What a great way to experience Oahu. Everything went smooth and we had a fantastic time. Would highly recommend this tour:
Our family of 4 were taken around Oahu by Loren. One of the best experiences we have ever had. The scenery is amazing and Loren’s pilot skills are exceptional as he ducked into cool spots in the valleys or spun the chopper around 180 degrees so both sides had a perfect view. The dry humour in the laid back accent was a bonus. Would recommend to anyone looking to truly explore the island.
Our helicopter tour was awesome - we saw many beautiful sights. The helicopter was roomy and the flight was smooth. Our pilot knew alot about the island and the sights. The souvenir photo was an awesome momento. Yes it was expensive but was also a once in a lifetime view.
So all reviews are excellent and indeed our pilot was very knowledgable, explained well and the landscape were impressive. Also, the heli is top notch. Note though that these are large 6 seaters with pilot on left side, so “only” 3 window seats. Depending who is next to you, it can get frustrating (was not my case, but my wife’s). having now done quite a few helicopter rides in Hawaii and elsewhere I have a few critical remarks Firstly, all in all, it is a rather expensive tour even when adjusted to the length of the flight Secondly, I did not appreciate the staffs’ pushy attitude at boarding and leaving the heli to avoid people doing picture in front of the heli themselves, trying to sell clients the company’s picture own shoot. Others are much more relaxed in this regard so not “for security reason” argument please. Thirdly, even though impressive, the landscape is less so than on the other islands. In short, favour Kauai vs Oahu if you have the choice!
The whole experience from hotel pick up to the base, the pre flight education and the actual flight was brilliant. Our pilot Julie was fabulous. Chatted the whole way and told us the history of the Island. She ensured both sides of the helicopter got good views of the sites, and was clearly skilled and confident. Loved every minute of it.
This tour was booked thru Apple at Affordable Tours on Seaside AVe.She got us on the same day and this was by far the**** BEST**** Helicopter tour i've been on . The tour was about 45 min long and went around the whole island. The piolet Paul was very polite and pointed out all the island points of interest.JOB WELL DONE. Well worth the price. A MUST DO
Wife was afraid of heights but she loved this. Pilot and staff were comforting and friendly. Highly recommended! Don't miss this!
Great trip, very professional and the pilot was very knowledgeable, the scenery is absolutely amazing
Incredible tour/journey it was tremendous! don't forget to get your tapes of the tour:) Great pilot... very comfortable.... cool.... Beautiful....
What an exciting experience to see the gorgeous Hawaii from the skies!! A must do for visitors who's experiencing Hawaii for the 1st time!!! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
What An Experience To Fly Over Ohau ! I Highly Recommend This After You Have Explored The Island A Bit. The Landmarks are More Clear and Makes it more Fun. Trip is Expensive But Worth It. Make Sure You get A Pilot That Talks Allot About What You Are Seeing. Our Pilot Spencer Was Not the Best Tour Guide I have Had in Previous Trips. He Was A Little Irritated When I asked Questions About What we Were Flying Over. But All In All A Fun Flight.
Good tour, if you get a middle seat, you can’t see much. It was a very hot ride today and that made it uncomfortable for all of us. We asked if the could cool it down and the pillow said he couldn’t do anything about it. There are four seat in the back, so only the two door seats have good views, the center seats can’t see much. The pilot was good and we felt safe and the ride was to be 65 minutes and it was only 55. I wouldn’t do it again.
At first I was terrified about this excursion but, it was something my husband and children really wanted to do. My fears were quickly put at ease when I saw the professionalism and attention to safety! I felt comfortable knowing our pilot was trained in the military! Our ride was smooth and informational. We saw gorgeous views all over the island! So grateful that I faced my fears, it was so worth it!
La chambre était de bonne dimension, et avec vue sur le centre-ville. Bien entretenue (merci au personnel d'entretien, qui a été formidable!).
It was very nice. I could have used more information from the pilot. Other than that it was a delight.
