This classic tour begins with a beautiful view of placid Keehi Lagoon and continues over historic Honolulu Harbor.  Here you will see Aloha Tower, once the tallest structure on the island, as well as cruise ships from distant ports.  Next is downtown Honolulu, featuring the only royal palace in the country.  Above the city stands Punchbowl, the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.  The tour continues above Ala Moana Beach Park, Magic Island, the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor and Waikiki Beach, and includes a spectacular view of Diamond Head.

You’ll continue along the “Gold Coast” where multi-millionaires make their homes, and spectacular Hanauma Bay.  Rounding the east end of the island, you’ll see rugged coastline, inviting Sandy Beach, and Makapuu Point and lighthouse.  Your aerial tour continues over Sea Life Park, the estate where TV’s Magnum P.I. was filmed and miles of pristine white sand beach.

You’ll be treated to a stunning view of Mount Olomana and later the Nuuanu Pali where King Kamehameha’s warriors won a decisive battle to unite the islands.  On your return, you’ll see the Arizona Memorial and the battleship Missouri at Pearl Harbor.
