18-Minute Waikiki & Diamond Head Helicopter Tour

WHAT YOU CAN SEE

This short Oahu helicopter route focuses on Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head and Honolulu’s coastline. Look across the beachfront and city toward the island’s volcanic scenery from the air. The route map illustrates the general sightseeing area. Weather, air traffic and operational conditions may change the flight path.

Hanauma Bay and Makapuʻu Lighthouse are NOT included in the 18-minute flight. Stops 3 and 4 on the comparison map belong to the longer southeast Oahu route.

IS THIS FLIGHT RIGHT FOR YOU?

Choose 18 minutes when Waikiki and Diamond Head are your main sightseeing priorities or you prefer a shorter helicopter experience. For more coastline, compare the 30-minute southeast Oahu flight. The 60-minute circle-island option offers the broadest variety of island scenery. See all three on our Robinson 44 page.
