Itinerary

Select a sunset departure time when booking, and begin your tour at Rainbow Helicopters located in Honolulu International Airport. Get situated inside your helicopter with doors on or off.

Climb aboard your helicopter and enjoy your pre-selected choice of a “doors on” or “doors off” flight, as you take off into the glowing skies of late-afternoon light. Cruise above some of Oahu’s most famous landmarks like the Honolulu downtown and Diamond Head as the sun begins to dip below the horizon. This natural Hawaiian “light show” will continue to get better as it adds colors like reds, oranges, pinks, and yellows, as you cruise over toward the iconic Pearl Harbor site, passing over the iconic USS Arizona Memorial before heading back to the airport.

Chris_V, Dec 2025

Amazing view first time on a chopper was awesome. Going up the Jurassic park canyon so cool. It’s definitely worth the money. It’s a great way to see the island not many get
