I did this experience... - I did this experience with my mom and we loved it!
The team at rainbow helicopters were amazing 👏
I took a wrong turn and was late to my check in but there were so amazing and still got us in. Somehow our tour lasted more than the 45 min I payed for so that was a plus. Our pilot Ida did a great job explaining the island and made us feel safe. I would definitely would recommend this company and this tour. Mahalo Rainbow helicopters!!🚁🌈

Beautiful and amazing experience. - The whole experience was awesome. Everyone was friendly I thought the wind would make the ride rough but the pilot Joey handled it great. This was our first helicopter tour and we will definitely do it again.

A great low level treat - It’s a totally different experience seeing places from the air. It gives you a much greater appreciation of the island and its history

Rainbow Helicopter Tour - This was such an amazing experience that my family and I were able to do while vacationing in Hawaii. I would definitely recommend this place. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and all were super friendly. Thanks to Lucian for such a wonderful tour.

Unbelievable Sites - The beautiful ocean,the amazing waterfall. Emma the pilot telling us all about the things we were seeing. The smell of the air, the slight mist of rain. Way to many things to name them all. Definitely the best outing of our 8 days, hands down. If this is your first trip or it could be your last trip to this beautiful Hawaiian paradise, you have to take the Helicopter tour with the doors off.

First helicopter experience - First time in a helicopter and it was everything I had hoped it would be. Thought the pilot could have provided more information.
The website needs updating!! I saw only one flight time of 45 minutes that included Waimea Bay. The website also stated to wear a heavy jacket and hat because it's cold and no one wants to deal with helicopter hair. Upon arrival we were told no hats and to wear a sweater if we wanted. I was HOT wearing a sweater; the pilot was wearing a polo shirt.
Our flight did NOT include Waimea Bay as that fell under the 60-minute flight, which wasn't an option on the site so I was disappointed because had the 60-minute flight been an option, I would have chosen that one.
