Oahu Helicopter Tours
Oahu has it all… dormant volcanoes, turquoise waters, golden beaches, soaring cliffs and lush rainforests… and historic landmarks Aloha Tower, Pearl Harbor, Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri.
It’s hard to believe Oahu is the most populated of the Hawaiian Islands when you soar over the cliffs of the Pali and lush Nuuanu Valley. Oahu’s windward coastline is laced with beautiful beaches, coral reefs and impossibly steep cliffs dotted with waterfalls.
Oahu’s North shore is one world-famous surfing spot after another, and inland are picturesque towns and small farms all framed by spectacular mountains.
Don’t stay earthbound in Waikiki… a Helicopter Tour of Oahu will be an unforgettable adventure!
