Overview

This 60-minute Royal Crown Circle Island Helicopter Tour departs from Honolulu and flies around the island of Oahu. The flight begins over Waikiki Beach and its skyline, then continues past Diamond Head State Monument, known as the island’s royal crown. The helicopter follows the Leeward coast, flying over Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve where beaches meet volcanic cliffs. Next, the route passes Makapu’u Lighthouse before heading along the Windward Coast. Passengers see the Ko’olau Mountains above Lanikai Beach and the coral reefs and sandbars of Kaneohe Bay. The flight continues past Mokoli’i Island and Ka’a’awa Valley. The pilot flies close to Sacred Falls, where water drops over 1,000 feet into the rainforest below. The helicopter then reaches the North Shore, known for surfing at Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay. On the return, the flight passes over the Dole Plantation’s pineapple fields before completing the circle with a flyover of Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial. The tour includes a phone strap and parking fees. Hotel pickup and gratuities are not included. Passengers may choose to fly with helicopter doors on or off, subject to safety and weight restrictions.
