About Rainbow Helicopters - Royal Crown of Oahu
Take in the full sweep of Oahu on the Royal Crown of Oahu, an hour-long helicopter flight departing from Honolulu International Airport. The route begins above Waikiki and Diamond Head before continuing past Hanauma Bay and Makapu'u Point toward the island's windward side.
From there, fly above Lanikai Beach, Kaneohe Bay and the Ko'olau Mountains before continuing past Chinaman's Hat and Ka'a'awa Valley. The tour also reaches Sacred Falls and the North Shore, with views of Turtle Bay, Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay along the way.
The return route crosses central Oahu near Dole Plantation before finishing over Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial. In one flight, you can see beaches, mountains, valleys, waterfalls and historic landmarks from a completely different perspective.
Doors Off Option: Choose doors off when booking for unobstructed open-air views, or keep the doors on for a more enclosed ride.
