our knowledgeable and wonderful pilot. It was a clear ang sunny day so we had beautiful views of the island. It was amazing to see the different terrains which can only be seen by air. The hour tour went by quickly and I would recommend this tour highly.
K Ottesen –
Absolutely amazing! Our pilot JoJo was engaging skillfull and professional. His narration of the tour provided a lot more depth and understanding to the island. Overall a beautiful experience and we would highly recommend Rainbow Helicopter Tours everyday! 5 star service to be sure. Thanks guys.
David Highnote –
We did a private doors-off Royal Crown of Oahu tour with Turner.
This was a fantastic tour. Covered a significant loop of Oahu, and gave us a chance to do reconnaissance for our drive around the island that followed immediately after.
Turner was a fantastic guide and a very comfortable pilot with whom to be out.
I’d do this again, and recommend it to anyone.
Cecilia Montoya –
An incredible way to see Oahu!
I wish I had done this as soon as I arrived because you get a really good understanding of the island and where everything is.
Our pilot Josh did a wonderful job at explaining all the different sights and was great at giving us a heads up whenever there was turbulence (only happened twice and very briefly). I generally get motion sickness when I travel but Josh was very smooth with take off and landing.
I highly recommend the experience! You’ll never forget it
Todd Lehman –
We’re a 65 year old couple looking for a unique experience but unsure the doors off option would be too “adventurous” for us. We’re so glad we did! Pilot Daryl made the trip super smooth and we felt totally safe and comfortable the entire trip. He did an excellent job narrating and explaining the areas of the island we visited. We even got to see sea turtles and beaching whales! We’ve traveled a lot and we’d post this as one of our lifetime experiences.
Jeffrey Smith –
This was an amazing experience. Our pilot Darrell was skillful, knowledgeable, friendly and informative. He made sure we had the chance to see the sights from both sides of the helicopter so everyone had a view. He had great recommendations and insider tips.
The advance crew was professional and focused on safety. They answered our questions and ensured we were ready for a safe flight.
Michelle Kuffler –
This was the single best experience of recent years for me. First time in a helicopter and first time in Hawaii. I wish it was longer than an hour it was so mesmerizing. Our pilot Emma was really great and explained sites to us and answered questions. Such a blessing to be able to do.
Krystal Smith –
Pilot was full of information and made adjustments for the weather. We are glad we did it! It was amazing!
Gary & Carol –
This flight was so much fun and I highly recommend doing this. Everyone was very professional and safety was a top priority. The views of the island from the air are amazing. The pilot, JoJo, was very experienced and shared information about the island and what we were looking at. Thanks Rainbow for an experience we will never forget.
Karl Martin –
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.
Alex Vuolo and Laura Morency –
This tour was our first time in a helicopter and now likely won’t be our last. Turner was the best pilot! Felt safe and secure even with the yaws and bumps. Doors off is the way to go! He was very knowledgeable and the right amount of chatty for us. We say parts of the island we would not have seen otherwise! Rainbow and staff very attentive and professional from the start. Everyone said hello and goodbye and asked how our flight was. It was an hour that didn’t seem like one at all!
Donn C. –
smashing tour of Oahu with Kieran, who pointed out the sights and made a few extra circles around two different whale sightings. We enjoyed the doors-off experience in the Airbus jet helicopter… 🙂
Cboyne –
Joel was a great pilot ! He was thorough on everything before take off , and we felt super safe with the staff . During the flight he answered all our questions about the island and sites we seen . He told us lots of info about the island and history and showed us cool spots and sites. Definitely worth every penny , and a memory me and my daughter will cherish and remember forever ! Also they let you view video after before purchasing , so if thinking of getting a video , wait until you view it after your flight to see if your satisfied with the quality before paying !
Thank you again Joel + Staff !
John –
Tour was fantastic and fun! The welcome staff were warm and friendly. My first-time on a heli so getting a birds eye view of Oahu was amazing. We saw rainbows, waterfalls, and the beautiful beaches. Darrell did a nice job of giving insight to cool facts about Hawaii, Pearl Harbor, and the tidbits about the local communities. The only downer…if you are seated in seat 1 and 2 request to be moved because you’re next to the pilot console, we felt a bit cramped. Other than that this tour made our Valentine’s day super memorable.
Susan Brown –
The tour was fantastic! Joel kept us safe and gave us wonderful views of the island! When our daughter saw his picture, she thought he was cute but needed a beard, LOL. On a side note, I was in seat 1 and could not hear his narrative very well in spite of adjusting the knobs on the headset. More instruction is needed there. Thanks for a great experience!
Gerry Dempsey –
It was terrific. Everyone considered it the highlight of our vacation.
John Abshire –
This was an amazing heli tour and Darrell at the controls was a superb pilot and extremely informative and personal…. Would definitely recommend and do the tour again!!!
Wayne Reddekopp –
Excellent tour. Very experienced pilot. Received good information. Flight was very smooth.
Would recommend
Lee Ann Dalling –
Wonderful experience. Scenery was fabulous and included so many of the famous landmarks and sites. Pilot Kieran was informative, charming and funny. The only concern was front seat for two passengers is an extremely tight squeeze. I have mobility issues, so the tour is a great way to see and experience all the wonderful things, without all the walking. Highly recommend
Martin and Terrie W –
We recently went to Hawaii to celebrate our 50th anniversary and included a helicopter tour of Oahu with Rainbow Tours. It was fantastic, and I would do it again and recommend it completely. Mike, the pilot, was wonderful. He took us around the whole island, showed us Pearl Harbour, the Dole plantations, pointed out interesting spots and beautiful landmarks. Definitely the highlight of our visit.
Erick McKitterick –
Great experience coupled with a great staff = great time. From the moment I booked the flight it was a top notch experience. Reception called me minutes after I booked to confirm I received the email with parking instructions and everything was good to go. Arrived and followed the well documented signage to the designated area and we were off. Even on a super windy day everything was super smooth and felt like first class passengers on a first class trip the entire time. Would highly recommend.
Hartz Jodi –
The flight was absolutely spectacular. Joel was an amazing pilot and very knowledgeable about the island. There are views, such as the Sacred Falls waterfall, are something that you can only see from the sky since it was closed to hikers since 1999. I would highly recommend the helicopter tour by rainbow helicopters to anyone!
Hartmut Bulwien –
Wonderful!!!
Geronimo Jorge –
Great experience and I highly recommend Freddy the pilot. He was knowledgeable of the entire island and very careful while flying and educating our group.
Yoko Giarratano –
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!
Dick Morgan –
Exceptional. Well organized and anticipated everything. Fantastic pilot. He didn’t do any high speed maneuvers. Lol. Thanks for a great experience.
Michael –
Thumbs up and all hands on deck on this awesome tour! Fantastic piloting & narration flew us over the entire island of Oahu. Open-doors highly recommended, but dress for the wind. Stunning!
ryan cordell –
Freddy was amazing! This tour was truly an exceptional experience that neither of us will forget!
Dick Morgan –
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.
Steven Edwards –
Great adventure to put on anyone’s “to do” list. We had a very fun time.
Kimberly Pineira –
Amazing!!! Our first time in a helicopter. Mike our pilot was so great!!! I’m afraid to fly and he made me so comfortable by engaging us with his knowledge of the island. Also stellar flying skills! This was our 33rd year anniversary present and Rainbow didn’t disappoint. Doors off for sure for your family.
Kyle Anthony –
It was awesome! Got a front seat too. Pilot and staff were great! Very exciting flight.
PATRICIA GULIN NAREZI –
Sensacional!!! Experiência maravilhosa!! Foi tudo perfeito, desde a reserva pelo site, pagamento on-line (que eu estava um pouco apreensiva – 4 pessoas). Após o pagamento já recebi um e-mail de confirmação da Rainbow, trocamos algumas informações essenciais e pronto. No dia tudo foi PERFEITO!! Super pontuais, o voo durou 62 minutos e foi um ESPETÁCULO!!! MARAVILHOSO!!! Nos mostrou toda ilha de Oahu com muitas informações e curiosidades. Não poderia ter sido melhor. Recomendo e faria novamente.
Brian Sauerbrei –
Fantastic pilot. Great support staff. Amazing views.
Bobby Myles –
Enjoyed myself and I will let everyone know.
Paul Rhymer –
Amazing experience with equally wonderful staff. We’ve taken several helicopter tours and this one was by far the best one yet. Highly recommend this company for helicopter tours.
Andy –
What a way to see oahu , Darrell our pilot doubled as an amazing tour guide!!!
Anthony Pena –
Had the most amazing time! Was the highlight of our entire trip! From the pilot Ida to all the staff at the base, they made the entire experience unforgettable! Cant wait to come back!

Jessica Rudolph –
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!
Sergi –
Money well spent…… IT WAS AMAZING…. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD…. WOW…. 5 PLUS STARS….
Cecilia –
An incredible way to see Oahu!
I wish I had done this as soon as I arrived because you get a really good understanding of the island and where everything is.
Our pilot Josh did a wonderful job at explaining all the different sights and was great at giving us a heads up whenever there was turbulence (only happened twice and very briefly). I generally get motion sickness when I travel but Josh was very smooth with take off and landing.
I highly recommend the experience! You’ll never forget it.
Clancy –
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.
Elizabeth De Alba –
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.
Elizabeth De Alba –
It was a wonderful experience. Great customer service and a very knowledgeable pilot (Joey). We recommend Rainbow helicopters.
Gayle –
Every employee was very friendly and seemed to love their job. The pilot was informative and answered all questions.
Elise Reaves –
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
Samantha Vaughn –
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!
Tim Mason –
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!
Noble D. Katzer –
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
Steve –
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
Linda –
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.
JOYCE ANNE TONJES –
Wonderful ! My first time in a helicopter …Ida was an “ace flyer’! A beautiful way to really see the island ! Thank you for a most delightful ride!
Stephen –
We recently had the pleasure of taking the Royal Crown of Oahu Helicopter Tour with Rainbow Helicopters, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our pilot, Lucien, was absolutely fantastic. Not only was he an incredibly skilled pilot, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the flight, but he was also very informative, sharing fascinating insights about the island’s history and landmarks. Note: We chose to fly with the doors off. Highly recommend that.
The tour offered breathtaking views of Oahu, from the stunning coastline to the lush mountain ranges. Lucien’s narration really enhanced the experience, and we felt like we learned so much while taking in the natural beauty of the island. The whole experience was smooth, from the booking process to the tour itself.
If you’re visiting Oahu and want to see the island from a unique perspective, we highly recommend this helicopter tour! Lucien and the team at Rainbow Helicopters made it an experience we’ll never forget.
Dan –
One word says it all…..spectacular. From the time you arrive and the ground crew gives the orientation everybody was so nice. The pilot was very informative and took us for a smooth ride.
Paul and Andrea Livingstone –
Had a fab 50th birthday! My husband and I were on our trip with another couple with 6yr old.empty seat in the middle. Plenty of space. I had door off seat and whilst I was initially anxious ,I enjoyed the thrilling ride and Ida was our pilot for our trip.
She was an amazing pilot.Very knowledgeable and we both felt really safe in the air.It was a great experience with the doors off and well worth the money as we researched other companies beforehand.
Josh McDade –
Oh my goodness! It took us a week just to calm down. What……a……spectacular……way…to……..see……this……island!!! Unreal views combined with great company, then, sprinkle in a little history, and we got ourselves a memory etched into the center of our minds. Its been over a week and we are still talking about how it almost seems like it didn’t really happen. But then we have the footage to back it up so it must have. Seriously though, this is not a waste of money. This is something special. Make sure you wear the phone holder. Would have lost it for sure if it was not for that. Thanks so much Rainbow! We will be back.
Mark F Russell –
Excellent! I think I can say that for all four of us who went. Very informative. Our pilot explained a lot, as well as listen when we had a short story. Answered all our questions; very knowledgeable. We loved it!
