    Fun! Fun! Fun! We took the doors off, hour long tour of the island, and it was spectacular! Ryan was our pilot and he is very skilled and personable. We felt very safe and comfortable the whole time. Snapped some great pics (posted just a few here). Highly recommend seeing the island from above with Honolulu Helicopter Tours-we are still smiling 3 days later!

    AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Ryan was a great pilot and super knowledgeable. He told stories, jokes, and a little history of on what we were looking at. I felt so safe for my first helicopter ride. We rode with no doors which I highly recommend for amazing pictures.

    This was a great way to start our trip! We did the 18 minute tour with the doors off and it was the perfect mix of sightseeing, exhilaration, and awe for the lowest priced private tour on the island. Stefan was a great pilot and tour guide....he adapted the flying based on our comfort level and pointed out a few landmarks that we actually ended up seeking out later on our trip!

    I have no words to describe how awesome the experience was from start to finish. The views were spectacular from the land, sea and coast. Stefan was not only knowledgeable, extremely experienced in flying but fun and a great guide. We learnt more things in this one trip than our entire vacation thus far, including historical facts. If you have the opportunity to take a helicopter ride then Honolulu Helicopter Tours is the company to do it with. Thank you Stefan 🤗

    We had a wonderful experience. It was so beautiful. Our pilot was awesome. I was a bit nervous for my son, but our pilot helped ease my anxiety and gave us options if needed. He also shared interesting information and explained what was next/where we were throughout the tour, which was great. My son is more adventurous than I am and we both loved it. So glad we did it and I highly recommend them. The entire experience was very pleasant.

    Our helicopter tour was absolutely amazing! The pilot Stefan was really knowledgeable, professional, and fun person. He flew us over major parts of Oahu. The scenery was fantastic! Despite it was a bit windy Stefan took a great care of us. No doubt this experience totally worth it! This was an unforgettable birthday gift and those memories we will never forget!🚁 🤙

    The helicopter tour was the highlight of our trip to the islands. The pilot (wish I could remember her name) was informative, personable, and skilled. We had some fair tailwinds as we scooted about. She took great care of us. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. It’s a little cooler at 1500 feet than I anticipated, as they recommend, I should have brought a jacket. Well worth the cost as it is an unforgettable experience.

    This was hands down the most beautiful and overstimulating (in a good way) experience I’ve ever had in my life. Seeing the island from that vantage point was other worldly. Ryan was a fantastic guide. Professional, informed, and well humored, he made the tour comfortable for what could be a nerve racking experience for a first time flyer. Highly Recommend!

    I had a wonderful experience on my 60 minute shared helicopter tour! It is a 4 seater helicopter which gives everyone on the tour a perfect view and the doors were off which so cool! I felt extremely safe and in good hands the entire time and the views were just breathtaking. I have been with other big companies and this company is by far the best! Look no further book with Honolulu Helicopter Tours… they are the best!!

    This was one of the highlights of our trip!! Stefan was a fantastic pilot and showed us all the best parts of Oahu. I get pretty bad motion sickness and he ensured my comfort throughout the trip (took wider turns, checked in on me throughout our flight). This is worth every penny and is a memory we will have forever 🚁 ♥️ Tip: do this early on in your trip, that way you can pick out beaches or attractions you might want to visit

    We did the 1 hour tour over the whole island early in the morning. There were some clouds but the light was incredible. The landscapes you get to see are absolutely astonishing!! Stefan, our pilot, was great, and we got to learn a lot about the island history. 100% recommend this tour, worth every single penny!

    We had an amazing helicopter flight! Alex was our pilot and he did a great job flying and also explaining everything to us. I’m a realtor in Honolulu and took my clients for a flight over their newly bought condo and along Oahu’s south shore and back over the Pali. The ride was very smooth and the views were amazing. My clients absolutely loved it! I’ve been on multiple helicopter rides before with other companies but this was by far my best flight ever! I can highly recommend the 30 minute flight with Honolulu Helicopter Tours and I’d suggest to take the tour with “doors off” for an even better experience!

    10/10 will be going back. Alex and team were very professional and made everyone feel safe. We did the photography tour and while the photos online are great, it doesn't do it justice. You have to go see for yourself. O'ahu is so beautiful from the air and a helicopter is the best way to do it. I cant wait to come back!

  • 5/5 Angela V. 2 years ago on Google
    This was our first time in a helicopter, my fiancé and I had a blast, the scenery was just breathtaking, Alex our pilot went above and beyond to get the best views and also gave us information about the sites in the island. Totally recommend them!!

  • 5/5 Aleksandra M. 2 years ago on Google
    This was my first helicopter flight and I can say for sure that flying with Helicopter tours was the best thing that I have done lately! I am very afraid of flying , but the flight was so exciting and the pilot was professional that my fear disappeared as soon as we took off! We saw many incredible views and even had a short excursion! Thank you very much to Alexey for such an experience) Do not even hesitate to book a flight - you will remember this for a long time!

  • 5/5 Tutial1 B. 2 years ago on Google
    I had the pleasure of flying around Oahu courtesy of Alexey and I gotta say that it was an awesome experience. The views were amazing and it gave us ideas on what places to go and visit. Also, His piloting skills were superb. If you’re able to do this, go for it. You won’t regret it! 😁

  • 5/5 Sean A. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing experience! Stefan was a wonderful pilot and guide, very knowledgeable and easy going! We chose doors off, we didn't get cold or chilly, do it! Stefan had phone teathers so we could take pictures without fear of losing them. Thank you for accommodating us on a short notice call to squeeze us in for a tour! It was a wonderful way to take in the majority of the island to plan how we spent our limited time to explore. We shared our experience with others in our travel group and they were also able to go on a tour with Honolulu Heli and they too had a wonderful experience. First class!

    What a awesome experience with honolulu helicopter tours! thank you Alex for all the great insights as we toured the island! this was the highlight of our trip, to be able to see all these places we visited on the ground from the air. this view of pear harbor was the best! to be able to see the vistas that you can not get to on foot( hidden waterfall) was a treat! thank you again for an amazing experience!

  • 5/5 Luis R. 11 months ago on Google
    This experience was absolutely jaw-dropping and I recommend it to everyone. My girlfriend and I did the 60 minute tour and it felt like 10 minutes. We looked at each other in amazement at least five times. Our pilot Stefan was super informative and very funny, and made us feel safe (we went with the Doors Off option which was scary for a few minutes but then you get more comfortable). He would check in on us every few minutes just to make sure we were good. Everything was very professional and smooth. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend. I would consider booking towards the beginning of your trip like we did in case you have to postpone due to weather. The last couple of days of our trip it was very windy and/or rainy and we kept saying to each other how lucky we were to have booked it early.

  • 5/5 Bradley B. 6 months ago on Google
    It was a wonderful trip with our pilot Stephan! He was very knowledgeable about the island and provided a very smooth ride even through some of the more complex maneuvers. For the most beautiful sights he made sure to circle and give both sides of the helicopter a view. I recommend the windows off option - at first I was reluctant, but it was really worth it. Overall really great communication, focus on safety and an absolutely stunning way to view the island. Highly recommend!

    Among all that has been an amazing Oahu trip filled with beauty and adventure, our 60-minute Honolulu Helicopter Tour with Alex was the ultimate highlight. We had done a doors-off helicopter tour in Kauai before, but this one was so much better. Alex was the best pilot/tour guide we could ask for and all the interaction we had with the crew leading up to our flight was friendly and professional. Honolulu Helicopter Tours has a family vibe to it and we definitely loved that. Our 4:30 departure gave us amazing views filled with golden light and the doors off was ideal for photography. Alex was amazing with our 13 year-old son who wants to be a pilot and this trip couldn't have been more inspiring for him. A Honolulu Helicopter Tour will be a must-do for all future trips to Oahu. We wish there were more stars than five to give!

    Phillip & I spontaneously chose to take a 30 min helicopter jaunt over southwest part of Oahu. Fortunately, the company’s pilot (Alex) was avail. Meet & greet with our pilot, golf cart travel to trailer & to helicopter. Important protocols & logistics highlighted, refreshments (snacks & beverages), restroom facilities, care of personal body while in helicopter. Boundaries noted during communication gadget issuance. Tail & too propellers explained & why/how to respect & avoid hazards. Life jacket was issued as well… plus pilot offered grip lanyards that braced cell phones securely. Anyone who truly wants to see? Take a helicopter tour… open window… no doors… only way to explore. Aloha - converted Helicopter traveler. FAITAU

    Great experience with the guys! Good with our kids. Both were very nice and knowledgeable! I would definitely recommend these guys and the 18 minute flight price may not last long once they get really busy!

  • 5/5 Steve A. 7 months ago on Google
    Sent my family on an hour Long Island tour. Stefan their pilot was amazing as was the entire experience. Incredible time for everyone we would 1000% recommend it as a once I a lifetime bucket list worthy experience.

  • 5/5 Angie V. 6 months ago on Google
    I HIGHLY recommend Honolulu Helicopter Tour. Ryan was not only an excellent pilot but so knowledgeable pointing out everything along the way. There is such much amazing tranquil, beautiful scenery from the ocean to the peaks. You will be in awe. Added bonus, having a little rain on the other side of the island where we saw full circle rainbows. Won't ever forget.

  • 5/5 Diana P. 6 months ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful tour! My pilot, Stephen, was fantastic and knowledgeable of the island. I opted for the private, doors off option, and I was not disappointed! The views were breathtaking! I highly recommend this company.

  • 5/5 Sandy A. 2 years ago on Google
    The helicopter ride was the perfect touch on my Oahu experience! Ryan was an awesome pilot and showed us all the sites, letting me grab some amazing photos along with it. You guys are great!
