Helicopter ride

Published on Oct, 2024

Had a great flight today with Chris! He had lots of really interesting and cool facts about the area we were flying in, and was a really smooth flight. Would totally recommend it and would go again.

DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS EXPERIENCE!

Published on Sep, 2024

We had an amazing tour with this company. Not only were the views epic (especially doors off), but our pilot Donovan was also a great tour guide and extremely knowledgeable about the island, providing a lot of history and facts on the island. We should have done the longer flight! Mahalo Donovan and Rainbow Helicopter Tours.
