Beautiful sights. Smooth flying by our very expierienced pilot. He did point out many tourist sites but not much else that we flew by. Left us wondering. Our experience was supposed to CLOSED DOOR. Yes our door was closed(left side) but just prior to takeoff, they opened the Right side door. Not what we expected at all. The air turbulence in the aircraft vibrated/shook the Left side door so bad our new phone cameras could not focus properly. That door was flexing/shaking amost 1 inch! We gave up taking pictures after 5 min. Open door made the flight much colder than we planned for- since we booked CLOSED DOOR. No one disclosed that we could be "forced" into an "OPEN Door" flight. Extreme air turbulence made it difficult to see from cold air. Also, our paid 60 minute flight lasted 51 minutes. That included boarding, getting belted in and setting up headsets. If you choose to spend $787.50 for this tour, dress for 55 degree turbulent air, ask for full goggles & don't bring your own phone lanyard case. They provide a clear vinyl case w/lanyard but it's hard to work your phone cam buttons. Gave it a "3" only because it was of the site's & the good pilot. Otherwise it would be lower. Won't take this tour again unless we hit Lotto & can afford a private CLOSED door Flight.

From start to finish, this was a first class operation. The communication was excellent, both by phone and text. The preflight safety briefing and information session was helpful and our pilot was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk with. We were able to ask questions throughout the ride through our headsets and microphones which all worked perfectly. Would definitely recommend this tour company.

Fabulous! If you do nothing else on Oahu, this is a must. You see the whole island from an amazing perspective and see things you may not otherwise get to see. Great value for money - an amazing experience. Experienced and really pleasant, helpful staff who know what they're doing and know how to look after their clients.
