Pali Makani Flight
This tour begins with a beautiful view of placid Keehi Lagoon and continues over historic Honolulu Harbor. Here you will see Aloha Tower, once the tallest structure on the island, as well cruise ships from distant ports. Next is downtown Honolulu, featuring the only royal palace in the country. Above the city stands Punchbowl, the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. The tour continues above Ala Moana Beach Park, Magic Island, the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor and Waikiki Beach. Beyond, you?ll see Diamond Head crater from a dramatic perspective, the "Gold Coast" where multi-millionaires make their homes, and spectacular Hanauma Bay. Rounding the east end of the island, you'll see rugged coastline, inviting Sandy Beach and Makapuu Point and lighthouse. Your aerial tour continues over Sea Life Park, the estate where TV's Magnum P.I. was filmed, and miles of white sand beach. You'll be treated to a stunning view of Mount Olomana and, later, the Nuuanu Pali where King Kamehameha's warriors won a decisive battle to unite the islands. On your return to the airport, you will be treated to a terrific view of the Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri at Pearl Harbor.  

Hidden Oahu Tour
This spectacular tour shows you the very best of the island. Depending on weather conditions, the pilot will select the most suitable route to show passengers all the "must see" attractions and scenic vistas, from serene Keehi Lagoon and historic Honolulu Harbor, 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 come the Halona Blowhole, Sandy Beach, Makapuu Point and lighthouse, 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 "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.

Your tour concludes with a panoramic vista of Pearl Harbor.
