Makani Kai Hidden Oahu Flight – 45 minutes
Hawaii is beautiful no matter how you see it, but undoubtedly the best way is from a helicopter. Makani Kai Helicopter’s Hidden Oahu flight showcases the best sights in Oahu in a grand circle tour that is informative, breathtaking, and fun.
This fantastic Oahu activity begins when the Makani Kai van picks you up right at your hotel. Anyone who has been to Honolulu and Waikiki knows that there are a seemingly limitless number of tour vans, but its no trouble at all figuring out which van was the right one for this helicopter tour – it was white with Makani Kai written in big letters across the side. Safety is the top concern and on the short ride to the airport, a short video explains the do’s and don’ts for the flight.
At the Honolulu airport you board the helicopter. It’s noisy inside the cab, but with the noise cancelling headphones the whirling blades and engine are barely noticeable. It’s easy to hear the skilled, knowledgeable pilot narrate what is sure to be a high-point of your Hawaii vacation. Up to six people can share this unique experience together.

The Hidden Oahu Flight takes you past Honolulu and Waikiki, the shimmering jewel of the island with its towering skyscrapers and bustling streets. Just offshore, the shallow reefs are a gorgeous turquoise contrast between the dark blue pacific and the white sand beaches. Foamy white crashing waves lap the shores. Diamondhead, the giant dormant volcanic crater is just past Waikiki, and from the helicopter you can see the lush valley inside. Next is Hanauma Bay, home of some of the finest snorkeling in the world. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the next island, Molokai. Heading north, you’ll see Kaneohe bay, followed by the majestic Sacred Falls as you round the north end of Oahu. On the famous north shore, you’ll pass Haleiwa and the surfing capital of the island. Between November and March, you might even spot a humpback whale from the flight. You’ll also see the sugar cane fields and the pineapple plantations. From the helicopter, the pineapple maze is truly a wonder. Near the end of the Makani Kai Hidden Oahu helicopter tour, you’ll see Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial. From the air you can still see an oil slick on the water, still slowly leaking from the sunken navy vessel Battleship Missouri. You’ll also see decommissioned ships in the harbor and if you’re lucky, a submarine or two entering or leaving the harbor. At the conclusion of the tour, you can optionally purchase a DVD of your particular tour with all the narration from your pilot.
