8 am tour - Very fun ride! Our pilot, Benjamin, was very knowledgeable and informative!! We went at 8am and it was a bit over cast, but the views were amazing! The falls were a little disappointing and flying over Pearl Harbor could have been a bit more. Other than that, awesome!!

Beauty from the air! - Koji, our pilot, was amazing! His commentary throughout the flight was informative and light. The bonus in the flight was spotting whales. Viewing Oahu from the air was the best way to see many of the sacred sights and hear the legends. The whole team was wonderful, from checking in and getting the safety prep through to disembarking. Very professional and I highly recommend booking your flight - don't wait - you won't regret it!!

Amazing Experience. The Highlight of Our Visit to Oahu - This was a spectacular experience and probably the highlight of our visit to Oahu. This is not an inexpensive undertaking but this falls into one of those once in a lifetime experiences. Very professionally run operation and you could sense that they put a priority on everyone having a safe experience. After watching the safety and instruction video, we boarded the helicopter and headed out on a counterclockwise tour of the island. This included downtown Honolulu and Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Makapu'u Point, along the windward coast and over the Ko'olau Mountains and onto the North Shore before returning to Honolulu with Pearl Harbor as the final stop. Our pilot was great and was able to spot a whale migrating off the coast for us. I was quite concerned about getting a seat in the front for better views and I'm glad we did although the pilot sits to your left and this does obscure your view when making the counterclockwise circumnavigation of the island although he did make a 360 degree turn at Diamond Head and at Pearl Harbor so that everyone could get an unobstructed view. Just a note that we had trouble finding our meeting point. When using Google Maps, the meeting point given was not showing up correctly and we ended up going out of our way near the airport in rush hour traffic which was somewhat harrowing, but we called the office and they gave us specific instructions on how to find them.

Hawaiian Birthday Adventure! - I loved that the pilot shared his knowledge of the different sites along the way and made sure passengers on both sides got to see everything. What a great way to see nearly the entire island. This was a birthday gift to my wife and it was an experience to remember!

Very Cool! - I was scared but it was a great time. The wind defiantly made me hold my breath from time to time but overall the pilot was great and was very knowledgeable. Seeing Pearl harbor from that view was amazing. And flying over the mountains and looking down into waterfalls was unreal.

Horrible Service - There were flash flood warnings that morning and kept telling us the flight was on . We drove an hour and 45 mins from the other side of the island called like 3 times on the way and they finally called us as we pulled in to say the tour was canceled. This was very unprofessional they knew by the forecast that would not be going there was 5 inches of rain that morning . We risked our lives driving through the storms with water on the roads because if we did not show up we would lose our $750.00 for being a no show .
