Clients reviews about Honolulu Helicopter Tours

On our 25th anniversary, we embarked on an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend the 60-minute no-doors tour, which offered breathtaking views and captured cherished memories. The opportunity to witness such a unique experience in Hawaii was truly blessed. Our pilot, Scott, was exceptionally courteous and knowledgeable throughout the entire journey. FYI… 60 minutes was just perfect. We were able to experience a lot of the things that was on our itinerary. One thing we would’ve done different is probably done everything that was on the itinerary and maybe do the helicopter tour last but it’s OK we wouldn’t change it for the world.!🌎 totally would recommend it request Scott very knowledgeable and it just made it even more fun and exciting!!! ~ Laura M

My wife gave me a helicopter tour for our anniversary, and it was an experience I will never forget. From high above, I beheld the majestic beauty of the Koko Head and Diamond Head mountains, and the sight was simply breathtaking. The tour provided by Honolulu Helicopter Tours was outstanding. Our pilot, Alex, was not only skilled and knowledgeable but also made the entire journey enjoyable with his friendly demeanor and informative commentary. The helicopter ride was smooth and comfortable, allowing for uninterrupted views of the stunning landscape below. I am immensely grateful for this unforgettable adventure and would highly recommend Honolulu Helicopter Tours to anyone seeking a remarkable aerial tour of Honolulu. Thank you for an incredible experience! ~ Denis K

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. ~ Luis R

First, let me say that this review is way long overdue but this experience was nothing short of amazing!!! The entire process was smooth and my partner and I had such a great time. We decided last minute (the day before my birthday back in mid July) to book a helicopter ride but everything seemed to be booked and when we were about to give up we came across Honolulu Helicopter Tours. I called and Alex helped to make a smooth hassle free transaction. I’ve always been afraid of heights but when we met with Alex the following day he made us feel so comfortable and secure that I actually enjoyed every minute of the ride. The views were SO worth it. We are in love with Hawaii and give Alex a warm thank you for such an unforgettable experience!! 😍 ~ Stephanie A

The tour was simply amazing. The views of Oahu we got were very fascinating. Stefan did a marvelous job describing what to expect and during the flight he was very personable and informative. Played some good music during the flight and took us to view the best spots in the island. Flying over the waterfall was my favorite part of the flight along with the fortune of getting to see the whales in the water from above. Even got an amazing shot of my Jordan starfish sneakers for my @lvn_la_vida_snkrs In IG. Flight was very smooth and we all had a very good time. I definitely recommend anyone visiting to go on this tour and if you live on the island and have not done it I recommend it too. I’m sure you will see parts of the island you have never seen before. ~ J D

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! ~ Tyler J

Took a sunset flight with our pilot Alexey for my birthday. The company sent a very detailed email with check in instructions which was nice, so rest assured you will know when and where to be. We were checked in and picked up promptly from the security checkpoint. It only took about 15 mins upon entry to be briefed and for the helicopter to be checked and warmed up. We were given the option for doors on or off and then took off. During our hour long flight, Alexey took the time to point out things around the island and got us close to some waterfalls and noteworthy hiking spots. Despite very minimal to no wind during our flight, Alexey made the trip quite smooth and ensured we were able to see everything along the flight path. Highly recommend going with HHT for your flight around the island! ~ Kevin S

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 ~ MaryAnn S

What an amazing experience. Seamless booking experience with Alex through the phone once referred be the Hotel. He provided exceptionally clear instructions to the location which otherwise would have been difficult to find but was easy to get to via Uber or even if you’re driving. My first ever helicopter ride and I’d gladly do it again with Honolulu Helicopters provided they provide the same amazing pilot in Bryli who was perfect in providing all the necessary reassurances for a first timer and was so cool and collected the entire flight. While it is not necessary to state, Bryli is one of a very few number of female pilots around Hawaii and what a privilege to have flown with her. Thanks for the great experience. ~ Wale M

Absolutely excellent experience! Many thanks to our professional, extremely skilled and fun pilot - Alex. My sister, her son and I were at first somewhat scared to step into a helicopter with no doors. Our pilot did an excellent job making us feel safe and calm and took us on a smooth and easy ride, where we made plenty of amazing pictures and videos. Somewhere midway we got really comfortable and changed our minds about being slow and easy - we felt so tough already. What followed next - Alex made sure we got some epic shots of adrenaline! What a fun and unforgettable experience! Oahu is so beautiful from up there. Honolulu Helicopter tours are the best. ~ Strahil I

So the flight is awesome. The island is ridiculously beautiful from the air and our pilot knew every crack and crevace and handled the helicopter excellently. But it's the staff that put this trip over the top. Kind, empathetic, genuinely awesome people you want to have a beer with. Valerie waited at the security gate for us while we cleaned puke (before the flight!) off our young son, and shared some harrowing stories of her own while taking us to the hanger. Stefan was entertaining, funny and a freaking great tour guide. Stopping scrolling just book it. I'm so grateful I found them first. Thanks guys on behalf of a VERY grateful family. Mahalo!!! ~ Matt D

Merece la pena recorrer la isla volando. El trato fue muy bueno y familiar. Una experiencia fantástica. Me sentí segura en todo momento y nada mareada. A mi hijo le encantó. Volamos con las puertas abiertas y no da ninguna inseguridad. Te van explicado en inglés las curiosidades de la isla... Resumiendo una maravillosa experiencia ~ Miriam M

Highly recommend this company. As an Air Traffic Controller you see a lot of companies come and go so it's nice to see one that prioritized safety, while providing a fun and relaxing experience. Ryan walked us through all the details clearly. Stefan then provided a thorough safety briefing and a great tour of the island. We knew what to expect at every turn so we felt very comfortable. They tailored the experience to us knowing that I am prone to motion sickness and my wife didn't feel comfortable with doors off. They suggested she sit in the front and I was in the back with doors off (the cool breeze was awesome as was the view). Worked out perfectly. Thanks again! ~ Bryce

This was the absolute highlight of our trip to Oahu! It is an amazing way to experience the island. From start to finish the tour was well planned. We arrived a bit late after hitting some traffic from Waikiki in our Uber, but the company was very understanding and flexible. We booked the 30 minute tour but would absolutely splurge on the full hr long in the future to really see it all! Our pilot Stefan was incredible across the board, from fun facts, a bumping playlist, to ensuring we felt safe and informed throughout the flight he was an awesome guide and pilot. The flight itself was fairly smooth and bump free. Simply can’t recommend this enough, you won’t regret it! ~ Sarah S

Sind Stunden später immer noch gefläscht von demtollen Erlebnis.Mit einem sehr netten Schweizer Piloten,hatten wir den totalen Spaß.war zwar etwas Kalt,aber mit der Heizung gut auszuhalten,Kann man nicht beschreiben,muß jeder selber erleben.Zwar nicht günstig,aber eine Erfahrung für das Leben.würde ich sogar nochmal machen,einfach topp, ~ Matsch F

For our group of three people, the helicopter experience, piloted by Stefan, was fantastic! Stefan provided informative commentary, enhancing the journey with interesting facts about the landmarks we flew over. The smooth flight and the feeling of weightlessness as we hovered above the landscape added to the thrill. Stefan's thoughtful touch, like switching on the heater to keep us warm, ensured our comfort throughout the ride. The crew's professionalism and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. It's an adventure I'd highly recommend for anyone seeking an adrenaline rush and a unique perspective of Hawaii's stunning views. ~ Nisha S

My husband and I ended our wedding night with a helicopter tour over Honolulu and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Ryan was extremely easy to communicate with and he made us feel very comfortable and safe the entire time. He made the tour feel very personalized and catered to us every step of the way. Anyone who talks with Ryan can feel how passionate he is about flying helicopters and it enhanced our experience tenfold. Ryan also went above and beyond to help our videographer get the shots he needed! The tour was easily one of the highlights of our trip. I would hands-down recommend a tour with Honolulu Helicopter Tours to anyone visiting Oahu! ~ Kat F

It was a very pleasant experience! We came there as a party of three (Father and two daughters aged 17&14) and had booked a 60min tour with doors off. The safety instructor, Valerie, was really kind, before the tour they offered free drinks and snacks. They also offered sunglasses in case one didn’t have any. Our pilot Stefan was really great. He was very relaxed and knew a lot about the island and gave us information as we flew. He even had a playlist with some good songs to which we could list to, over the headsets, while flying. The takeoff and landing were really smooth and overall it was a cool and fun way to see Hawaii from a different angle. I would highly recommend this, especially since it covers areas like the Diamond Head, where you usually have to hike your way up, or the Sacred Waterfalls which you don’t usually can see as a tourist. ~ rieke

We’re incredibly grateful for the unforgettable experience of flying over Oahu. The views were absolutely breathtaking—from the turquoise waters of Waikiki to the lush Koʻolau Mountains and the stunning Sacred Falls. Every moment felt magical and gave us a new appreciation for the island’s beauty. A special thank you to our pilot, who was not only highly skilled but also so friendly and knowledgeable. They made the experience even more special by pointing out landmarks and sharing interesting stories about the island. It was truly an adventure of a lifetime, and we’re so thankful for this incredible opportunity! ~ Биша Б

Professional, personable, and experienced! I wanted to make my 17th wedding anniversary one to remember. From booking until the flight's conclusion, Ryan made this tour an unforgettable experience. He played music, provided insight on locations as well as an up-close and personal on some of O'ahu's main attractions. He even picked up a lei that I pre-ordered for my wife as a surprise. Safety was an important topic as he briefed us on emergency landing, seat belts, and staying inside aircraft during flight. He has a passion for flying and it shows! I highly recommend Honolulu Helecopter tours! ~ Quintin E

Una buena experiencia. Les recomiendo si no tienen miedo de alturas. Hay 2 opciones una sin puerta, otra con puerta abierta. 30 minutos esta bueno para ver mas pero 1 hora una tambien . Les recomiendo trae una chamarra/campera. Se puede llevar las camaras. Tienen straps pero si lo tienes mejor. ~ dB S

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an unforgettable experience on our doors-off helicopter tour over Oahu on January 5th at 9 AM! The 60-minute flight was incredible, and our pilot, Scott, made it even more special. My husband has a major fear of heights, but Scott was so calming and reassuring throughout the entire flight, which made him feel completely at ease, even with the doors off. As for me, I was absolutely in awe of the stunning views and the whole experience. I loved every second of it and honestly didn’t want it to end—I was ready to go again the moment we landed! I’m already planning another trip to Oahu at the end of May 2025, and I cannot wait to book this tour again. I’m literally booking it just so I can fly with this amazing company and crew once more! Thank you to Scott and the entire team for such an incredible adventure. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oahu! You won’t regret it! 🌟 ~ Jenny F

Helicopters have always been one of my biggest fears! I decided to do this for our 35th anniversary and surprise my husband. Jacob was great about explaining everything to me and letting Stefan (pilot) know my fears. I am not only scared of helicopters but also heights. I put on my big girl pants and went for it. Stefan checked on me frequently to make sure I was doing okay and that I wasn’t getting sick or completely freaking out. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It was amazing! Never could we have seen the views and the beauty of O’ahu like we did! Just do it, they will take good care of you and you won’t regret it. ~ Kandy J

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! ~ Sean A
