City-by-the-Sea - 20 Min Helicopter Tour - Doors Off or On

Select a convenient departure time when booking, and begin your tour at Rainbow Helicopters located in Honolulu International Airport.

Get a brief orientation from your pilot and choose whether you'd like to fly with the helicopter doors on or off. Fasten your seat belt and take off, flying over Honolulu Harbor and the South Shore of Oahu. Watch the people milling around in Honolulu's commercial district, far below, and see people relaxing on Magic Island and the white sand of Waikiki. 

Get a bird's eye view (and stunning photo ops) of Diamond Head, the Punchbowl Crater, and the U.S. National Military Cemetery of the Pacific. Head for Pearl Harbor, where you'll get aerial views of the Battleship Missouri and the USS Arizona Memorial. 

After the excitement of soaring above the island, your helicopter circles back to the Honolulu International Airport

Soar over the Honolulu skyline and Waikiki's white-sand beaches as you discover the seaside city of Oahu. Enjoy views of Diamond Head, Punchbowl Crater, and the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. Choose our exciting doors-off option and get crystal clear photographs of this beautiful city.
