After exploring the rich forest, soar over the serene turquoise waters of Kiholo Bay, and glimpse the secluded beauty of Makalawena Beach.

Doors-ontours 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.
