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.

we opted for the doors off experience and it was amazing, best way to see the island, Jim our pilot was funny, knowledgeable and just a fab person!!! This is a must do for anyone visiting , the scenes are amazing and the sideways manoveres are thrilling !!!

We did the doors off with Jim and had a ball. Absolutely loved this, we saw so much and Jim's commentary and humour were great. A really professional operation and we would recommend this company to everyone. Just do it!

This is a must do! The helicopter ride was so thorough as we toured the city and the pilot , Morley was so knowledgeable about the city. We had a great time. Once in a lifetime experience!

We did the Magnum doors-off tour with Jim. An amazing, awesome experience! Unbelieveably spectacular views. A first-class operation--well organized, safe, and Jim was an exceptional guide--knowledgeable and funny. I was very nervous about doors off, but once we were airborne, the views were so exhilarating I forgot about my fear. I highly recommend this tour!!

Was picked up promptly at the Trump International at 12pm for our helicopter ride with Makani Kai. Made 2 more hotel stops and we were off to the heliport. After a few brief videos while en route to the landing, we arrived in about 20 minutes. A few safety instructions of the inflatable life jacket came next. We were told to line up based upon their calculations after giving them everyone's weight (to balance the helicopter) and soon we boarded! Capt Morley was a great tour guide! Very knowledgable about the island as well as its history and made the 45 minute trip as pleasant as can be. Little to no turbulence at all. We had clear, beautiful skies. And saw everything from DiamondHead, Pearl Harbor, North Shore and the pipeline! Was a perfect last day activity to our vacation!

i thought this is not a good idea from the moment we were picked up by the free courtesy bus from our hotel my heart was thumping in my chest in anticipation of my first helicopter flight with no doors ! On arrival at the airport we were given assurances that we would be in great hands and would have the experience of a life time and how right they were. Our Pilot Jim was fantastic ! the spectacular views and the interesting insight into how the helicopters function Jim's detailed knowledge of the island and expert commentary soon had my heart rate lowering and allowed me to tick off a bucket list item. I could not fault this experience and would highly recommend Makani Kai Helicopters and Jim for an experience of a life time !
