The absolute highlight of our time in Honolulu. Our pilot Jim was fantastic and gave us the ride of our life. A great sense of humour and gave us lots of laughs along the way when pointing out various sites and landmarks. We felt really safe at all times as Jim always told us what to expect in advance. The scenery was breathtaking and we definitely got our money worth. The final fly over Pearl Harbour at the end was the icing on the cake. A view most people wouldn't see. I thoroughly recommend to anyone. We will definitely be doing that again!

Wow what a great experience this way. We went in the door off helicopter and this was absolutely amazing. I would recommend this to anyone. The company picked us up and returned us from the outrigger at Waikiki. The pilot was fantastic and was explaining where we we're as we were fly over.

Aloha!! Pilot Jim was an exceptional Pilot, very knowledgeable and with a sense of humor who made the tour that much better!! He'll even have mints ready for the prego mamas who have morning sickness!! Definitely recommend Makani Kai Helicopters 🚁🏝⛰🌋

Absolutely would recommend the no door flight with Pilot Jeff. What a perfect end to our trip!!! We hope we get to come back and do this again!

Wir haben im Rahmen unseres Aufenthalts in Waikiki einen 45 Min. Hubschraubrundflug gebucht. Wir wurden pünktlich am Hotel abgeholt und sind nach kurzer Fahrt am Gelände von Makani Kai Helicopters angekommen. Hier hat uns sehr freundliches Personal über die Sicherheitshinweise informiert und man konnte seine Taschen abschliessen. Danach wurden die Rettungswesten umgebunden. Nach einer sehr kurzen Wartezeit begrüßte uns Jim (unser Pilot) und wir flogen los. Mit seiner sehr unterhaltsamen Art und Weise hat Jim über den Dächern von Honolulu und Waikiki uns Ohau nahe gebracht. So erhielten wir einen unvergessbaren und einmaligen Blick auf die schöne Insel. Nach 45 Minuten kamen wir mit einer sanften Landung wieder zurück und wurden wieder zum Hotel zurückgefahren.

Evan gave us a great ride and tour of Oahu. We choose doors on and first class seating. It was cool to see the Jurassic World sets on the other side of the island.

This was a thrilling, amazing experience. My husband convinced me to go on the no-door tour with Evan. Evan was knowledgeable and piloted well. I am not a fan of small aircraft and spent the first half praying we wouldn't die, but the anxiety wore off and I had a fantastic time. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. Was I scared silly? Absolutely.

I cannot speak more highly of Makani Kai Helicopters, in particular Pilot Jim. My mum, brother and I chose to do a helicopter flight on our last day in Oahu. We were definitely nervous prior to boarding the helicopter, but as soon as Jim introduced himself we were completely put at ease. We did the 45 min doors on experience and was my favourite part of our holiday. It was a windy day but Jim gave us fair warning when we would be hitting the 'bumpier areas'. Pilot Jim was extremely informative and had great jokes. Loved the addition of the soundtrack for particular areas, hawaii 5-0 theme, jurassic park and Elvis. Cant wait to come back to Oahu as a whole and when I do I will definitely visit Makani Kai helicopters and try the doors off experience fore something different. I will even be requesting Pilot Jim if possible!!! Thank-you Jim and Makani Kai Helicopters for such a wonderful experience. Lucy.

This was a thrilling, amazing experience. We decided to go on the no-door tour. Pilot Evan was knowledgeable and added to the experience. We weren't afraid of riding, but nervous about the whole experience After nervousness wore off we had a fantastic time. Would we do it again? Heck yes but I would consider the doors on only because we sat in the back and the wind made it a little difficult to use my camera. If I did the doors off again, which was awesome, I was only use a small camera or camera with a smaller lens. The staff is fully professional - not just the pilots. We had to reschedule twice due to different circumstances. If you have any questions about where you are going to sit, call and ask ahead of time. I am sure they can advise anything you want to know. On out flight, the smaller ones sat in the front and the bigger ones in the back. Again, there are plus and minus to everything! Read the rules and you will be set! We are happy we did it and would recommend the ride and this company to all! It covered most of the island! GO ENJOY!!

Took the Sacred Falls one hour tour and it was brilliant. Nathan was a great pilot, very smooth ride.

I'm a helicopter pilot myself and did my research on which helicopter tour company would best suit our family and Makani Kai has an excellent safety record compared to some others. My wife, two boys (5 and 8) and I chose the 45 minute Hidden Oahu tour and shared our experience with another couple celebrating their anniversary. They sat in front with our pilot, Jim. We sat in back with the boys on either side and us in the middle. This afforded us the best view possible for the many spectacular sights we encountered. Jim did a great job narrating the flight and giving some history of the island along the way. A nice addition would be microphones on the passenger headphones so we could ask questions during the flight. However I know how that can become annoying with several passengers (especially kids) talking throughout the flight, but there is usually a switch to isolate the pilot from the passengers when necessary to talk to air traffic control.

Pilot Jim was great! Highly recommended. A great way to see the island. PJ was ManaKai Helicopters was also great in organizing it. First time helicopter ride. Smoothest ride I have ever had. Pilot Jim kept saying there would be bumps ..but there were none.

This was a doors on helicopter ride and we truly enjoyed. Our pilot, Jim, went above and beyond. He explained everything, was funny and reassuring. I would give him 6 instead of 5 starts. We drove to MaKani Kai. The tour started on time. We bought the regular ticked and my kids and I had the back all for ourselves. Another couple had chosen the front (premium seats). The company decided who sat where, i ended up with the "worse "seat (back right) but my son had the best seat on the back. Even though I had the "worst seat" I was able to see everything very well and take really nice pics (even trough the plexiglas!). We wore black clothes as recommended. This tour was a splurge but it was worth every penny. I truly recommend. Here's some of our photos taken with a iPhone.

We had never been on a helicopter before so I was a little nervous...so of course we went for the "open door" experience! Lol. It was amazing, the highlight of the trip. It was wonderful to see the island from that perspective. They picked us up at our hotel. The pilot, Jim, was great and put us at ease. The view was incredible, especially Pearl Harbor. Definitely recommend! One bit of advise, where long pants and a jacket it gets cold up there.

Nathan was our pilot. He was friendly and explained everything as we flew over it. The doorless helicopter ride was great; being able to stick my head out of a helicopter and look thousands of feet down without falling to my death was amazing. We went all over the island and Nathan even showed us the set of the upcoming jurassic world movie.
