A New Way to Explore the Island with a Private Ridge Landing

See Oʻahu from a new perspective as the island opens beneath you. Feel the wind, hear the blades, and take in the kind of view that stays with you long after you land.

Each flight is guided by local pilots who share the island’s stories and hidden gems, from takeoff over Honolulu to a secluded ridgeline where your private landing begins.

From Pearl Harbor and Waikīkī to the dramatic cliffs of the windward coast, you’ll follow the classic Magnum route before touching down at an exclusive lookout high above the North Shore — a place you can only reach by helicopter. You’ll fly in the same style of helicopter made famous by Magnum P.I., a Hughes 500, built for agility, open-air thrill, and now an unforgettable stop on the ground

Check-In Time

60 minutes prior to departure. Preflight briefing begins 20 minutes prior to departure. If you are not present for the preflight briefing, we will be forced to reschedule you.

Cameras & Phones

While we understand the desire to capture the moment, the doors-off nature of our experience requires extreme safety precautions.

Phones: Allowed only in Magnum-provided cases and lanyards. Available to purchase for $10.00 USD or rent for $5.00 USD.

DSLR & Larger Cameras: Allowed only with a Magnum-provided lanyard. Camera must have a secure hardpoint capable of accepting our lanyard. For dedicated photographers, we offer private Photo Charters.

GoPro Cameras: Allowed only with a Magnum lanyard. No grips, wrist straps, chest mounts, or head mounts.

Not Permitted: No selfie sticks, gimbal mounts, or devices without a secure hardpoint.

One Device Per Person: Only one device is allowed per passenger. You must maintain direct control of your device at all times.

Personal Items & Attire

Head Coverings: No headwear other than glasses or sunglasses is allowed on board. While we respect members of all creeds and religions, for the safety of everyone on board we cannot allow head coverings, scarves, or other head wraps that may pose a danger.

Watches: Allowed only if secured with a traditional clasp. No magnetic or Velcro clasps.

Footwear: Appropriate footwear must be worn at all times. Footwear must secure around the ankle — close-toed shoes are preferred.

Medical Necessities: May be allowed on board, but additional time will be required for a briefing on appropriate use. If the item is a medical necessity but unlikely to be needed during flight (such as an EpiPen for a foodborne allergy), we ask that you leave it behind with our staff.
