What are people saying about Hawaii

Hien_T, Aug 2026

Amazing experience!

What an amazing ride! My niece and I had the wonderful pleasure of having our pilot Conor take us around the island. He gave a great tour and pointed out every point of interest as we flew over them. The weather was perfect! The perfect amount of sunshine and clouds! He even lived up to their name Rainbow helicopters and we were able to get a rainbow on our tour! I would definitely do the tour again!

Private Kauaʻi Helicopter Experience: Doors-Off ALL WINDOW SEATS

Melinda_D, Jul 2026

Unforgettable adventure

Our doors-off helicopter tour was one of the absolute highlights of our trip! The views were breathtaking, and there is nothing quite like the euphoric feeling of soaring above the island with nothing between you and the incredible scenery. Megan was a fantastic guide. She shared interesting information about the island throughout the flight and made sure we saw as many of the highlights as possible despite the windy conditions. We especially appreciated that safety was always her top priority. The entire staff was organized, prompt, and genuinely friendly from start to finish. They even gave us the option to reschedule because of the morning fog, which showed they truly cared about giving us the best possible experience. This was an unforgettable adventure, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kauai. It was an unbelievable experience we'll never forget!

Maui: Road to Hana Luxury Limo-Van Tour with Helicopter Flight

Susan_B, Jul 2026

Spectacular trip!

This excursion was spectacular! The helicopter ride to Hanna is a must do while in Maui. The scenery is like something out to a movie. Beautiful views of the rainforest, coastal cliffs and waterfalls! Scott was our guide on our ride down from Hanna and he was awesome. We learned a lot of history about the island of Maui from him. What a fantastic time! I highly recommend this excursion!

Luxury Helicopter Experience with Hana Rainforest Landing

Bobby_H, Jul 2026

Everything about this...

Everything about this trip was well thought and executed flawlessly. Our pilot was the nicest and most talented we’ve ever experienced. When we landed in the Hana rainforest after sipping some champagne, he walked us around and showed us the local plant life and told us the history of the plants and the region. I would do this trip 1000 more times.

Kauai Deluxe Waterfall Safari: Helicopter Tour

Madeline_S, Jul 2026

Worth every penny! Spectacular!

The must surreal, amazing experience my husband and I have ever had! My kids ages 8,9, and 12 were also in awe! Seeing the views from above was breathtaking, and the music going along with everything really pushed it over the top! Our guide was incredible and pointed out everything my kids were interested in from the Jurassic park waterfall, to where Captain Jack runs for his life, as well as answered all of the questions my husband and I asked. Everyone was so friendly and we would DEFINITELY book again. Worth every penny!

Kauai Airplane Tour: Na Pali Coast, Waterfalls & Window Seats

Lance_O, Jun 2026

A must-do experience when visiting Kauai.

When visiting Kauai, taking a small six-person seater plane tour is a must. There’s plenty of room to look out of both sides of the windows, offering stunning views of the coastline, including Poipu Beach, coffee farms, the Na Pali Coast, Tunnels Beach, Hanalei Bay, Princeville, and the beautiful waterfalls in the middle of the island. With so many scenic locations to enjoy, this experience is definitely worth it, especially for the price.

Kauai Eco Adventure Helicopter Tour

Dorothy_C, Jun 2026

This was the highlight of...

This was the highlight of our Hawaii cruise and worth every penny. The views of Kauai, the Na Pali Coast, waterfalls, and canyons were absolutely breathtaking. Our entire family loved it. Our pilot, Steve, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, professional, and did a wonderful job pointing out landmarks and sharing information throughout the flight. As someone who is nervous about flying, I especially appreciated how calm and confident he was. He completely put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience. My only minor criticism is the check-in process. We were asked to arrive an hour early, but after being weighed and watching a brief safety video, there was a lot of waiting around, and our flight ultimately departed about 30 minutes late. It wasn’t a big enough issue to affect our enjoyment of the tour, but I think the arrival time could be shortened or the communication improved. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience and a true bucket-list activity. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Kauai.

Big Island, Hawaii: Volcanoes National Park Safari

Rachna_A, Jun 2026

Amazing first ever helicopter ride

The safari helicopter crew were friendly and very helpful. Our pilot Andrew is very experienced and our flight was very smooth. We were all first time helicopter fliers, so were very nervous but it wasn’t scary at all. He shared lots of fun information about Hawaii and showed us amazing views. One recommendation about the time slot, pick an earlier time if you can. We went around noon and it was really hot even though the helicopter was climate controlled.

Oʻahu Private Helicopter Experience: All Window Seats

Amanda_G, Jun 2026

A must do!

Where do I even begin!! From beginning to end this was hands down my favorite experience on our week long trip! One tip: be aware that the weather changes constantly here, the day we booked turned out to be a bad weather day so we were given the option to reschedule or take a different route. We decided on getting what we could get and STILL was so incredible. Our greeter, Malia, was so sweet and answered our million questions and set our minds at ease as we were a little nervous as first timers. Our pilot, Aaron was awesome, told us so much about the land and still gave us our hour time slot. The experience of seeing the land from above is like no other! Truly truly 1000/10. We will be adding helicopter rides to our trips from here on!

West Maui and Molokai Special 45-Minute Helicopter Tour

Samir_S, Apr 2026

Truly amazing experience

This helicopter ride was a once in a lifetime experience. Our pilot, Cameron, was very professional, and was so good that we felt safe and at ease during the whole ride. The views were spectacular and Cameron embellished them with his commentary and some jokes! Would highly recommend doing this if you're visiting Hawaii.
