Helicopter Tour of Oahu

Aloha!  The Hidden Oahu Tour was a 45 minute Helicopter flight we took by Makani Kai Helicopters. This is the write up of the Tour:

This spectacular tour shows you all the 'must see' attractions and scenic vistas of Oahu, from serent Keehi Lagoon and historic Honolulu Harbour, to Aloha Tower, Ala Moana Beach Park, Magic Island and world famous Waikiki Beach.

On the eastern end of the island is Hanauma Bay, the remnants of a volcanic crater that is now a marine sanctuary and popular snorkel spot.  Up next comes the Halona Blowhole, Sandy Beach, Makapuu Point and lightpoint, and colorful Sea Life Park.

After cruising above the powdery white sands of Waimanalo Beach, the tour continues over the gorgeous coral formations of Kaneohe Bay, distinctive Chinaman's Hat, and then up into the 'Jurassic Park' valley, where a dozen major motion pictures have been filmed.  The highlight of the tour is Sacred Falls, a shear and splendid 1,000-foot cascade.

On your way over Oahu's Central Plain, you'll see the world's largest agricultural maze at the Dole Pineapple Plantation and the 'birthing stones' of Hawaiian royalty.  Your tour concludes with a panoramic visa of Pearl Harbour.
