How to choose an Oahu helicopter tour
Helicopter tours differ in three ways: where they depart, how long you fly and whether the doors are on or off.
- Departure: Rainbow Helicopters and most Blue Hawaiian flights leave from near Honolulu airport, about 20 minutes from Waikiki. Blue Hawaiian’s Turtle Bay flights leave from the North Shore, which is ideal if you are staying there.
- Length: short 20-minute flights cover Waikiki, Diamond Head and the coast; 45 to 60-minute flights add the Ko’olau cliffs, hidden waterfalls and the North Shore.
- Doors off: doors-off flights give you unobstructed photos and a real rush of wind. Doors-on flights are quieter and better for nervous flyers.
- Private flights: private charters give your group the whole helicopter, a good choice for proposals and photographers.

Frequently asked questions
Doors-on or doors-off: which helicopter tour should I choose?
Choose doors-off for the best photos and a more thrilling ride, and doors-on if you prefer a quieter, calmer flight. Both cover the same scenery on similar routes.
How long are Oahu helicopter tours?
Flights range from about 20 minutes to about an hour. Longer flights reach more of the island, such as the windward cliffs and the North Shore.
Are there weight limits on helicopter tours?
Yes, most operators have weight limits and may weigh passengers at check-in for safety and seating balance. Check each tour’s restrictions before you book.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Operators may reschedule or cancel flights for safety. In that case you can usually rebook or get a refund under the operator’s policy.
What is the best helicopter tour for seeing all of Oahu?
A 45 to 60-minute circle island flight, such as Blue Hawaiian’s complete island tour, covers the most ground, including Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, the Ko’olau cliffs and the North Shore.
