Paradise Helicopter Tour - Valleys & Waterfall Explorer (from Turtle Bay)
Soar through the skies of Oahu by helicopter and see the beauty of the North Shore from above. Choose a scenic landing or go "doors off" for added thrills.
Embark on what is easily one of Oahu's most popular helicopter tours; a scenic flight through the valleys of the towering Ko'olau Mountains, past several famous cascades, including the 1,000-foot Sacred Falls (Kaliuwa'a). Experience iconic sights from above, such as the spreading coral of Kaneohe Bay, stretches of breathtaking coastline and Pearl Harbor. You can even book a landing at Kualoa Ranch, a place made famous as a film set for blockbuster productions like "Jurassic Park."
