Rainbow Helicopters - Path to Pali Passage
This half-hour Oahu helicopter tour covers the top sights along the island's south shore. Departing from Honolulu International Airport, your adventures starts with a flight over downtown Honolulu with great views of Honolulu Harbor and the Aloha Tower. Then continue on to world-famous Waikiki Beach. Enjoy spectacular views into Diamond Head crater.
Continuing on east, you'll soon reach the Makapu'u Lighthouse and beautiful Hanauma Bay, Oahu's prime snorkeling spot. Rounding Makapu’u Point, the tour follows the windward coast with its long stretches of white sand beaches and turquoise waters, including gorgeous Lanikai Beach. Turning inland, you'll see the three sharp peaks of Mt. Olomana.
Heading inbound, you experience an absolutely breathtaking expanse as you fly the passage among the Nu'uanu Pali cliffs and lush rainforests that cover their slopes. The flight ends with a tour over Pearl Harbor, where you will see the site of the USS Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri.
Doors Off Option: Rainbow Helicopters gives you the choice if you would like to fly with doors on or doors off. You can select your flight preference at time of booking. With the doors off option, you get to experience the sights with an open cabin and enjoy unobstructed views.
