We took this flight in december on a very windy day. On such a day expect a very bumpy ride. To be clear, not complaining about the service at all since it was excellent and our pilot Sarah had a very steady hand and a professional touch. I chose not to have a door and while it first seemed like a good idea the wind was blowing trough the cockpit was so heavy that getting video was very hard. Just to let you know, if heavy winds expected stick with the door since there is a good visibility trough the plexiglass also. The other thing is that have no loose clothing with you. I had trouble with my hood kn my jacked flapping on my face all the time. I have been on a helicopter before with no doors, but I have never experienced the weather this hard. The 60 minute flight was exactly what was promised. Scenery is just amazing and our pilot Sarah was giving an excellent selection of little bits of knowledge while flying over all of the main points of interests of the Oahu island. We flew over the locations where different Hollywood productions were shot as at the same time the movie soudtrack was playing. A great idea and really took me back to scenes from those movies. I really do recommend the tour and wish you have better luck weatherwise.

I used tripadvisor to attempt to book this tour. I triple checked the online availability with tripadvisor and booked my "adventure". Within 10 minutes I received a phone call from the tour company advising they did not have any availability on the date I chose which was the only date I had available. I had to cancel my reservation and waiting to see if I receive the refund I was advised would be processed. I would recommend if your website shows availability to make sure it is accurate.

Aloha Margox97! We are so sorry for the inconvenience and totally understand your frustration! Our staff here has to manually update the availability here on TripAdvisor as our sites are not connected. Sometimes we don't get to it fast enough and this happens. We do hope you'll give us another try by booking directly with us! Thank you for the feedback!

booked a 1 hour flight over the island & it was sensational. Pick up from our hotel was right on time, & our driver was very informative on our ride out to the airport. Was a bit nervous (being 1st time in a helicopter) but as soon as I was in there, the nerves went. Everyone was so professional & it was a seamless operation - everyone had a job to do & did it extremely well. Our pilot was Joanna & she was fantastic. She answered all of our questions & had a great knowledge of the island. We all loved every minute of it & would go again (doors off next time)
