One of the most unforgettable experiences in Oahu was the Royal Crown helicopter tour. Seeing the entire shape of the island from the air is something no other activity can match. After taking the flight myself, I fully understood why travelers often describe this tour as a highlight of their trip.
My Personal Flight Experience
The safety briefing before takeoff was clear and well organized, making the whole process comfortable even for first-timers. The pilot’s explanations during the flight were easy to follow and added depth to the scenery we were looking at. I was also lucky enough to witness a double rainbow during the evening flight, which instantly became one of my favorite travel memories.
I originally booked a closed-door helicopter, but I was offered a free upgrade to a doors-off flight at the counter. With no windows blocking the view, the coastline and mountain ranges looked completely open and breathtaking. For reference:
-
The seat next to the pilot offers the widest view
-
One passenger sits in the middle, where side visibility is limited
