O'ahu

Begin your Hawaiian adventure on Waikiki’s golden shores.

O'ahu Complete Island
O'ahu

If you’re going to splurge on one unforgettable experience in Oʻahu, make it a complete island helicopter flight. In around 65 minutes, you’ll see the entire island unfold beneath you, from pivotal historical landmarks to postcard-perfect coastline, all in one flight.

You’ll lift off from Honolulu and fly over Pearl Harbour and the USS Arizona Memorial, a powerful moment that sets the tone before the scenery shifts gears. Minutes later, the city thins out, and Oʻahu’s natural side takes centre stage. You’ll sweep past Diamond Head, the island’s instantly recognisable volcanic crater, then glide over the clear reefs and electric blues of Kāneʻohe Bay. Inland, the landscape turns lush and dramatic as you pass through the Nuʻuanu Rainforest and over Sacred Falls, Oʻahu’s tallest waterfall, hidden deep in the jungle.

Then it’s north, where the coastline opens up into the North Shore, home to legendary surf breaks and long, wild beaches that feel a world away from Waikiki. You’ll also spot the vast green stretches of the Dole Plantation and follow the rugged Waiʻanae mountain range along the island’s western edge, where Oʻahu looks raw and almost untouched. By the time you touch back down, Oʻahu feels less like a collection of highlights and more like a complete, connected island.

Days 4-6

Kaua'i

Head to the Garden Isle where you can hike canyon trails and see the incredible Nāpali Coast.

Kauai Eco Adventure
Kaua'i

This helicopter flight is a fast, comprehensive way to see Kauaʻi’s most dramatic landscapes in one go. You’ll fly over remote valleys, waterfalls, deep canyons and the Nā Pali Coast, covering areas that are difficult or impossible to reach by road. It’s a short but wide-ranging experience, designed for anyone who wants a clear sense of the island’s scale and scenery without spending days travelling around it.

Lift off by helicopter and watch Kauaʻi turn cinematic. You’ll glide into the Hanapēpē Valley to see Manawaiopuna Falls, better known as the Jurassic Park waterfalls. From there, it’s on to Olokele Canyon and the vast, rust-red folds of Waimea Canyon, often called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, where waterfalls spill down the cliffs. Then comes the north shore, and this is where things get even more dramatic. You’ll trace the Nā Pali Coast’s towering sea cliffs, rising thousands of feet straight out of the ocean, sweep over the turquoise waters of Hanalei Bay, and spot the Princeville area tucked neatly into the greenery.

If the weather’s playing nicely, your pilot will finish strong with Mount Waiʻaleʻale, a dormant volcano and one of the wettest places on Earth. All that rain has a point. It feeds a riot of waterfalls and deep green ridges that feel almost unreal. It’s scenic, immersive, and adventurous enough to brag about later. Kauaʻi from the ground is lovely. From the air, it’s unforgettable.

A tour around earth’s most active volcano, Kilauea, will satisfy your appetite for adrenaline, while a barefoot stroll over black sand beaches will gently soothe your soul. From Madame Pele's fire-forged landscapes to the lush rainforests of the Hamakua Coast, this trip is a feast for the senses. Get snap-happy as you marvel at the towering sea cliffs and meandering valleys of the Kohala Mountains and take a moment to connect with nature at the foot of the crashing waterfalls.

Days 10-12

Maui

Explore the deep and rugged valleys and relax on paradise beaches in breathtaking Maui.

Maui Spectacular
Maui

This helicopter tour covers much of Maui in a single flight, combining West Maui’s valleys and waterfalls with East Maui’s rainforest and volcanic landscapes. You’ll also land at Ulupalakua Ranch on the slopes of Haleakalā for a short stop with refreshments and views. It’s a varied, mid-length flight perfect if you want both aerial sightseeing and a brief on-the-ground, away-from-it-all experience.

You’ll start by flying over West Maui, where deep valleys, dense rainforest, and long ribbons of waterfalls set the tone. It’s the side of the island that feels wild and cinematic, the sort of scenery that makes you forget about your camera for a moment because you’re too busy looking. Then comes the unexpected part. Your pilot lands at a private spot on Ulupalakua Ranch, high on the slopes of Mount Haleakalā. You’ll have around 20 minutes on the ground to stretch your legs, enjoy light refreshments, and take in wide-open views across rolling pastureland. On a clear day, you’ll catch views stretching all the way to the sea on both sides of the island.

Back in the air, the flight continues over East Maui for an extended look at the lush Hana region and the vast volcanic landscape of Haleakalā. From this angle, the island’s scale becomes clearer, and the contrast between the rainforest, the coastline, and the crater becomes clear. It’s adventurous without being intense, visually rich, and varied enough to feel like you’ve really seen Maui rather than just skimmed over it.
