My wife found Novictor Helicopters and we decided to do a 1 hour around the island tour with the doors off. While we were not all that sure about the doors off, it was the best decision ever. It was my wife, myself and the pilot so very intimate. Mikey our pilot was very friendly and informative. The view despite it being a little bit cloudy, was amazing. Doors off, made for great photographs. It also helped my wife not get sick (as did Mikey, who kept his record clean). I had a windbreaker and shorts on and I was fine. The flight was a blast. If you want to see the island from the sky, book with them.

This is the only way to view entire Oahu and all the beach / ocean around it. Love the coral view and mountain views. Doors off is great because allow you to take as much photos/video without any obstruction. The wind is tricky but we were lucky that there's not much problem with it. It's a private chopper, hence only me and my husband, other couples flew with other units. We met a couple at the briefing who didn't read the rules when they purchase the package and blamed the tour operator as they were not allowed to carry the massive ipad. No backpack/handbag/selfie sticks/ipad/water bottle/camera without strap, anything that can fall out, it's a no no. They locked all these belonging in the office before we being transfered to the chopper. Good windbreaker / jacket and sunglasses are recommended. For the ladies, make sure no tear drop / big loop earings are we all will be wearing a headset, and bun up/pony tail the hair is a must because the wind will make them wild. Shoes is recommended instead of flip flop/sandals. We were given pouch for our mobile and hung them around our neck. I was able to record video with my phone and pouch was very helpfull.
