Pearl Harbor Fly-Drive With Helicopter Package

The Best View At Pearl Harbor Is From Above

Pearl Harbor & Oahu Helicopter Tour

This tour has it all. Round trip airline tickets to Oahu, rental car for the entire day, and a 45-minute helicopter tour around the entire island of Oahu. This is one of our most desired Pearl Harbor experiences since it gives you a beautiful view from the air while providing you flexibility to explore on your own.

Take a trip back in time and see Pearl Harbor from the vantage point of Japanese fighter jets. Considering that our other popular Pearl Harbor tours will typically only offer the experience and view of the brave American heroes, this one is great at showing you the other side of the coin. Additionally, your flights into and out of Oahu are set so you can maximize your day on the island. Take as long as you want!

Tour Description

This is a great day for visitors from Maui, Kauai and Big Island to see the island of Oahu from both the ground and the sky.

Start your day with a scenic, quick flight into Honolulu. There are beautiful views outside your window throughout the flight. Depending on where you are traveling from, you will pass over islands of Molokai, Lanai and others.

Once on the ground on Oahu, itʻs a great time to head over for a morning helicopter flight (this is flexible). You will see some of the best sites across the southern part of the island and see the sunken USS Arizona & USS Utah from above which is truly breathtaking.

Back on the ground, take your party over to see the sites you have reserved at Pearl Harbor.

Visits to the Arizona Memorial require reservations through our National Park Service partners at recreation.gov. Other museums like Battleship Missouri, Pearl Harbor Aviation or Pacific Fleet Submarine visits can be reserved at checkout.

Once you have explored all the sites at Pearl Harbor, you will have time to drive out to various other places across the island. See Punchbowl, Waikiki, Diamond Head Crater and historic Honolulu too.

You will return your rental car back to the airport after 8-10 hours on the island for your flight back.

In the notes please let us know if you want to extend your time on the island with earlier and later flights!

Please ask us here if you have any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Far In Advance Should I Reserve My Tickets?

We recommend you reserve your tour at least a month in advance of your arrival to Hawaii. Tour seats and seats on your flights from some islands to Oahu and return are limited, especially since we book early flights to Oahu and later flights back. We want to give you a good view from the plane as well! One reason that many people consider this to be the best Pearl Harbor tour is that it gives you a once-in-a-lifetime to see the stunning Hawaiian Islands from the sky. During our 45-minute helicopter tour, we will make sure that we plan our time so that you can see everything that you want to see. For a reasonable price that comes with an impressive itinerary, it’s easy to understand why this is considered by many to be the best Pearl Harbor tour available.

What Sites Will We See?

Diamond Head
Hanauma Bay
Koko Head

How Long is the Pearl Harbor Tour?

Since you are driving yourself, you can spend as long as you would like at Pearl Harbor. We recommend about 2.5 hours if you are planning to do a lot more during the day. You will have to make sure you work in your visit with the timing of your helicopter tour that day.

Does We Accommodate Large Groups?

There are only so many helicopter tours available on a single day. Best to ask us and we can work out something that may fulfill your needs to see Oahu from the sky.

Will You Match Competitors’ Prices?

Your enjoyment is our primary concern. We will match and even beat our competitor’s price for the exact same tour.

Can I Get a Refund if I Cancel My Tour?

Absolutely. However, make sure to let us know 48 hours in advance so that we don’t start dedicating our personal time planning for your group. Each Hawaii Pearl Harbor tour that we offer requires careful planning based on the personal needs of our clients, so 48 hours advance notice is necessary for a refund.

Do you Offer Tours from the Nearby Hawaiian Islands?

This package is available only from the outer islands of Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii. This is a fly and drive package that includes a helicopter ride. Pickup of your rental car is at Honolulu’s airport.
