About Rainbow Helicopters – Royal Crown of Oahu
Lift off from Honolulu International Airport on the Royal Crown of Oahu tour, an hour-long flight that links every iconic corner of the island into one sweeping aerial story. Waikiki's skyline slips away beneath the rotors, Diamond Head rises at eye level, and the catamaran-speckled curve of Hanauma Bay glints in the sunlight before the helicopter rounds Makapu'u Point toward the windward coast.
The tour threads between the lush ridges of the Ko'olau Mountains, cruises above powder-soft Lanikai Beach and kaleidoscopic Kaneohe Bay, then sweeps over Chinaman's Hat and the emerald amphitheater of Ka'a'awa Valley. You'll hover near misty Sacred Falls, trace the wave-pounded North Shore, skim past pineapple fields at Dole Plantation and circle solemn Pearl Harbor—all in a single flight.
Doors Off Option: Prefer unobstructed views and an exhilarating breeze? Choose doors off when booking to fly with an open cabin, or keep the doors on for a cozier ride—the choice is yours.
