Great tour!
Reviewed by: Gwen H, 2024/02/22We 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.

Best helicopter ride ever!
Reviewed by: Sarin, 2023/06/29My 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!

Totally worth it!
Reviewed by: J Rivera, 2022/09/06Exhilarating and beautiful experience. It was amazing to see all the sights we visited from the ground (Pearl Harbour, sandbar, Waikiki etc). The beauty of the island is really highlighted, including the turquoise waters and Jurassic Park mountains. Expect to have a LOT of wind blowing through the cabin, so take it seriously when they recommend the light jacket. Our pilot was awesome too, he pointed out all the landmarks and helped take fun photos with us too. It also felt very safe throughout.

Hands down, the BEST helicopter flight
Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii, 2022/01/17WOW! This doors-off flight was AMAZING. You start at Turtle Bay's heliport (conveniently in the parking lot, only a quick 5-min golf cart ride from the hotel). Then, we flew around the island with an amazing helicopter pilot. She landed us at Kualoa Ranch and we had the best views around us. The helicopter ride was amazing...but the landing..wow! I can't say enough good things about this tour.
Keep in mind, with the doors off it's very windy. I'd recommend wearing a windbreaker jacket to be comfortable.

A "Must" Experience!
Reviewed by: Shannon & Bryce, 2014/08/28Wow, we had the best time flying with Sandy and felt comfortable the entire time! The view from above is amazing and being in a helicopter is a "must" experience... And this is coming from someone afraid of flying! Great to see the Sacred Waterfall up close, the USS Arizona under water with the oil leak drifting off was unique, and just the mountains and valleys and ocean views are all beyond beautiful! I'd do it again...

A must do when in Hawaii
Reviewed by: Marlou, 2014/04/03Choosing Paradise Helicopters was the best thing I've done while in Hawaii. The staff was courteous and very professional. You knew right away you and your family were in good hands. The ride was superb and worth the money you pay! They don't charge as much as other companies do!!

Simply Amazing
Reviewed by: JM, 2009/01/06This was, without question, the best thing we did on our stay. It was incredible to see the island from the air and scout places that we wanted to see. If you can handle flying in small aircraft, you can handle the helicopter!
