Oahu: 60 Min Royal Crown Helicopter Tour - Doors Off or On

You begin with the heights of the Waikiki skyline along the sultry sands of the most famous beach in the Pacific.

Oahu's crown, Diamond Head, pops into view presiding over the island known as The Gathering Place.

As you pass over the ridges of the Leeward coast, Hanauma Bay appears below and gentle beaches transform into rugged volcanic cliffs, carved over millennia by sun, surf, and rain.

You continue on this regal tour by flying over top of the charming Makapu’u lighthouse.

The island’s Windward Coast awaits where you will see the incredible Ko’olau mountains standing watch above Lanikai Beach – often called the most marvelous beach in the world – and the offshore sandbars and coral formations that make Kaneohe Bay one of the most picturesque places on Earth.

Fly past Mokoli'i Island, and view with awe the succulent Ka’a’awa Valley before you.

The pilot guides your helicopter into the pristine forest and jagged cliffs of the magnificent Ka'a'awa Valley. As the mountains approach, you fly in close to see the magnificent waters of Sacred Falls tumble over 1000 feet to the rainforest below.

0 feet into the rainforest below, revealing a hidden paradise carved by centuries of volcanic activity and tropical rains.

Check out the world famous North Shore where you can see the surfers challenge the waves at Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay.

You head back towards the airport with a passage over the mountains and the island's inland sea - Dole Plantation's "Pineapple Sea".

You complete the circle of Oahu by turning inland and passing over the beautiful pineapple maze at the Dole Plantation. This incredible tour doesn't end until you have completed a solemn pass over Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial.
