Oahu Helicopter Sightseeing Tours
Out of all of the companies that offer tours of the Hawaiian Islands, only a few of them have tours of Oahu Island. The better companies that fly over Oahu by helicopter include the following: Heli USA, Makani Kai, and Paradise Helicopters. These offer tours all over Oahu and some of them will pick you up at your hotel if you go on the first flight out. Check over them each to decide which is best for you.
Heli USA
One of the best companies that will fly you over Oahu is Heli USA. They have a great safety record and are probably the most luxurious of the helicopter touring companies on the island of Oahu. Their accommodations rank close to those of Blue Hawaiian "the Cadillac of helicopter tours." If you want a good flight with the most comfortable of accommodations, then you should choose Heli USA. It is probably the best buy on Oahu for the money that you will be spending.
Paradise Helicopters
Paradise Helicopters is a company that offers some of the better variety of tours for Oahu. You can take a 10 minute tour, a 20 minute tour, a 45 minute tour, or a 60 minute tour on their website. If you book through them, then you will be able to get a good discount over the normal rate that they charge. Be sure to book your tour at least 3 days in advance. Preferably earlier than that, so that you can cancel at least 24 hours in advance and get your full refund. No shows are charged the full amount of the tickets no matter what the circumstances.
Makani Kai
Makani Kai offers the services of one of its helicopters at the rate of $1500 and you can go anywhere on the Hawaiian Islands that you want. But they also offer four tours of Oahu for those that are interested in paying a per adult rate instead of buying the entire helicopter. Their tours are 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. This is quite possibly one of the best helicopter flying companies for Oahu, but the price is steeper than the other two. The 45 minute flight with Makani Kai costs about the same as the 60 minute flight that Paradise Helicopters offers. However, the Makani Kai tour is a much better helicopter, and their tour is much nicer. You truly get what you pay for in this deal.
