About Magnum Doors Off Helicopter Adventure
Take in Oahu from above on a doors-off helicopter flight that connects Honolulu's cityscape with beaches, mountain valleys, waterfalls and historic landmarks. The route begins over Keehi Lagoon and Honolulu Harbor, with views of Aloha Tower and downtown Honolulu before continuing toward Ala Moana Beach Park, Magic Island and Waikiki.
From there, fly past Diamond Head, Kahala and Hanauma Bay before rounding the southeast coast near Sandy Beach and Makapuu Point. The flight continues above Waimanalo, Mount Olomana, Kailua and Kaneohe, with wide views of Kaneohe Bay and its coral formations.
Farther north, the scenery changes again as you pass Kaaawa Valley, Sacred Falls and the North Shore. Look down on famous surf areas including Sunset Beach, Pipeline and Waimea Bay before crossing the island's central plain on the return toward Honolulu.
The final portion of the flight includes aerial views of Pearl Harbor, the Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri, bringing together many of Oahu's best-known natural and historic sights in one route.
