Know Your Tour Aircraft

There are a number of helicopter tour companies in Hawaii  all using different aircraft with different configurations.  Its important you ask yourself or the company you are considering flying with  these questions before committing to your tour:

  1. Do I want to have a private tour or am I prepared to share my helicopter with other people?
  2. Do I want to fly doors on or doors off?
  3. Do I have a guaranteed window seat or will I be happy being allocated a middle seat?
  4. How clean is my aircraft , my headset and the surface areas I will be touching?
  5. What is the safety record of the company?
  6. Will my tour be cancelled if there isn’t sufficient passengers traveling ?
  7. Will my tour take off in adverse weather conditions ?
