SPECTACULAR! - HIGHLY recommend! Worth every penny - it’s as though you were a part of the magic the island offers. There were 4 of us and a couple in the front seat which was totally fine. The pilot was great and honestly, I still talk about this experience and I want to do it again. Actually went in Dec 2023.

Do it. - If you just do one thing in Honolulu then do this! I don’t like small spaces and I don’t like heights and I would not have missed this for the world. We were very well looked after by all involved and our pilot was delightful!
