Next, your pilot sets his course for pristine Hanauma Bay. A lofty view of Hanauma reveals the abundant coral beneath the emerald sea. Your next stop on your journey will be the black sculptured sea cliffs of Makapu‘u. Once above Makapu‘u you are treated to breathtaking views of sea cliffs that rise from the deep blue ocean to heights of nearly 1,000 ft. Nestled on the summit of these cliffs is historic Makapu‘u Light House, reminding us just how unforgiving this coastline can be to mariners.

We then head around the rugged eastern coastline for an aerial perspective of Sea Life Park and the estate from that classic 80s TV hit Magnum P.I. As we fly over Kailua and Lanikai beaches, you’ll understand why this stretch of beach was ranked one of the top beaches in the world. We’ll then cross the breathtaking Pali Lookout and head for the rain forest of  Nu‘uanu Valley. Nestled deep in the valley is a 200 ft. waterfall that is rarely seen by kama’aina and visitors alike. Before returning to the airport you’ll have a rare opportunity to get an aerial perspective of Pearl Harbor’s Battleship Row and the hallowed waters surrounding the USS Arizona.

Sacred Helicopter Tour Package
The Sacred Falls helicopter tour includes most of the Lanikai tour and continues northward form Point Lanikai to Kaneohe Bay, Ka‘a‘awa Valley and Sacred Falls. Ka‘a‘awa Valley has been the choice of many directors for filming locations such as Jurassic Park, Godzilla, Windtalkers and most recently ABC’s Lost.

When you approach Sacred Falls, you instantly recognize why it is one of Hawaii’s natural wonders. It is truly an awe-inspiring sight to witness fresh mountain water cascading down its 1,000 ft. face. Your helicopter flight commands views of the falls like no other because Sacred Falls can only be seen by helicopter. From the falls, you’ll turn southward to see the pineapple fields of Dole and Del Monte. You’ll then return to the heliport via the historic Battleship Row of Pearl Harbor.
