About Mauna Loa Helicopters – Private Oahu Experience
Lift off from Honolulu on an exclusive, doors-optional flight and watch Waikiki's shoreline slip beneath the rotors before Diamond Head rises in perfect profile. Skimming turquoise coves and lava cliffs past Koko Head and Makapu'u Lighthouse, the helicopter follows Oahu's windward curve for aerial views of Kailua's white sand, Mokoli'i Island and the patchwork reef of Kaneohe Bay.
The journey then sweeps over jungle-framed Ka'a'awa Valley, the misty ribbon of Sacred Falls and the world-famous surf breaks of Pipeline, Sunset and Waimea before circling Pearl Harbor for a reflective look at the USS Arizona Memorial. With cabin doors on or off, this private adventure delivers unobstructed panoramas and memorable photos of every iconic corner of the island.
