About this experience

Let us whisk you away to an exclusive landing spot at a stunning and private valley on the Windward coast of O'ahu. This beautiful, 4000-acre paradise boasts lush, green landscapes, mountains that reach to the clouds and gentle trade winds that reach from the nearby coast.
Your private helicopter tour begins over the island’s South Shore for a chance to see a birds-eye view of the famous Waikiki skyline and Diamond Head crater.
After cruising over Hanauma Bay, the Windward coast and the famed Kualoa Ranch, you'll begin your graceful decent to land. Your 15 minute stay inside a private and lush oasis, away from the crowds and tourist attractions, includes Wailua chocolates, a champagne toast, leis and memories that will last a lifetime.
Rising back into the blue sky, your helicopter takes you to explore the lush forests and emerald cliffs of the Ka’a’awa Valley and fly in close for a view of Oahu’s highest waterfall, Sacred Falls.
