procedures. And their expert, military trained pilots, all average more than 12,000 flight hours (lucky them),
that's like spending 500 days in the air-nonstop! Maybe this all sounds great,
but you're a little apprehensive about your first helicopter tour. Would it help
if we were also the safest company?

They fly American Eurocopter A-Stars. They are an FAA certified carrier with a
flawless safety record for their entire 14-year history. You'll find souvenirs
for the kids and grandma at our full-service gift shop-including posters and
videos for when words fail you, and trust us, once you've seen Hawaii from such
a heavenly perspective, they will.

You'll have the opportunity to purchase a video tour recorded by our Total
