5.00What a wonderful experience! We did the helicopter tour with open doors in the evening around 4 PM and it was a little breezy so we were definitely both nervous because it was our first time. Our pilot, Hannah, was absolutely amazing and made us feel so comfortable despite all of the winds—the ride was so smooth and her communication throughout the entire ride was phenomenal. I highly recommend doing this when you’re in Hawaii. It was the best money we’ve ever spent and worth every single penny. Thank you for such a beautiful experience. It was so amazing to experience the island from up above. 10 out of 10 recommend to anyone visiting this island.
Great experience, again

5.00The best experience, almost had to cancel because of the weather early AM but the team was accommodating and told me that I could wait and do a flight later in the day. Worth every penny, sights you can only see by helicopter. Our pilot was amazing, very knowledgeable about the island. Smooth ride besides alittle bumps here and there from the wind (to be expected). Got proposed to after the helicopter and an unforgettable experience. If you're thinking about booking, do it!
Great tour!

5.00It was a great experience! Hannah was a great energy for the registration/check-in process. She helped calm the little nerves I had. Conor (pilot) was engaging, knowledgeable and informative about the route. He also was a big contributor for my experience. I hope I did not tire him with my questions. I would recommend Rainbow 🌈 to everyone desiring to tour Oahu from the air!
Excellent

5.00Oh my goodness this was so much fun. We almost cancelled our whole trip due to weather and I’m so glad we didn’t because missing this would have been terrible! Nikki was so good. I went up with my daughter and her best friend. We had taken pretty much the same tour in a car earlier that day, but to see the views from above was amazing. I felt safe and Nikki was extremely knowledgeable about the island. I can’t say how pleased I was with this tour and company. They were great!
