Highlights
  • USS Arizona Memorial - The USS Arizona Memorial, located at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii, serves as the final resting place for 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors and Marines who perished on the USS Arizona during the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941.
  • Pearl Harbor National Memorial - Built to honor the numerous lives lost during the attack, the Pearl Harbor National Memorial is situated at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickman on Oahu Island in Hawaii. The park features nine historic sites that highlight different aspects of the Pacific War.
  • Waikiki - Waikiki is a lively neighborhood known for its popular surf beach, with high-rise hotels lining the shore.
  • Diamond Head State Monument - The volcanic cone Diamond Head, also known as Lē‘ahi, stands prominently at the edge of Honolulu. Experience Hawaii’s most iconic landmark from a fresh perspective.
  • Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve - This marine preserve, formed within a volcanic cone, is teeming with marine life. The reef formations and the bay’s protective structure make it one of Oahu’s top snorkeling destinations.
  • Lanikai Beach - Frequently named the “Best Beach in America,” Lanikai Beach features clear waters and pristine white sand, epitomizing a picture-perfect beach.
  • Kailua - The main town on the windward, eastern side of the island, Kailua offers stunning beaches, gentle waves, and clear waters. The Mokuleia Islands, located about a mile off the coast, provide a sanctuary for many native birds.
  • Kaneohe Bay - Kāneʻohe Bay, the largest sheltered body of water in the islands, is an ideal recreational area. The large sandbar creates beautiful colors, and Heeia Pond along the shore preserves ancient Hawaiian fishing traditions.
  • Kualoa Ranch - This 4,000-acre private nature reserve and working cattle ranch is popular with visitors and serves as a filming location for many movies.
  • Sacred Falls - This 1,100-foot waterfall is ‘kapu’ (forbidden), and its dramatic surrounding landscape is only accessible by air.
  • North Shore - Known for the “7-mile miracle,” the North Shore of Oahu is world-renowned for its surf, created by extensive reef formations along the coast.
  • Waianae Mountain Range - Observe the eroded remains of an ancient shield volcano that makes up the western half of Oahu.
  • Nanakuli Beach Park - Enjoy views from the Nanakuli Forest Reserve to its namesake beach park, a favorite spot for locals in West Oahu.

1st time in a helicopter - First time in a helicopter, I was a bit nervous but everyone here was very professional, calm and kind. Amazing way to see and learn about the entire island. Marcus was a great guide and smooth pilot.

Fantastic! - Booked this tour through the hotel and probably would have been cheaper direct. Staff were really friendly and helpful, great safety precautions and really good and knowledgeable pilot, Benjamin. It’s not a cheap excursion but so pleased I did it and would 100% recommend. It was cloudy when I took my flight which was a shame but we saw migrating humpbacks which was amazing!

The best way to see Oahu - When you come to Oahu you must do the Blue Hawaiian helicopter Island tour. You can't see the whole island any other way. Beautiful beaches, mountains and even a full circle rainbow, just magical. Our pilot Loggins shared so much information and history of beautiful Hawaii and gave us all a wonderful scenic flight. Perfect island tour.

Must do when visiting Hawaii! - We had an amazing time taking in the sights with our pilot Hochi (please forgive the spelling) who kept us entertained and safe throughout the flight. 10/10 recommend adding this to excursion plans when visiting Hawaii!

Hawaii’s version of Ryan air! - Truly terrible experience. Rudest round crew ever. Please make sure you get a seating commitment before you book or they will stick you in the worst possible seats and tell you that you’re welcome to forfeit your payment and not fly with them. I wish I did! If you have never flown by helicopter you may like this but if you have flown with a real company before, this is like flying Ryan air!!!
