All Reviews for Doors-Off Helicopter Flights

Fun history of Oahu and Oahu on film alongside a fabulous ride!

What a flight!!! Doors-off made the views feel like they were in 4k, was definitely worth it 100%

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！

Everything was smooth and professional. One of the highlights of our Oahu trip.

This tour was absolutely unforgettable. Flying doors-off around Oahu gave us unbeatable views!! The pilot was also so professional, friendly, and shared great information throughout the flight.

The tour was so personal, we were so happy to find a company that has private tours for great prices.

Jay explained things very well before embarking on a great flight. I thoroughly enjoyed my flight and would recommend it to anyone

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%.

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.

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!

ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸の田村氏に勧められての予約でしたが事前にレクチャーしてくれたこともありスムーズに観光できました。受入れ状態が二転三転してスタートするまでの現地スタッフの対応はイマイチでしたがそこもボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸の田村氏が取りまとめてくれたので安心してスタート出来ました　ドアなしのヘリでの遊覧は最高です

We had a wonderful flight. Exceeded our expectations. One down side was the poor quality video. We notified the company and they very considerately refunded our money! Highly recommend Rainbow Helicopters.

Jay was an excellent host and guide. He shared so many interesting things about the aircraft, Hawaii, and the area we were flying over. Jay also has a keen eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, I got to see turtles, and monk seals! I’m really glad I signed up for this experience.

Super save and enjoyable flight! Saw two whales breaching! Highly recommend.

Doors off makes it feel like your flying! Was a great tour and worth the higher pricing.

We were huge fans of the show, so this was a dream to ride the exact model chopper!

We liked the time frame we chose and getting to see the gorgeous waterfalls!

I was anxious until I got on, but once I flew, it was refreshing!
Even though the aircraft is small, it flies steadily.
The speed is slow enough to enjoy the scenery, and 30 minutes goes by in no time.
However, it's scary when I'm the one piloting; the aircraft responds to even the slightest movement of the control stick.

乗るまでは不安でしたが、いざ飛んでみれば気分爽快！
機体は小さくても安定した飛行です。
速度もゆっくりで景色を楽しむことができ、３０分はあっという間です。
でも自分が操縦する時だけはコワいですね、操縦桿の少しの動きに機体が反応します。

My first helicopter experience.
When I made the reservation, I chose the doorless option without hesitation. It was amazing to enjoy the unobstructed views of Hawaii's stunning scenery.
One thing to note is that, depending on the weather, it can be very cold. Make sure to dress warmly.

人生初のヘリコプター。
予約時、迷わずドアなしを選択。やっぱり遮るものがない、ハワイの絶景を楽しめました。
一つ言うと、天気もありますが非常寒いです。防寒はしっかりして行ってください。

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。

I think it's cheaper than helicopter tours in Japan!
In just one hour, you can experience the beauty of Hawaii condensed.
I've been to Hawaii many times, and this is the best activity I recommend.
This time, we were able to see whales too! Lucky✌️

日本のヘリコプター遊覧より安価と思う！
1時間で美しいハワイが凝縮されています。
何度もハワイに来ていますが、最高のアクティビティでおすすめです。
今回、クジラも確認できました！ラッキー✌️

Friends have questioned doors off, but I am here to say the views are still AMAZING!!

We had a great time on our helicopter tour! Our pilot was great. The scenery was beautiful! I had never been on a helicopter before and worried a bit about motion sickness, which I have an issue with sometimes. This was an extremely stable feeling ride! And our flight was a doors off flight. Zero problems with motion sickness here! The staff was pleasant and helpful. The pilot was capable and fun! Thanks for a great trip! I would highly recommend.
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.

What an awesome tour, it was great to get to see the island from above, nothing beats it.

The staff was cheerful and kind. I have flown many times before, but this felt like a completely different drive into the sky. I gave up my window seat to a friend, but I felt like that was a mistake. I think it would be difficult for those with a fear of heights, but I would recommend it to people who enjoy attractions like roller coasters. I think I would like to ride it again.

スタッフも明るく、親切でした。今まで飛行機✈️は何度も乗っていますが、まったく違った空へのドライブって感じですか、友人に窓側（外側）を譲りましたが、失敗した感がありました。
高所恐怖症の方は難しいと思いますが、ジェットコースター等アトラクションが好きな人にはオススメですね？
もう一度乗りたいと思う、と思います。

I participated alone, but it was the best experience and I was very satisfied!!! I was secured with a three-point seatbelt in the left rear window seat, and the pilot's skillful handling made it generally stable. However, when we hit turbulence, I felt the seatback being pushed, which was a bit scary at first. But the amazing views quickly made me accustomed to it.

It says to bring a jacket, but you can borrow a hoodie. They also lent me a smartphone case to hang around my neck. It's okay if you don't understand the language too well since you watch a video beforehand. I signed up for the 30-minute course, but it turned into a one-hour course at no extra charge. If your schedule is tight, it might be good to check in advance.

ひとりでの参加でしたが、最高の体験で大満足！！！
左後部窓側席に3点式シートベルトで固定されるのとパイロットの操縦が上手なので基本安定していましたが乱気流に入ると椅子の背もたれが押される感覚があり最初怖かった。ただそれ以上の景色の素晴らしさですぐ慣れます。

上着持参と有りますが、パーカー借りれます。後首から下げるスマホケースも貸してくれました。事前にビデオを見るんlで言葉が多少わからなくても大丈夫。
申し込んだのは30分ですが、追加料金無しで1時間コースになってました。スケジュールがタイトな人は確認した方が良さそうです。　

As an individual who is terrified of heights it has been a dream of mine to ride in a helicopter so I booked my flight on my 49th birthday. I chose this company as it seemed to have the most positive reviews. Kyle was our pilot and let's just say I had an awesome time!! He flew us over the best parts of Oahu!! There were waterfalls, beautiful beaches, the Dole plantation, Pearl Harbor and much more. It was the best birthday present EVER!!

Fantastic 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.

My daughter and I enjoyed our first helicopter ride with Paradise Helicopters. We got to see so many beautiful parts of Oahu. Our favorite part was landing on the mountain top to view Kualoa Ranch Valley. Highly recommends this trip for everyone!

We participated in this tour as a family (four adults). I'm glad we chose the helicopter without doors. It was thrilling, and without the doors, we had a great view of the scenery!! I was impressed by the incredibly beautiful views, such as Hanauma Bay. The pilot (English only) was also very kind and wonderful! He piloted while explaining important locations. Don't forget to tip the pilot!! If you receive good service, it's nice to give a gratuity.

I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication, as I think people who are not used to helicopters will definitely get sick! We took motion sickness medication in advance and chose the shorter 30-minute course, but we still felt a little nauseous. Just when I thought I was getting sick, we landed, so it was okay, but if it had been the longer 60-minute course, I might have felt worse.

We also purchased the video recording option, but to be honest, I think it wasn't necessary. There was no audio, and the visuals weren't very clear, so it felt like it wasn't worth the price. Other than that, I was very satisfied! I highly recommend this tour!

私たちは家族（大人４人）でこのツアーに参加しました。ドアなしのヘリコプターを選択して良かったです。スリルがあったし、ドアがないので景色が良く見えました！！ハナウマ湾などすごく美しい景色に感動しました。そして、パイロット（英語のみ）の方もすごく優しくて素晴らしかったです！重要な場所の説明をしながら操縦してくださいました。パイロットさんにチップをあげるのを忘れないでくださいね！！良い対応してもらったらお心付けを渡しましょう。

ヘリコプターに慣れていない人は絶対酔うと思うので、酔い止めを飲むことを強くお勧めします！私たちは酔い止めを事前に飲み、短めの30分コースを選択しましたが、それでも少しだけ酔いました。酔って来たなーと思ったところで、着陸したので大丈夫でしたが、長い60分コースとかだったら気持ち悪くなっていたかもしれません。

私たちはオプションでビデオ録画も買いましたが、はっきりいってこれはいらなかったと思います。音声はないし、映像もあまり鮮明ではなかったので、これでこの値段か・・・って感じでした。それ以外は大満足！すごくお勧めのツアーです！

Breathing taking experience. The view of O'ahu Island was one to never forget. I couldn't believe how beautiful the view was. This is a MUST activity!
