Makani Kai has everything you want from an air charter company and it starts from the telephone booking. They take ALL your details (telephone number, hotel and room number) explaining that great safe flights require good weather and that they need to be able to contact you if circumstances change. The pick up was on time with a friendly courteous... More

My husband had been wanting to do a helicopter ride since our last trip to Oahu. I was very nervous about it and didn't know how our 5 year old would do spending an hour in the air. I'm so happy we made this choice. Our pilot Jeff was incredible! What a great personality! We saw the entire Island during... More

I was a little uncertain about the safety and comfort of helicopter tours, and I'm SO glad I chose Makani Kai helicopters. It was worth every penny. I chose to take the 1 hour tour, and it really packed in all of the great sites around Oahu. The pilot was professional and knowledgeable, and he kept the helicopter pretty steady... More

The tour was awesome. The pick-up from our hotel was prompt and the driver was very informative. Our pilot "Jeff" was friendly and knowledgeable. It's absolutely amazing to see Oahu from the air. This is a very professional company. The only down side is I wish it lasted longer!!! More
