45-Minute Helicopter (Doors On/Off)

A 45-minute shared helicopter from Honolulu: the windward coast — Sacred Falls, Lanikai, Kaʻaʻawa Valley, Makapuʻu. Doors on or off. From USD 490.

About 45 minutes in the air, from Rainbow Helicopters at Castle & Cooke Aviation. Shared at the from-price. This is the windward side most visitors never see: Sacred Falls, Lanikai Beach, Kaʻaʻawa Valley, Makapuʻu. You do not land. This is not the 20-minute Waikiki flight, not Path to Pali’s 30 minutes, and not the 60-minute flight that adds the North Shore and Dole. Named sights move with weather. Doors on or off at the same from-price; choose when you book. Check in 60 minutes before. No hotel pickup. 260 lbs extra-seat fees. Doors-off clothing required.
