Hawaii is home to a wide array of natural beauty and phenomena; this means that there are so many tours and experiences visitors to the tropical state choose to embark on. It is hard to get through everything in the short time that you may have on the islands, you may have to prioritize one activity over another; however, one adventure that goes overlooked is a helicopter tour of the islands.
In this article we want to explore why a helicopter tour is the best way to tour the Hawaiian islands as well as what makes an air tour an unparalleled experience versus just another day in the middle of the Pacific.
What is the Best Helicopter Tour in Hawaii?
This may be a loaded topic as there are many different opinions on the subject. Truthfully to categorize the Best Helicopter Tour in the entire state of Hawaii we have to take into account the foundational things like pilot expertise, safety and cleanliness of the aircraft as well as things that vary the experience based on the individual. This latter point includes things like weather, doors on or off, and the bucket list sites you had in mind– to start.
If you are looking to book a photo helicopter tour or a doors off adventure– make sure to check out our recommendations on what that experience can be like and what we have to offer. However, if you are looking for a more casual experience but are still looking to customize the trip to fit the list of sites that you and your group would like to see– make sure that you book a private helicopter tour to ensure that the pilot can accommodate those requests!
What Can I Expect on a Hawaii Helicopter Tour?
What you can expect depends on our previous paragraph, which helicopter tour you book. If you are booking with a company like Ali’i Air Tours, where we specialize our tours to show you all that the island of Kauai has to offer; from the more secretive spots that our pilots have discovered over the years to the popular destinations that are on your bucket list.
If you are booking your helicopter tour with a company that operates across all of the Hawaiian Islands, they will be sure to hit up all of the notable spots from the sky. While these companies may not have the wealth of knowledge about the destinations you are traveling to, that a local helicopter tour would, they may offer some semi-private options that work for what you and your group desire.
Our recommendation would be to go on a helicopter tour, run by a local company, that has reviews to back their experienced pilot and aircrafts.
Why Book a Private Helicopter Tour in Hawaii?
Pretty much all great companies who specialize in private helicopter tours of Hawaii will have an instant booking button alongside a calendar of availability; this is usually listed under their “Book Now” button!
If you aren’t comfortable booking your helicopter tour with a company without getting in contact, you should be able to either call or email the selected company using the information on their website. On our Ali’i Air Tours website we have both the instant booking and contact options readily available to make sure that there’s no guessing games or hoops that our guests have to jump through.
Transparency and customer service is key– those elements combined with a pilot and company who cares about the islands of Hawaii and their customers are what collectively make for the best helicopter tour across the islands.
