The pristine beaches of Waikiki are just one of the many wonders to behold in Oahu. A journey here isn’t truly complete until you’ve seen the emblematic mountain tops of the island. A half-hour helicopter ride can present you with majestic sights of Diamond Head, the triple summits of Mt. Olomana, and Nu’uanu Pali. Mid-flight, your eyes will also take in the turquoise waters of Haunama Bay, Makapu’u Point’s guiding lighthouse, and the historical Pearl Harbor.

Amazing pilot and views! 🤙🏽 - Our pilot Darrell knew the best views to take us to and shared tons of fun facts with us - from movies made at each site visited to celebrity homes and more. We were scheduled for a 30 minute ride but were not rushed at all. We were definitely on island time and will be back!

Wonderful Door-Off Flight - Turner, our pilot was a great guide and pointed out all the landmarks. We did a doors off tour and highly recommend it with this company. They are safe, efficient and very friendly.

Terrific Helicopter Tour - I have been on many helicopter tours, and this one was beyond compare! The staff was exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we were prepared and comfortable. Our pilot, Jojo, kept us entertained while pointing out all the gems of Hawaii. I highly recommend Rainbow Helicopter Tours for your Hawaiian flight adventure!

Expensive but Well Worth It - Great service from the front desk, to all the staff really, and culminating with a fantastic pilot (Emma), her engaging dialogue with each of us was appreciated and superb narration of the scenery, history and geography as it unfolded live, was second to none. The views were spectacular (any other word falls far short), breathtaking perspectives and images that really one will never be able to experience - but on a helicopter. 5 stars and far better than my Maui copter tour.

Incredible experience worth every penny - It was just incredible! Worth every penny. I got upgraded to an hour for free. I sat by the pilot with doors off. He was such a great pilot, it was very smooth. The views of the mountains with so many crevices were amazing.
