As someone with a major fear of heights, I was the last person in the world who would willingly get on a helicopter. However, I wanted to experience the beauty of Oahu in a way most couldn’t...in the air, hovering in a helicopter. So, before I flew, I shared my fear of heights with Paradise Helicopters, and indicated that I wanted to be away from the window. So they snuggly placed me in the middle of the back seat between two other passengers. This was a nice sized 7-seater helicopter, and it was quite cozy. Our incredible US veteran pilot, Jay Moorman, gave us reassurance that he had everything absolutely under control, and we had excellent flight conditions, as it was 7:45am, clear and sunny conditions, with a light breeze. Our pilot Jay over exceeded my expectations, as he took us to some incredible places normally not seen by most visitors, including green mountain vistas of the Central Valley, as well as a flyover at the USS Arizona Memorial. I put full trust in my pilot Jay, and the flight helped me overcome a fear, while enhancing my entire Hawaiian experience.

Uncrowded and glorious beackes of Makaha and Poka‘i lace the coast. Historic Makaha Valley comes into view as you are a few minutes away from arriving back to Ko‘olina.

This is a good and inexpensive way to do the Haleakala sunset tour with audio narrative of things to see along the way to the mountain top. Good value for the price. A quick tip: this app burns through your phone battery fast so having a car phone cable is a must or else your phone battery will run out of juice pretty quick...
