Pali Makani Helicopter Tour — 30 minutes
This tour features everything on the Historic Honolulu Tour and continues on along the southern shore of the island, past Waikiki Beach, where you'll see Diamond Head crater from a dramatic perspective, the "Gold Coast" where millionaires make their homes, and spectacular Hanauma Bay. Rounding the east end of the island, you'll see rugged coastline, inviting Sandy Beach and Makapuu Point and lighthouse. Your aerial tour continues over Sea Life Park, the estate where TV's Magnum P.I. was filmed and miles of white sand beach. You'll be treated to a stunning view of Mount Olomana and, later, the Nuuanu Pali where King Kamehameha's warriors won a decisive battle to unite the islands.

Hidden Oahu Tour —
45 minutes

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. On the eastern end of the island is Hanauma Bay, the remnants of a volcanic crater that is now a marine sanctuary and popular snorkel spot. Up next come the Halona Blowhole, Sandy Beach, Makapuu Point and lighthouse, and colorful Sea Life Park. After cruising above the powdery white sands of Waimanalo Beach, the tour continues over the gorgeous coral formations of Kaneohe Bay, distinctive Chinaman’s Hat, and then up into “Jurassic Park” valley, where a dozen major motion pictures have been filmed. The highlight of the tour is Sacred Falls, a shear and splendid 1,000-foot cascade. On your way over Oahu’s Central Plain, you’ll see the world’s largest agricultural maze at the Dole Pineapple Plantation and the “birthing stones” of Hawaiian royalty. Your tour concludes with a panoramic vista of Pearl Harbor.

Alii Helicopter Flight to Sacred Falls — 60 minutes

You'll also see Turtle Bay, the aquaculture farms and Kahuku Point, where whales frolic in the winter. The tour continues along the storied North Shore, with a dramatic view of world-renowned surfing spots including Sunset Beach, Pipeline and Waimea Bay. On your way over Oahu's Central Plain, you'll see the Dole Pineapple maze and the "birthing stones" of Hawaiian royalty. Your tour concludes with a panoramic vista of Pearl Harbor.
