Doors off!! Amazing experience - One word - WOW! What an amazing experience from start to finish. We arrived early and we were able to fly.
Seamless process of weight check, seat allocation, safety brief and fitting of lifejackets on arrival.
Our pilot Nikki was so knowledgeable and definitely made us feel safe, making sure we were aware of all the possible spots for turbulence beforehand.
Flying itself the views are spectacular! Photos just do not do it justice. We opted for doors off which was amazing, just know it does get very windy and may get cold do dress appropriately.
Totally recommend to all.

Phenomenal excursion and excellent pilot(Nikki)! - Phenomenal trip! My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary this year in Honolulu and we decided ton Rainbow Choppers. Our pilot was Nikki and she was awesome. Extremely knowledgeable about the Island and its history. We looked at several services and decided on this one because of the list of attractions we could see. Pearl Harbor was awesome as was Diamond Head. We could not be more pleased with the flight and I will book this again if we return to Hawaii in the future.
