All Reviews for Helicopter Sightseeing Tours

Thanks Jim , absolutely fabulous, great knowledge of the area, best sights not available anywhere else, well worth taking this tour we had a perfect day to fly, my daughter was a bit nervous but wanted to get straight back up. Jo & Sharen from Australia

Amazing!! A "must do" for any new visitor. Even my spouse who lived here before saw things that he had not seen before.

We had Jim as our pilot entertained us with facts and fun! You need to do this to see Hawaii as it was. He got in close to the mountains and the falls where you could never hike it was unforgettable and worth every penny ! Thanks Jim !

What a great day. The flight was great, pilot was fantastic.
Would highly recommend.

This was a simply breathtaking afternoon. Oahu is extremely varied, with cliffs, valleys and beaches, alternating between shades of blue, green, white and red. You don't really notice it from the ground, but seeing it all from high above has given me a new appreciation for the island. Our pilot made us feel safe and secure the entire time, and the chance to do an exciting landing along a narrow ridge at the top of Ka'a'awa Valley only made the experience that much more incredible.

Great experience overall, from the ground crew to the flight. This is definitely thee best way to see the island and the best option if you are staying on the West Side of the island / Ko Olina resorts.

The pilot is very experienced, polite and knowledgeable. The flight was very exciting and gave us an amazing sights of the island. Even if you don't get a window seat you still get a great view. The aircraft have a two way communication between the pilot and the guest, so while he is talking storied about the location you can ask questions and he will answer.
Oahu is just an wonderful place, we saw Hanauma Bay; Diamond Head; Waikiki beach; Pearl Harbor; the unique Kaneohe bay and the sandbar; the mountains at Kualoa Ranch are mesmerizing, makes you feel like you are at Jurassic Park; the famous beaches on the North Shore, Kaena Point and the beautiful West Coast.
If you have the chance add the land on top of Kualoa Ranch mountains, the pilot surprised us with champagne, drinks and chocolate covered strawberries. Very romantic addition to the tour.
It's a long flight, make sure to bring a bottle of water and got to the bathroom before the flight.

I would recommend Paradise Helicopters to everybody!

It's quite different to see the Island from the sky.

From pick up to drop off....it was the greatest adventure I ever experienced. Very professional and informative tour. Our pilot Julie was very impressive with her communication skills and presented the arial tour beautifully! Great job Julie....it was a memorable experience!

It was an awesome experience for my whole family! Our pilot Nathan and everyone else who help make this happen, thank u!

Great ride! Fantastic view of the island! Pilot Margo was very informative and professional. I would recommend this tour!

Took the Hidden Oahu doors off flight with Jim. It was AMAZING!!! Jim is fantastic and the views are amazing. If you're going to take a helicopter ride, you definitely want to go Doors Off!

Loved every second of it. Highly recommended!!! If you want the best experience then look no further.

Margo was awesome. The flight was so much fun and exillerating. I highly recommend this company

Without doubt the best experience we had while here. Doug the pilot was full of knowledge, funny, great with the kids on board and made the tour even better if possible.
Everything from booking to the flight was smooth and professional.
Can not recommend this enough. It's simply a must!!

First timers, Wendy and I joined another couple who were also rookies. Well Kai did a fantastic job of keeping us interested all the way grog ha. 40 minute flight.great job Kai...
That's one off the bucket list

It 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.

This 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.

This was the most beautiful way of seeing the island! This is my third year spending the summer with my family on Oahu, I have been blessed to be able to spend so much time on this beautiful Island and seeing it from above brought a whole new perspective. Margo was wonderful!! Thank you so very much! I only wish our video had come out.

Was a totally awesome experience and Pilot Jeanette was great as well. Loved it.

I had 4 ladies youngest 69 oldest 86 wanted to do a helicopter ride and hoped to see Tom Selleck (Magnum PI) but settled instead for what they described as a fantastic view of Pearl Harbor from an aerial perspective.

Our first time in a helicopter and it was a fantastic experience. Seeing the island from this perspective is a must. Our pilot, Jim, was absolutely the best. He was highly informative and so funny. His piloting skills were phenomenal. If we are fortunate enough to make a return trip to the island, we will be flying again with these folks and we will definetely be requesting Jim as our pilot.

My wife and I booked the magnum experience w/out a landing and doors! We absolutely loved the 60 minute flight and am very glad we didn't book a short flight. The staff were very nice and easy to work with. The pilot (Ky....?) was amazing!! He provided great information about the island and where we were at. He honored every request we had and kept the flight interesting! My wife is terrified of flying but sat between the pilot and me. She loved the experience! This is the ONLY way to view Oahu! Fantastic job by Paradise and very thankful to be so blessed with this opportunity. We will definitely ensure ton fly with Paradise again! If you are in Oahu and reading this comment- just do it! It's just money. I promise the cost will provide a lifetime of priceless memories. Kids would also enjoy the helicopter flight. Thank you so much to Paradise for a truly unforgettable and smooth experience.

Jim, 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.

Nothing compares to see the whole Island from above.
Definitely must-do for every visitor.
Take Eco-Star it is quiet and you feel like on the flying carpet.

We 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 experience. Nice view from the island
The pilots were very nice, specially the one with doors; very friendly

Great experience. Beautiful sight from the island. The pilot from the doors off didn' give much explanation but the one with doors was very friendly and really made the difference!!

Amazing view of Oahu Hawaii! It was such an exciting experience that I've never had before. Our pilot Julie was awesome. She made good narration during the whole trip. The only thing that disappointed me was my seat. Seats were allocated randomly, and mine was not a window seat, so that I didn't have the best perspective to take pictures.

This is a wonderful experience in HAWAII. My mum was very affair before. She thought the door off helicopter is not safe. But when she have try. She said it's a wonder time in her life.

Josh was an amazing pilot who made us feel so safe! Our 7 year old daughter loved every minute! We only did 20 minutes and that was definitely not enough! We will be back!
