Discover Hawaii from above with the Island's best city sightseeing including the Waikiki shoreline, Diamond Head, Punchbowl Crater, Pearl Harbor and more. A fun helicopter tour Oahu visitors love and remember. Get great photographs and fly doors-off, free.
Important information: All guests will be weighed before flying. Guests weighing more than 267 lbs will be charged an excessive weight fee, which must be paid locally before flying. Doors-on tours are more comfortable and you can easily hear music and narration. You'll enjoy window seating with unobstructed views from the top of your head to your waist. Doors-off helicopter tours are available by request and are a little more exciting. Please note that they are windy and colder so you will have to wear warmer clothes. Doors off-tours also provide a better photographic experience as you will enjoy unobstructed floor-to-ceiling views. While doors off tours are very popular and a blast, they are not for everyone. Please only choose doors off if you are up for an adventure experience! If not, we recommend sticking with the doors on. Lastly please note that when booking the doors off experience, your seat may or may not be directly adjacent to an open door. Rainbow Helicopters requires a jacket or sweatshirt on all doors off flights as well as closed toed shoes. I also definitely recommend wearing your hair up or braided so that it doesn't blow everywhere. If you want photos with your hair down before the flight, that's not a problem, just bring a hair tie so you can put it up before you board the helicopter.
