Oahu Helicopter Tours

Oahu helicopter tours lift you above Waikiki, Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, windward cliffs, North Shore surf and valleys most visitors never see from the road. It is a fast, wide-open look at how much island is hiding beyond the beach day.

Your Oahu Helicopter Flight

An Oahu helicopter tour changes the shape of the island in a hurry. Waikiki, Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, Kaneohe Bay, the Koolau mountains and the North Shore all start making sense when you see how the ridges, reefs, beaches and valleys fit together from above.

Flight routes vary by tour. Some focus on Honolulu, Waikiki, Diamond Head and the south shore, while longer flights may add Hanauma Bay, Kailua, Kaneohe Bay, Kaawa Valley, Sacred Falls, the North Shore, Dole Plantation and Pearl Harbor.

Choose your flight by time in the air, departure area, doors-on or doors-off option, seat preferences and the scenery you care about most. Bring your camera, keep clothing secure and check weight, weather and check-in details before booking.
