I felt amazing. It became my best memory. The price is a bit high, but I have nothing to say about the sound, scenery, etc. Definitely, please try the first class without a door! I just wish there had been guidance in Japanese.
最高の気分でした。一番の想い出になりました。料金はちょっと高いけれど、音、風景色など、何も言うことありません。是非、ドア無しのファーストクラスヘどうぞ❗️ただ、日本語の案内があれば良かったですね。

In Hawaii, there are no bus stops due to the landscape, so if you're not used to traveling by bus, I think taking a taxi is the safest option. Regular taxis are very expensive, so I recommend using Uber. Just enter the address, and you're good to go!
I made a few wrong turns, but since Uber has fixed pricing, the fare doesn't increase even if the time or distance exceeds the estimate! Maybe it's Hawaiian time, but they handled everything smoothly even with a slight delay. Thank you to the staff.
Since I wanted to propose in a helicopter, I secretly consulted with the staff while my partner went to the restroom. You can manage even with limited English! There are a good number of proposals happening, and the staff are professionals, so I think they can understand even with just a few words. Before boarding, we quickly discussed with the pilot and staff, saying, "I'll say this here, and this will be the signal!"
I definitely recommend going without a door instead of with one! I had requested a doorless option in advance, but they also confirm it on the day. There are seatbelts, so you can feel secure!
ハワイは景観面からバス停が存在していないとか、バス移動が不慣れな方はこちらへのアクセスはタクシーが無難かと思います。
正規のタクシーはとても高いため、Uberタクシーをおすすめします。
住所を打ち込むだけでOkay!
道を何回か間違われましたが、(Uberタクシーは金額が決まっているため時間や距離の超過でも増額されません!)ハワイアンタイムなのか、多少遅れても問題なく手続きしてくださいました。
スタッフさんありがとうございます。
折角ならとプロポーズはヘリコプターで上空でと、、サプライズ!と決めていたためパートナーがお手洗いに行った隙にスタッフの方にこっそり相談。
英語力がなくとも多少話せればイケます!一定数プロポーズされる方やあちらもプロフェッショナルですので手慣れており、単語でも伝わると思います。
乗る前にパイロット、スタッフの方と"ここでこう言うからこれが合図だから!"
そんな打ち合わせをさくっと交わし、いざ。
ドア有りよりもドア無しが断然おすすめです!事前にドアなしを申し込みしておりましたが、当日現地でも確認されます。シートベルトがあるためしっかり安心!
ヘリコプター会社は多々あるため、きちんと確認が必要。レインボー

I have experienced helicopter tours in Japan, but this was my first time on a doorless helicopter in Hawaii. On the day of the flight, there were clouds and wind, and once we took off, it was quite bumpy 😨 I wondered if I would tell the pilot that I was a bit worried, but I guess that's just how it is in Hawaii. Despite the slight turbulence, the pilot remained completely unfazed, calmly explaining the spots we were flying over (I couldn't understand anything since I don't speak English, though! (laughs)).
That said, the view of Hawaii from above was amazing. It's a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it! Seeing Diamond Head from the sky was incredible! However, I read in previous reviews that they used to lend out phone cases for free, but now it's $5. Also, during the flight, they took dozens of photos from almost the same angle... I bought them as a keepsake. So, I give it four stars (laughs). But the experience is definitely worth it!
日本でもヘリ遊覧はしたことがありますが、ハワイでのドア無しヘリは初体験。
当日は雲と風もあり、飛んでみたらかなりの揺れ😨大丈夫かなぁ〜…と途中でパイロットに言おうかと思いましたが、ハワイではいつもの事なんですね。多少の揺れでもパイロットは微動だにせず、淡々と操縦しながらスポットの説明をしていました(英語が分からないので何言ってるかさっぱり分かりませんでしたが(笑))
とは言え、上空からのハワイの景色は最高でした。少し高めですが、それなりの価値はあると思いますよ!ダイヤモンドヘッドを上空からなんて♪
でも、前の口コミでは携帯ケースを無料で貸してくれたとなっていましたが、今は有料で5$でした。あと、フライト時に写真をバチバチ撮られてほぼ同じアングルが数十枚…記念なので買いましたが。なので星4つ(笑)
でも、体験の価値はありますよ!
It wasn't as extremely cold as mentioned in the reviews, but a long-sleeve hoodie and long pants are a good choice. (Also, your hairstyle might get messy.)
口コミにあるほどむちゃくちゃ寒いわけではなかったですが、長袖のパーカーと長パン程度が良いですよ。
(あと髪型はゴチャゴチャになります)

What an amazing experience. You will not regret doing this activity. Jeff was our pilot and he came with a lot of experience under his belt. He had so much knowledge about Oahu and his narrating was great. I would definitely do this again 100%.
Do the VIP "Front seats" if you can. It is a little extra but well worth it.

This was so awesome and our pilot was so knowledgeable about the whole area, she even circled around the water a couple of times when we spotted a whale in the water, she was also in the navy at one time and had a lot of knowledge about Pearl Harbor. I highly recommend this flight, it is for 1 hour and you see a lot.
Wear a jacket if doing doors off, it gets really windy and chilly at times.
Aloha Lynn,
Mahalo for the wonderful review! We're so happy to hear you had an awesome experience on your Royal Crown of Oahu tour. It sounds like you had an unforgettable flight — spotting a whale is always such a special moment!
We’re thrilled to hear your pilot made the experience even better with her knowledge and passion for the island (and her service background — we’re proud to have her on our team!). Thank you for the great tip about bringing a jacket — that’s definitely a smart call for our doors-off flights.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you aboard again someday!
Warmest aloha,

I made the reservation based on the recommendation of Mr. Tamura from Bon Voyage Kobe, and thanks to the prior briefing, the sightseeing went smoothly. The local staff's response was a bit lacking as the acceptance situation changed multiple times before we started, but Mr. Tamura from Bon Voyage Kobe coordinated everything, so I was able to start with peace of mind. The helicopter tour without doors was amazing!

After arriving at the airport, I took a helicopter. It's just a short taxi ride from the airport. I had a more enjoyable time than I expected. I want everyone to experience this tour to see the stunning views of Hawaii, rather than just riding a helicopter in Japan.

They will lend you a case for your sunglasses and phone. I felt colder than I expected, so it's better to dress warmly.

This was my tenth helicopter tour in Honolulu, including the experience of piloting. I brought along a friend who was trying it for the first time.
The wind was strong that day, and the eastern side of Oahu in winter was particularly rough. A bit disappointing!
I think winter is a good time for a helicopter tour around Honolulu.
Another disappointment was the prohibition on taking photos in front of the helicopter before departure, and even after returning. It seems they want to sell photos taken by the helicopter company.
In the past (with a different helicopter company), I was able to take pictures in front of the helicopter with my own camera, and the pilot was happy to pose for the camera. I understand it's a business, but I wish they would allow us to take at least this kind of photo.
ホノルルのヘリ遊覧は体験操縦も含めて10数回目。今回、ヘリ初体験の友を案内で同乗。
この日は風強く、冬のオアフの東側はなお荒れる。ちょい残念!
冬場はホノルル遊覧程度が良いように思う。
もう一つ、更に残念だったのは出発前のヘリの前での撮影禁止。帰着した後も。ヘリ会社撮影の写真を売りたいためか。
今までは(ヘリ会社は他社)ヘリの前で自前のカメラで、パイロットもすすんでカメラに収まってくれた。
商売だから仕方ないがこの程度の写真は撮らせて欲しい。

Neither my spouse nor I speak English, but the staff used a translation app to explain everything to us. Please prepare your passport as identification! A copy is also acceptable. They provide a drop-proof strap that can be fixed to your smartphone or camera.
Other helicopter tours had weight restrictions that prevented us from participating, but this tour has a limit based on the total weight of all participants, so even those who are a bit chubby can join. The 60-minute tour over Oahu offers great views and is thrilling without windows! On the way there, the left side seats have a good view of Honolulu's cityscape, while the right side overlooks the ocean.
We also flew over areas in the mountains where cars can't go, so I'm really glad we participated! The lack of hotel pick-up was a downside, but now with Uber, it's easy to use it for round trips.
I've participated in various activities, and if you're hesitating, I really recommend joining this one; it was fantastic!
夫婦共々英語出来ませんが、スタッフさんは翻訳アプリなど使って説明してくれました。
身分証明書はパスポート用意してね!コピーでもOK。
スマホやカメラに落下防止の本体固定式のストラップ付けてくれます。
他のヘリコプターツアーは体重制限があって参加できませんでしたが、このツアーは参加者全員の体重での制限なので、少々ポッチャリさんでも参加できます。
オアフ島60分のツアーで景色もよく窓なしでスリル満点です!
行きは左側の席がホノルルの街並みが良く見えます。右側は海になります。
車が行けない山の上所も飛ぶので、本当に参加してよかった!
ホテルまでの送迎がないのがネックでしたが、今はUVERもあるので、往復UVER利用すると楽です。
色々アクティビティ参加しましたが、悩んでる方いたら本当に良かったので参加してみて下さい。

P.S. The instructions ahead of time say to bring a lanyard for your phone and your glasses, so I ordered both off of amazon. When you arrive, the staff had phone lanyards available and said that the headphones that you wear will hold your glasses/sunglasses on.
