We took the open door helicopter ride for an hour. We had good safety training. It was a safe experience and we were strapped up, with our phones in cases. Our pilots Julian and Lucien were very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. They also made enough turns for both sides to see the main points. And the island views- a beautiful view of lush green mountains, sacred waterfall, sky blue ocean (saw a turtle), reefs, beaches and farm and Pearl Harbor. Thanks so much to Rainbow helicopters for an unforgettable experience for my family! Make sure to take a comb/ brush because your hair will be messed up after!

This was one of the most thrilling helicopter rides I have ever been on. While driving from the…read moreairport, I noticed a sign about Magnum Helicopters advertising they did "doors off" helicopter flights. I was intrigued by that. Earlier that week, I had done another helicopter tour with another company that was more sedate but good as well. The day b4 my flight back to the states, I decided to give Magnum a try. I was looking for a thrilling ride that could rival skydiving (I used to skydive many years ago). This ride gave me the thrill I was looking for. It was so fun to have the doors off, be strapped in, and hear the wind rushing by. This place is very very conscientious about safety. You watch a safety briefing on a video, etc. The ground crew takes good care of you and makes sure you are strapped in well, etc. Our pilot was Josh and he made the whole trip fun. He was an excellent pilot, took us to see all the important sights, and had great banter with the passengers. You can tell he is very experienced with piloting a helicopter and very safe too. Feeling the wind blow in your face, mussing up your hair as you fly around was a lot of fun. We could bring our phones with us to take pics and videos but they had to be in a plastic bag case tethered to our wrist (case and tether is available for rent or purchase). Magnum Helicopters is also based upon the Magnum PI show. The helicopter is painted in those colors and there is a Ferrari that one can sit in (in the waiting area) and gets pics in. I am hoping to come back to Oahu later this year so I can visit the other islands. If I do, I'll be sure to come back to Magnum Helicopters to get another thrilling ride

So, while staying at Turtle Bay, I treated my brother and myself to a helicopter ride. It was organized by the hotel concierge. We were so excited. Upon arrival at the helicopter office, Kanani showed us a diagram of where each of us would be sitting (there were 2 other people whom we'd never met on the same helicopter. I saw the seat they planned to put me in and I told Kanani that I'd prefer to be on the outside (or in either of the 2 back seats). She said, "oh, you will love it!" So, I got in & soon found myself staring at an ancient control panel the entire time. It was the worst waste of money. I couldn't see anything. I politely pulled her aside when it was over and asked her for a refund since I couldn't enjoy the view (the whole point of doing it). She said, "call the main office and they will be able to handle it." So, stopped back at the concierge desk on my way back into the hotel and mentioned it to them. They said, "I'm SO sorry! Yes, we will call the company and take care of it for you." (It had been charged to my room at Turtle Bay). I thought, "great. The experience sucked, but, at least I'm not going to lose hundreds of dollars because of it. An hour of my life, yes, but not lots of money." Unfortunately now that I'm back home, the charge is still on my bill. The concierge has now put me in touch with the helicopter company directly. They have refused to give me a refund, stating, "you should've specified that you wanted a specific seat when you first booked it." Again, it was the Turtle Bay concierge who was kind enough to facilitate the booking. But, even if it had been me, how would I (or anyone) know to ask for a seat that didn't have an almost completely obstructed view? Had I known I'd have such an obstructed view, I never would've spent hundreds of dollars to do this. I get that they have weight requirements, but, this middle seat should go at a discount with a disclaimer. To summarize, the customer service of this place is really bad. You might end up having to stare at a large console of instruments for the duration of your helicopter tour, and the helicopter itself was archaic (that last part wouldn't have been a big deal if I'd been able to see outside). Instead it just added to the entire experience :(

The location was super convenient--just minutes from the Honolulu airport--making it easy to find and get to. We flew with Scott, who was not only an excellent pilot but also a fantastic guide. His calm presence and deep knowledge of the islands made the experience even more memorable. He shared fascinating facts and stories throughout the flight that gave so much more context to the breathtaking scenery. We opted for the doors-off experience, and WOW--what a game-changer! It added a whole new level of excitement and really made us feel like we were flying through the heart of Hawaii. The views were absolutely stunning--from waterfalls to coastlines--it was a nonstop highlight reel. This was easily one of the most exciting things we've done, and I'd 100% do it again--next time maybe on another island! If you're considering it, just go for it. It's an incredible way to see the islands and worth every moment.
