On the way, you'll glide over the charming Makapu'u Lighthouse to see its bright red beam shine out to unknown ships at sea.
As you continue your tour up the island's windward coast, you'll see the fabled Ko'olau Mountains in the distance and watch in silence as you fly over Lanikai Beach - often called the world's most beautiful beach - and the offshore sandbars and coral formations that make Kaneohe Bay one of the most picturesque places on earth.
As you fly over a stunning valley, the truly special part of this royal tour begins. A tender descent from the heavens presents a unique opportunity to witness from the ground the magnificent sights you've viewed from the sky. After a gentle landing, your pilot becomes your "Aloha Maitre'd", escorting you to a private pavilion perfectly situated in a 4000-acre paradise with lush, green landscapes, mountains that stretch to the clouds and gentle trade winds that reach from the nearby windward coast. There, you'll enjoy freshly made wraps, cheeses and local Waialua Estate chocolates, made with rare, pure Hawaiian cacao, grown on Oahu in the rich volcanic soil of the North Shore. Paired with a champagne toast and flower leis, this is the ultimate dream date you won't soon forget.
After your peaceful stay on sacred Hawaiian land, it's time to join the breeze as your private helicopter whisks you back up to the sky, hugging the Windward coast and cruising up to Oahu's famed North Shore, bringing you up-close aerial views of the surfers at Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay.

Halfway through the flight, you'll pass over the famous valley, famous for its role in Jurassic Park. Excitement builds as you begin your graceful descent to begin your 15 minute stay in an undisclosed, private and lush oasis away from the crowds and tourist attractions.
Your visit here includes Waialua chocolates, a champagne toast, leis and memories to last a lifetime. Rising back into the blue sky, your helicopter will take you to explore the lush forests and emerald cliffs of the awe-inspiring Ka'a'awa Valley and fly in close for a view of Oahu's highest waterfall, Sacred Falls.

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."
