Rainbow Helicopter Tour Oahu - We had to book this tour at the last minute because the tour we had booked canceled onus at the last minute and we really wanted to take this tour. The folks at Rainbow tours were so nice and knowledgeable. The pilot was very enthusiastic and did a fantastic job showing all the best places.

Top recommendation for Oahu - An absolute recommendation! Many things that you could not see from the ground became visible! We had a great pilot (Galvin) and were only alone in the helicopter 🚁! Once again brand new impressions, absolute recommendation to fly with open doors! Would do the tour again right away! Mahalo 🤙

Awesome experience! - The tour itself was amazing! We couldn't get into the mountains on account of the winds, but that's the risk on a helicopter tour. We did the doors off option. Super fun, but very windy! Even more than we expected. It was our first time flying in a helicopter and we were all a little nervous/ uncomfortable for the first 15 minutes until we got used to it swaying around so much. The ONLY complaint we had was the set up for the tour. We were asked to be there a full hour before, and therefore, we showed up as asked. The entire check in process took less than 10 minutes and then we were asked to sit in a quiet waiting room until our flight time which started a few minutes late. We sat for a full hour. It was a waste of time getting there so early! The staff were very professional, but it felt a little cold. We walked in pretty excited and they made the process feel very boring. Both of my teenagers said it felt like we were at a funeral or something. The flight itself and the pilot were great and we would definitely do a tour again.
