We were picked from our hotel in a comfortable van, and shown a couple of safety videos. We had opted for the open door experience, and in my opinion this is the way to go. The pilot/guide gave us a running commentary of the sights which was very interesting. Unfortunately about one third the way through the weather closed in. The pilot wasn't willing to fly through the mountains in near zero visibility. In strongly support that. The measure of a business isn't how they perform when things go right, it is how they react when things don't go as planned. We negotiated a very reasonable refund. The trip that we did have and the customer service we received means that when I'm in Hawaii again, I'm going back to them to see if we can get to see the rest of the island.

Great group to fly with. Pilot Jeff was retired Army colonel who has lived his whole life on the island. Knowledgable, fun, and funny. Quality equipment in good repair and safety oriented. Definitely a pro organization. And they picked us up at the hotel- gratis. FOR THOSE AFRAID OF FLYING/HEIGHTS: Me too. At least the heights thing. And I'm very aware when I'm zipping thru the air at 8 miles per minute at 36k feet that I'm doing it in essentially a large, pressurized soda can. The squirrelly thing about it is that with doors off, you feel none of that. So for those of you dreading this because you're just doing it for the kids, don't. It's more like the back seat of a Camaro with the top down.

We had a helicopter tour of Oahu with Pilot Jim. It was well worth the money and a great way to see the island. Our pilot Jim was fantastic and a real character. Would recommend this to all!

We booked the helicopter tour of Oahu. We were picked up from our hotel by James. James was very friendly and chatted with us both before and after our tour. Very nice guy (and he looks like Aaron Rodgers)! Our pilot Jim did a great job and has a great sense of humor! He informed us before he made turns and pointed out all the sites. We signed up for the 45 minute tour around Oahu. We were able to take some great pictures and video. I would highly recommend taking a helicopter tour with Makani Kai Helicopters the next time you are in Hawaii. We had our tour on a Friday morning, we returned to the mainland that Sunday and I just received my video of our flight yesterday (Thursday). I can't wait to go back and take another tour! Thank you James and Jim!

We did the 45 min helicopter flight with Makani today. We did the 8am flight. They picked us up on time from our hotel and showed the safety video en route. Explained that doors off you can take a camera or phone (with a strap, which they can loan). Lockers are available for $1 (in quarters) for any other belongings. The weather was a little inclement and we had not packed jackets. They kindly offered jackets as we were doing the doors off flight. Our pilot was Doug. He was excellent as was our driver/flight preparation man (sorry,can't remember name). I haven't used any of the other helicopter operators so I can't compare but Makani were excellent, professional and safety comes first. Highly recommended. Also, the price we paid via hotel concierge was it, no hidden extra fees or plus tax. Round trip transfers were included.

My Husband and I did the 50 minute doors off helicopter experience this past week on our honeymoon and loved it! Our pilot was Jim and he was so fun and enthusiastic. Jim looks like TC and the copter was very Magnum PI! We paid a bit more for the premium seating in the front row and we're happy with our choice as the back row chairs didn't look as comfy. Overall, a great way to see the Island and we had a blast with Jim!

Best trip I've ever done!! Would do it again in a heartbeat!! Views were breathtaking and the whole experience was AMAZING thanks to Pilot Jim!! Loved it!! Book to sit in the front

I had several hours layover in Honolulu a couple days ago and had heard about the Doors Off tour from a friend. Schedule matched so I booked an afternoon flight! As I arrived direct from the airport the friendly people at the office helped me store my hand luggage for the duration of the flight and showed a brief safety video while I was waiting for the other passenger to arrive. Our pilot was Jim and I really liked his style of casually talking through everything that was about to happen during the flight - just enough serious when needed and plenty of humor. The doors off experience was really cool, I must have grinned ear-to-ear for most of the flight - I know the guy on the other side of the chopper did! The flight took us around most of the island with really good visibility to the sights. After the flight I got the complimentary shuttle to Waikiki to spend the rest of my layover before continuing onwards with my trip. This was definitely an experience worth the cost, I highly recommend!

Service was great and everyone was friendly. Our pilot, Rhonda, really knows her stuff and got us back to Maui safely, avoiding an incoming storm and the tail wind of a 737 upon landing. The only criticism I have is the absence of soap and water and a little elbow grease on the interior of the planes. They are pretty dirty. Otherwise, the flights were great.

My 13 year old daughter and I booked the short tour round Honolulu and Diamond Head...it was her first ever helicopter flight and she was completely blown away by it. We had an excellent pilot called Mory...ex apache gunship pilot...what a dude!!! He was calm professional and friendly, even when it got bumpy he was soooooo laid back..you couldnt help but feel completely calm and have total trust in his skills. It was an excellent flight and we saw so much. Would do it again in a heartbeat...not to be missed worth every cent :-)

We had a wonderful flight all around Oahu for an hour. Our pilot Margot was informative , humorous and very personable. The scenery was spectacular and the flight was fun. highly recommend this to anyone visiting Hawaii.

Three of us did a doors off helicopter flight around Oahu. We all love rides and are ok with heights but this was so much more exhilarating, exciting, scary and amazing than anything I have ever done before! Our pilot Jeff was fantastic. He was entertaining and knowledgeable and made sure each of us enjoyed the flight. The views of Oahu were beautiful and Jeff made sure we had plenty of opportunities to get photos. We had so much more than a scenic tour and it was well worth every dollar. When we landed, we couldn't stop talking about the flight! For the rest of the day we were on such a high from the adrenaline. For me, it was one of the highlights of the trip. If you're looking for a little adventure and want to get the heart pumping, do it!

This is a fantastic hour tour all around the Island of Oahu. I highly recommend to Sacred Falls Tour. It is worth the expense and you will see many sights that would take several hours of driving and expense of a rental car or guided tour bus/limo. Perfect for the traveler that appreciates an overview of the Island before venturing out on your own.

J'ai choisi de faire le tour de l'île complet, qui dure 1h et je ne regrette pas! Certes, le prix est élevé, mais c'est de l'argent bien dépensé! Les vues sont simplement incroyables! On peut voir presque toutes les plus belles plages d'Oahu, mais aussi la vallée Kaaawa où a été tourné Jurassic Park, les champs d'ananas, ou d'éoliennes, et les Sacred Falls, cascade fine et mais haute. J'ai particulièrement aimé les montagnes, je trouve qu'elles ont des formes uniques et superbes. Même en souffrant encore fortement du jet lag, j'ai adoré cette expérience! De plus Makani Kai offre une navette entre Waikiki et l'aéroport, c'est très pratique.

Huge shout out to Jeff our pilot for our doors off helicopter tour of Oahu today. What an experience and with Jeff's awesome flying skills made the trip all the better. Loved your zip lining over the mountains the birds eye view of Sacred Falls, Gilligans Island, Pearl Harbour just to name a few. Definitely add this to the top of your list of things to do if visiting Oahu and request Jeff as your pilot. He was fun and clearly loves what he does. Hope you got your tip we left for you! Thanks again Jeff. Deb & Jord - Australia
