Booked a flight with this company and it was like going with your family members. The whole staff were very accommodating. The pilot Jim was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable of the island history and absolutely hilarious to listen to. Would highly recommend this company. We had a wonderful time

An absolutely amazing experience! So much fun and Jim is a great pilot. We were a bit nervous going into it, but could tell Jim knew exactly what he was doing and made everyone feel comfortable. It was also very entertaining - lots of laughing! A great tour with breath taking views and really great memories. Looking back, we would have gladly paid more for the exact same experience!! VERY highly recommended for everyone!

Was all of our's first time in a Helicopter. Some were a bit nervous but , Jim was great at helping them forget about the nerves and injoy the flight and the scenery. Was worth every cent I'll be back for another trip with Jim. Thanks so much. Steve Sears

Viatour and Makani Kai Helicopters made this trip to Kalaupapa Moloka'i, a reality. All guests must be escorted when they visit Kalaupapa, so Viatour and Makani Kai handle all the details and one just enjoys the trip. The staff was friendly and made the trip fun. Makani Kai picks you up and brings you to the airport where you are flown over across the strait to the small airport at Kalaupapa. The trip takes about 45 minutes and we rode in a small 12-passenger Piper. Since there is no food service on the Kalaupapa side of the island, you are furnished with a box lunch, which was quite adequate. There are public restrooms available at the airport and again at the lunch stop. This will be a six land hour tour so plan for the day. Think about a hat and sunscreen and water, too. children must age 16 to visit Kalaupapa. I really enjoyed this trip and it was a great way to see lovely Moloka'i.

I flew in the Magnum PI Helicopter with Pilot Jim....most adventurous way to see beautiful Oahu from the sky! Pilot Jim was entertaining and informative in his narration of the flight. If you want to do a helicopter tour, this is the most exciting one and you get the best photos with no doors in the way of your view. I highly recommend!

Our pilot made everyone so comfortable you forget the danger. With every move he explained before he maneuvered Jim O’Donohue is an excellent pilot and love what he does. I believe he was born to fly. He and Val (sorry I forgot his last name) work to ether well. I can't wait to see the video. Mahalo Veronica

First ever helicopter flight and it was absolutely fantastic. Pilot very knowledgeable and took us on a wonderful 45 minute tour over Oahu. It was awesome to see the sights from the air two days before we took to the road to see the same. Would recommend this tour as a must do. Combined package with the Sunset Dinner cruise well worth it.

Highly recommend taking a flight with Jim (Magnum PI) at Makani Kai Helicopters. His knowledge and flight skills make a very enjoyable 1 hour round trip of Oahu.

I was a little hesitant when my husband wanted to book the open-door helicopter flight over Oahu (I would have been happier in a normal helicopter given my slight fear of heights and flying) but I am so pleased we book the open-door tour. We selected the preferred seating which meant we got to sit in the front and it was just incredible! I felt nervous for most of the flight but the pilot was very calm and seemed in total control the whole time which made me relax and enjoy the ride. Being our 3rd trip to Hawaii it was great to see the island from a different perspective and we would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a once in a lifetime experience. Don't forget your jacket though - it gets very cold and windy up there!

I highly recommend the 40 minute flight around Oahu. Having never been in a helicopter before, I found it fun and exhilarating , with stunning views of the island, giving a close up and unique perspective of the mountains, coastline, and Pearl Harbour, amongst others. Our pilot was great, giving an informative and interesting commentary throughout.

So the open door helicopter ride was an obvious pick. I love the feel of there being nothing between me and the ground. Also a reminder of the movies of the boys in the Hueys in the Vietnam war! Respect! I thought it might be a little cold as well, so did at least wear a sweater, but it was really quite cold, and the wind was coming in under my hater blockers! Anyway the scenery was fabulous, we saw about half of the whole island, I really enjoyed the sweep through the jungle gorge and then cresting the ridge at almost zero height above the trees. Great piloting, worth every cent! So much to see form the air. Do this - you will not regret it! And I don't even like helicopters, spent too long in them earlier in my career! Enjoy the buzz!

I do not like to fly and I have a fear of heights, but I made myself go on this open door helicopter tour and I am so glad I did! From start to finish, there was not one thing I did not like.The pilot was awesome and the views were breathtaking! Well worth the money. For those who are like me, don't worry, you are securely strapped in and you have a strap to hold onto. You will forget your fear and be in awe at the amazing sites from such a rarely seen view point. Definitely bring a camera and dress warm,it gets cold above the mountain tops. The shuttle picked us up at 8 am and we were back at our resort by 11 am just in time for lunch. I definitely recommend this flight around Oahu you will not regret it!

From the moment we were picked up at our hotel until we were dropped off, it was perfect. Our pilot Jim was professional, funny and most informative about everything he showed us up in the air. Jim had taken his time to explain everything step by step, he explained how the copter would move, he explained the history of Hawaii and it's sights and he poke about the famous people that lived in various places that we had flown over. The ride was not only safe, but the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I recommend anyone coming to visit Hawaii take this ride by Makani Kai Helicopters. You will not be disappointed.

This was my first helicopter ride and well worth it! The pilot was very informative and the scenery was spectacular! I was pleased to have the option to purchase a DVD of the ride (which I did)....but must admit that I was disappointed in the video quality of the DVD -- since the helicopter is used to film TV & movie footage (we were told), I expected a better quality of video from the aircraft camera. Even so, I would highly recommend Makani Kai Helicopters to anyone!

picked up & dropped back at our Waikiki hotel with the shuttle, had an amazing 30 minute flight over the island with an extremely friendly and knowledgeable pilot. This has to be the best way to check out the island early on in your visit so you can get your bearings then go exploring. Highly recommended.
