loved it

Reviewer: Mr. DRFAJ  Posted on 29 Jun 2011
Overall Rating:
was skeptical at first b/ c i'd never been on a chopper before. it was a smooth ride with an experienced pilot. i was able to actually be over a rainbow...somewhere over the rainbow, way up high! would do it again. highly recommend it. you only live once.

Very safe and extremely enjoyable

Reviewer: Ms. Cecelia  Posted on 31 Aug 2009
Overall Rating:
Makani Kai has one of the best reputations for safety in the islands. Knowing that, the experience of flying over the island of Oahu was quite enjoyable and relaxing. The pilot and ground crew are efficient and courteous. Easy to find if you drive yourself with available free parking!

Helicopter Ride

Reviewer: Arnold  Posted on 3 Jul 2009
Overall Rating:
My group 8 people took on the ride and 8 came back stating this was by far the best thing they had experienced and all 8 said they would go back again and Highly suggest anyone wanting to see from the sky down what is happening need to take the 60 minute ride as our group did. Thanks for a wonderful time members of the Vacation Club.

The Helicopter Tour was a terrific experience for first time vistors to the island...also for someone who has never rode in a helicopter! Highly recommend the company and the helpful staff! We ordered the video from our ride and received within the week as stated...we were quite surprised they were so accurate in sending it to us...THANKS!!

Absolutely loved it! It was a great way to get a fast introduction to Oahu, and thereafter help us plan the rest of our stay on where to go and what to see. The video was delivered even before we arrived home!

Good Flight

Reviewer: Mr. paultje_007  Posted on 9 May 2008
Overall Rating:
This activity was well worth spending money for.
In one hour you have seen the entire island from a bird's eye view.
Way better than any island tour from the ground in uncomfortable tourbusses.
The heli is great, peacefull and very safy & smooth. Also because of a great pilot / tour guide. He knows the island well, just as much how he knows his aircraft.

As a to-become heli-pilot myself, it's been great seeing one pilot entertaining 6 people while keeping the heli as smooth & steady as possible and forfilling a safe flight in constant contact with the tower all by himself.

Cheers for that,mate!
And to the entire team of Makani Kai Heli Tours for having had a wonderfull morning!


Regards,


Paul

My boyfriend and I had a great time on the helicopter tour. The staff was wonderful and the pilot was amazing! He was very detailed about everything we saw, and pointed out so many things we would of never noticed! We got tons of amazing pictures and video of this unforgetable experience. Definitely something we would do again!

Great All Around!!!

Reviewer: Mr. M & Mrs. M  Posted on 19 Apr 2008
Overall Rating:
Great Ride from the beginning to the end. We were picked up on time briefed about what to do and expect. Staff was very friendly. Our guide on the helicopter was very informative. Yes, your seated by weight and ofcourse you've definitely scored if you're in the front but, you have just as great a view in the back. You'll get more than enough great pictures. How can you really complain, your seeing Oahu from the sky and taking in more than expected.We even got to see a waterfall!!! Our ride back to our hotel was just as great with everyone chatting up a storm and our driver interacting with us as well and even giving us tips on where to go and what to see and do.

We wish the dvd player would have been working so that we could have purchased a personalized copy of our tour. Getting a basic one for free was nice though...thanks for trying to do the right thing!

Not Bad

Reviewer: Mr. Anonymous  Posted on 6 Jul 2007
Overall Rating:
Never been on a helicopter so this was really exciting for me. It is a great way to see the island. The way you are seated in the helicopter is by weight distribution with other passangers so it is by chance you get the window seat or not. The only small complain I have is that I wish the pilot could have circled or turned around on some spots so everyone could have a chance to view the scene. I was lucky to have a window seat but there where times when I had to strain over to see a tourist spot on the other side of the copter and I would be lucky if I was even able to catch a small glimpse of whatever the attraction was.

Helicoptor tour over the falls

Reviewer: Mr. Rory  Posted on 27 Apr 2007
Overall Rating:
This is an excellent adventure. I would highly recommend this tour. A great way to see the Island for the first time. These folks are very professional and the equipment is in great condition. The pilots knowledge of the Island really made the tour more than a good view. I felt very safe while on the tour.
Thanks for a wonderful experience.
