My husband and I decided at the last minute to take a helicopter tour of Oahu and we picked Makani Kai Helicopters. Booking was very easy and accommodating. The tour itself was WONDERFUL!!! with awesome views and our pilot Brody was the BEST!! His narration of everything we were seeing was very informative and interesting...he also made sure that both sides were able to see the same gorgeous views. I recommend their tours to anyone and everyone.

Never been in a helicopter before and would do it again in a heartbeat. We are a family of four-kids are 11 and 8. Ask for Brody-truly amazing pilot and guide. Professional and soft spoken-flies this craft smoothly and effectively. Get the video at the end -other than the interference from the rotors the video is worth the money. Took the doors on tour- hidden oahu tour - absolutely spectacular views and commentary.

Our pilot Brody was very informative and our tour was very comfortable. The choppers were well maintained and roomy. 2 of our children aged 11 and 8 had a wonderful experience.

I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. The best thing that we've done in Hawaii! See the most amazing sites that Hawaii has to offer in an hour. Pricey, but overall well worth it

My husband and I decided last minute to book this tour, booking was a breeze over the phone with helpful staff. We were picked up on time and driven to their base. Although we had done a tour in Grand Canyon last year we were both a bit nervous with the doors off, once up and away nerves had gone. Our pilot Brody was amazing very knowledgable with his tour information, he also made sure that both sides saw equal things. Thanks you for a wonderful experience would definitely recommend this to others.

We have been on helicopter tours before however this one has to be the most thrilling! Our pilot was Brody who was an ex marine and boy could he fly that chopper. Seeing Oahu from the sky gives you a better appreciation of how beautiful the island really is. Definitely well worth the money and regardless if you book premier seats or not (we didn't) you get a brilliant view as there are only two seats in the back (two in the front plus the pilot). If you only do one excursion in Oahu make it this one and fly with the doors off!!

My wife and I just landed after a one hour spectacular tour of Oahu. One major highlight was hovering so that we could get an extra long look at Sacred Falls. Another highlight: seeing Pearl Harbor from the sky. Our pilot, Brodie, is an ex-Marine, and his commentary overall was terrific. He was particularly good describing the events at Pearl Harbor. I would recommend this trip to anyone. There is o better way to see and appreciate the beauty of Oahu in such a condensed time frame.

This was our first helicopter tour and what a wonderful experience. Brodie our Pilot was what made is so wonderful of course the weather was great but how Brodie explained all we saw was what made it so great. We look forward to coming back and going on the tour again. Hope Brodie is still flying when we return. Money well spent!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH Bill and Jo

What a truly amazing experience, simply stunning and breathtaking. Our helicopter pilot Brody was superb, there wasn't anything he didn't know about Ohau. We did sacred falls trip and his skill in flying across the mountains and ridges and hovering close to sacred falls was amazing. Thank you for making my holiday.

Just flew with Makani and Brody was our pilot. We had the most amazing view of Sacred falls with the best commentary, I learned so much about the island The pilot really knew his facts.I will definitely be coming back and I highly recommend this is a must-do on your trip to Hawaii. There is no better way to see the island.

We took a 45 minute "doors off" helicopter ride over Oahu and it was awesome! We rode over green mountain tops, got an unforgettable view of the Pearl Harbor Memorial, Waikiki and more. We paid about $235 or so per person so this isn't cheap but it's an experience well worth the price. It IS unnerving at first - but our pilot was a total pro with a calm, soothing manner! DO IT!

My mom booked a 45-minute open door helicopter ride with Makani Kai this past week during our vacation to Waikiki. This instantly became the highlight of our trip! The views are unbelievable - you really get to see the entire island of Oahu in a very unique way, from the starting point on the South all the way to the North Shore beaches and Pearl Harbor. Our pilot was fun, knowledgeable and informative. He and the entire staff made us feel welcomed and safe throughout our experience. The staff was professional, friendly and warm, making the experience truly outstanding. We were picked up right from our hotel and dropped off, and shown a safety video on our ride to the facilities so we were ready to go as soon as we got there. DO THIS if you are in Waikiki!!!

I totally enjoyed my flight ! I was so excited to see all the sights from the helicopter. The young pilot( a fireman also) was so informative about all of the sights he pointed out. I learned so much. He made sure that we had great picture taking views and was very gracious. I am sorry I don't remember his name, but it was one of the best things I did on my visit! I will do it again and again if I have the chance.

Stepped off the helicopter only 30 minutes ago as couldn't wait to share! Brody is informative and makes the ride very comfortable! All staff we experienced are nice and welcoming! We will definitely be back to visit these guys!! Doors off tour was well with it!

The opened door heli-tour was unreal, I was speechless from the amazing views that were viewed on this tour. Brody, the pilot was filled with awesome info of the island and made the trip an even better experience. I highly recommend this company, an awesome service all round and I will definately be returning to Makani Kai Helicopters on my next trip to Oahu. Thanks for the amazing memories team :)
