About this tour

Enjoy this 60-minute guided O'ahu complete island helicopter tour and discover Diamond Head's extinct volcanic crater, the pristine coral reefs of Kane'ohe Bay, the landmark of Chinaman's Hat, the "Jurassic Park" like cliffs of the Nu'uanu Rainforest, and the breathtaking North Shore. Admire the 4000 foot Wai'anae mountain range and the rustic Leeward Coast which is home to the luxurious Ko 'Olina resort area, Makaha Beach (where big wave surfing began), and Yokohama Bay. This tour would not be complete without the inspirational nostalgia of Pearl Harbor. Here is the emotional epicenter of American pride in our nation's endurance and ultimate victory in World War II, with its haunting Arizona Memorial - a symbol of the beginning of the way - and the mighty U.S.S. Missouri, where the surrender was signed. See it all with the perspective you can only get from the air. Unforgettable. This small-group guided tour is limited to a maximum of 6 travelers.
