Our helicopter flight tour of Oahu was breathtaking! - Our helicopter tour was amazing! I wanted to see the island of Oahu from above, and this tour was the best way to do it! We saw the crater of the volcanoes, the tops of the mountains, and the breathtaking views of the coastline from the sky view! This was my all-time dream come true, and I was very pleased!!

Best tour never - Everything at Rainbow helicopter was very professional . It was my first time to fly in a helicopter and I chose doors off. I was nervous but they explained everything so well + I watched a short video on safety. Cody was my pilot he did an awesome job with the tour and made me feel very comfortable in the helicopter.
I highly recommend doing the helicopter tour. The views are absolutely breathtaking.

Bucket list checked off - Definitely a must if you are on the Island. Well worth the money. Everyone was very accommodating and friendly. Our pilot was Ida. She did an amazing job narrating the tour, while allowing us to soak it all in.

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.
