Itinerary

    As you near the white-sand beaches of Waikiki marvel at the multitude of surfers, beachgoers, sailboats, and swimmers savoring the beauty and joy of the island affectionately known as The Gathering Place.

  • Diamond Head State Monument (Pass By)

    Rising from Waikiki's beaches is mighty Diamond Head. Your bird's eye view will let you peer directly into the crater and wave to the hikers on the ridge beneath you.

  • Pearl Harbor National Memorial (Pass By)

    After flying over Punchbowl Crater and the U.S. National Military Cemetery of the Pacific, you head for Pearl Harbor.

  • USS Arizona Memorial (Pass By)

    At the famous port, you will pass over the USS Arizona memorial and the famous Battleship Missouri. At the end of your tour, you will understand why so many people fall in love with this city-by-the-sea.

Hawaii From Above

Published on Dec, 2024

Emma was our pilot and she really made us feel comfortable with our decision to fly with the doors off. We were able to get so many wonderful pictures and I was able to cross this off my bucket list.

Excellent experience

Excellent customer service

Published on Apr, 2024

Due to weather we were not able to complete our tour but the staff remained in continuous contact with us. The trip was canceled and rescheduled twice and once we had to completely cancel due to our travel plans the refund process was extremely was easy. When I return to Hawaii they are first on my list.
