This spectacular tour shows you the very best of the island. Depending on weather conditions, the pilot will select the most suitable route to show passengers all the “must see” attractions and scenic vistas, from serene Keehi Lagoon and historic Honolulu Harbor, to Aloha Tower, Ala Moana Beach Park, Magic Island and world famous Waikiki Beach.
