Summary

Your helicopter will take off from John Kalaeloa Airport (JRF) in Kapolei, so please meet at the airport a little before the time you chose at booking. This tour is offered mornings and afternoons on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Once you get situated into your helicopter, and everyone gets a headset to wear, it’s time to take off. Your helicopter soars up above the Oahu island. Your guide takes you around to some of the best sights of the area, and keeps you in the know about where you are. Pass by spots, such as Diamond Head, Koko Head, Hanauma Bay, Sandy Beach, and Makapu‘u Lighthouse. Then, get a peek at Kāne‘ohe Bay, Mokoliʻi, Ka‘a‘awa Valley, and Sacred Falls State Park. Along the ride, keep a lookout for the Polynesian Cultural Center and Turtle Bay Resort. Catch a glimpse of famous surfing spots and the white-sand beaches of the Waianae Coast. After all the excitement, your helicopter lands back at the airport.
