Itinerary
Your helicopter sightseeing experience begins over the island’s South Shore so you can see the Honolulu skyline and Diamond Head crater in a way not possible from the beach.
Hanauma Bay’s sheltered waters and incredible coral reefs pass below you as you soar among the nearby cliffs and volcanic outcroppings – the remnants of the island’s volcanic birth.
Rounding Makapu’u Point, you follow the Windward Coast and its long stretches of white sand beaches and turquoise waters as they lead you towards the gorgeous mountains beyond.
Turning inward you pass the three sharp peaks of famous Mt. Olomana, characteristic of its English translation, “divided hill.”
The lush tropical vegetation of the Nu’uanu Valley masks a secret: Oahu was born from fire.
A breathtaking passage through the Nu’uanu Pali cliffs and the lush rainforests that lie within leads you back to the Leeward side of the island and Pearl Harbor.
The flight ends with a pass over the USS Arizona Memorial and a new appreciation of Oahu's volcanic origins and its spectacular terrain.
Get a bird's eye view of the famous Waikiki Beach shoreline.

About Honolulu
Honolulu is Hawaii's capital on the south shore of Oahu, with Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head crater, a royal palace and the Pearl Harbor memorial nearby.
Honolulu spreads along Oahu's south coast between the mountains and the sea. Waikiki Beach is the famous curve of sand, with surf lessons and outrigger canoes, and the green Diamond Head crater at its eastern end is a short hike to a summit with ocean views. In downtown Honolulu, ʻIolani Palace was the home of Hawaii's monarchs and is the only royal palace on American soil, and a gilded King Kamehameha statue stands across the road.
