About this activity

Head to the Turtle Bay Resort helipad for a safety briefing before boarding your 4-passenger helicopter. Get comfortable at a window seat, and take off on your scenic tour of Oahu’s North Shore.

The licensed pilot narrates your aerial adventure via two-way headsets while you marvel at the views below. Look down on the white expanse of the northeastern coastline, whose beaches peek out between mountainsides draped in lush green foliage. Glimpse the birthplace of big-wave surfing as you soar over Waimea Bay, searching for the famous breaks that only the most experienced surfers dare to ride at Banzai Pipeline and Sunset Beach.

See the Ko‘olau Mountains, one of Oahu’s two major mountain ranges, and soak up the vivid beauty of Sacred Falls (Kaliuwa’a), a 1,000-foot (305-meter) waterfall best viewed from above, as it is now closed to the public. Your tour then ends when you return to the helipad.
