Fantastic adventure
Reviewed by: Kenneth Pyle, 2023/08/12Fantastic way to see the island. Flight was fun and informative. Pilot was great and the ground crew was fantastic. Was shown parts of the island I would never see from the ground. A ride and experience I will never forget.

First Time
Reviewed by: Diana Gonzalez, 2021/06/24This was our first time traveling to Hawaii and the Magnum Helicopter Doors-Off Island Tour was our first activity. An absolutely incredible experience. You get to see the whole island and popular sites to visit. It is honestly breathtaking. Anyone who visits Hawaii should definitely try this out especially with the amazing staff who made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Thank you so much !

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!
Reviewed by: Lea , 2019/07/30I loved this experience. Location was easier to find. Check in was simple and easy. I liked the safety video. The real star was the helicopter ride. I highly recommend seeing Oahu from a helicopter and with the doors off!! I was able to take so many amazing pictures. I have been to Oahu many times and seen some of the sights from ground level, but it is nothing like seeing it from the air! Breathtaking!! The ground crew was fabulous, so helpful! I sat in the back on the right side. That was the only thing that was a bummer. I didn't get to a good view of Waikiki and some of the other sights on the left. The pilot, Steve, did do some circles to allow the right side riders to see, but many times, it was enough time to see and take photos. It is windy in the back, so I had to purse my lips throughout most of the flight to keep my lips and cheeks from flapping everywhere! I did wear a sweatshirt because there was a slight chill from the higher altitude. Overall, I give this experience a 10 out of 10!! If I every get back to Hawaii, I will take this helicopter ride again!!

The experience was amazing
Reviewed by: Cid, 2018/01/23The pilot was great, his knowledge of the sites and explanations was entertaining and informative, the music choices were good and the flight was not scary (for those of us who were a bit nervous); instead is was like a magic carpet ride.
I would definitely recommend this trip to friends!AS

The greatest birthday adventure!!
Reviewed by: Glenn, 2017/04/11Wow, what an experience. Definitely a MUST-DO while you are in Oahu! I loved the Doors-Off experience as it gave me a chance to get some incredible photos of the island from the air. BUT even more importantly, it was such a unique experience to experience flying as the wind and air rushes by! I'll never forget it. And the service and experience was exactly what you could hope for. The Magnum Helicopter experience was AWESOME, trust me, you'll love it. Best birthday surprise you could ask for.

Makani Kai absolutely amazing!
Reviewed by: Brooke Rhoades, 2016/07/30It was such a great experience! I booked it as a surprise for my mums birthday and she loved it. It's greatly priced especially for it going for 45mins - usually that time frame would cost nearly double that.
The pilot (Margo) did a wonderful job, she pointed a lot of things out, she was funny and made us all feel completely safe :)
I highly recommend it to everyone! Loved every minute of it.

The views were azming!
Reviewed by: Daniel Haquet, 2016/07/14This was the final activity of our week in Oahu for our 10yr anniversary and WOW!! Talk about ending with a bang. The views were awesome, the pilot was a nice guy and the ride was smooth. For me the best part was the view of pearl harbor, we went and visited the Arizona Memorial earlier that week but to see the aerial view was simply stunning, the emotions were ones that will never be forgotten, thanks to Makani Kai Helicopter Tours.
Daniel, thank you very much for your great review. I'm happy that you so thoroughly enjoyed your tour. Come back sometime and try our Doors Off tour...it's a gas.

Amazing time.
Reviewed by: Adri , 2016/06/08Jim, our pilot, was seriously great. From the moment Peter picked us up, I wasn't jittery. And I get jittery. But everything was calm and relaxing and the tour was great! Jim was hilarious and knowledgable.
Thanks, Ardi, for taking the time to write. A good review is like catnip to our folks...they love getting feedback. I'm glad that you enjoyed your experience.

Excellent tour of Oahu from the skies
Reviewed by: Zhanna, 2016/04/03We got the upgrades version and sat in the front with the pilot. It was the perfect view and I was able to take breathtaking pictures. There was so much to see in areas we wouldn't have been able to hike to on the ground. The pilot was funny and knowledgeable. It was a fantastic experience and a highlight within our first trip to Hawaii.

Great fun and brilliant way to see Oahu from a different prospective
Reviewed by: Emanuela Pari, 2015/05/09The helicopter trip was brilliant. I was a bit nervous since I had never done this before but our pilot Jim was great at explaining what was happening and why. He kept us entertained for the full journey at the same time providing lots of useful info. The view was breath-taking especially for those parts of the island that can't be reached via road. Would definitely recommend this activity if you want to see Oahu from a completely different prospective.
